Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) recommends the Board of Supervisors approve and authorize the Chair to sign Agreement for Services 005-S1611 to ensure continued use of Panoramic Software Corporation's proprietary client data management software for the Adult Protective Services (APS), Public Guardian (PG), and General Assistance (GA) programs.  Failure to approve this Agreement will result in the loss of a case management software system which is integral to the operation of HHSA's APS, PG, and GA programs, and consequently will lead to an inability for these programs to access or maintain case management data.  
 
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
HHSA's APS program, has contracted with Panoramic Software Corporation since 2012.  HHSA's PG and GA programs began using the Panoramic software in June 2014.  All programs utilize the software for client case management.  With the current contract expiring on June 30, 2015, HHSA desires to continue using the software by renewing the contract for a five-year (5) term.  In return, Panoramic Software Corporation has agreed to maintain the 2014 rates for the next five (5) years.
 
Pursuant to Board of Supervisors Resolution 142-2001, proprietary software is exempt from competitive bidding.  HHSA worked with County of El Dorado's Information Technologies Department to ensure the software and the contract meet Agency requirements.
