Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On September 19, 2023, the Board approved Legistar item 23-1448 authorizing the use of Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Funds for Professional Development Consulting Services provided by Nick Warner Consulting in the amount of $10,000 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24. As a result, Agreement 8050 with Nick Warner Consulting LLC was executed for a one-year term beginning September 22, 2023 with a not-to-exceed of $10,000, for advanced professional development and business coaching services.
Throughout the process of the vendor’s services, the costs of services exceeded the $10,000 threshold as of November 2023 due to the need for additional management team meetings and virtual coaching sessions above and beyond what was originally anticipated. Since completing the overall service and project within a timely manner was crucial, services were continued without disruption through the end of December 2023, resulting in exceeding the not-to-exceed amount by $6,000.
The proposed retroactive Amendment I to Agreement 8050 will increase the not-to-exceed amount by $6,000 back to November 1, 2023, making the new not-to-exceed amount $16,000. As of December 31, 2023, the project is deemed completed and no further services shall be provided to the County.
