Through Amendment No. 1, the temporary IT staffing budget was increased by an additional $1,250,000.00 through December 31, 2021, for an adjusted budget of $3,749,226.40. AMENDMENT NO. 3 - 2 of 3 (Viri Technology, LLC) Through Amendment No. 2, the Kent City Council increased the temporary IT staffing budget by an additional $1,224,500.00 through December 31, 2021, for an adjusted budget of $4,973,726.49.

The City will monitor fees charged in relation to that collective budgeted amount, and if services provided by Consultant and others will cause the City to exceed that budgeted amount, the City will either seek additional approval through a contract amendment authorized by the Mayor or Council as the Kent City Code may require, or terminate Consultant’s services as provided for in this Agreement. Consultant acknowledges and understands that it is not the City’s exclusive provider of these services, but is instead one of several consultants who have been retained to provide temporary staffing and placement services. The City maintains its unqualified right to obtain these services through other sources. This Agreement is for on-call and as-needed services, the need for which is determined in the City’s sole judgment and discretion. Consultant shall have no obligation to continue performance once the “not to exceed” amount limitation has been attained. The City shall be responsible for all charges for services in the event the City fails to notify Consultant of termination of the assignment or fails to increase of the “not to exceed” amount. The Consultant’s billing rate will be negotiated at the time an Assigned Individual is assigned to perform services for the City. The temporary worker Consultant assigns to perform work under this Agreement (“Assigned Individual”) will submit either an electronic time record or a time sheet for City’s verification and approval at the end of each week. Based upon that approved time record or time sheet, the Consultant will submit weekly payment invoices to the City for payment, which will reflect the previously agreed and negotiated billing rate. B. The City shall provide payment to Consultant within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of proper invoice from Consultant. If the City objects to all or any portion of an invoice due to billing or invoicing errors, it shall notify the Consultant and reserves the option to only pay that portion of the invoice not in dispute until any such dispute is settled by the parties. In that event, the parties will immediately make every effort to settle the disputed portion. AMENDMENT NO. 3 - 3 of 3 (Viri Technology, LLC) 3. Miscellaneous. A. The Consultant accepts all requirements of this Amendment by signing below, and by its signature waives any protest or claim it may have regarding the Agreement or this Amendment.
