First Amendment to Agreement with MRI Software LLC (Formerly Happy Software LLC) <br />May 21, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />4 <br />2 <br />8 <br />1 <br />The original Agreement is set to expire on May 31, 2024. To continue using this essential <br />software for the operation of the Housing Authority, staff is requesting to extend the term <br />of this Agreement by two years until May 31, 2026. This also requires amending the <br />Agreement to add additional compensation in the amount of $148,100 over the two-year <br />period. The First Amendment to the Agreement with MRI Software LLC is attached as <br />Exhibit 2. <br />In addition to housing authority management software, MRI also provides client screening <br />services which are used by hundreds of housing authorities across the country. The <br />Housing Authority is required to perform criminal background checks and sex offender <br />checks prior to admitting any adult applicants to the HCV program. Background checks <br />include lifetime registration requirements under any state sex offender registration <br />program. The Housing Authority currently uses National Credit Reporting for this service <br />and would like to replace that smaller agreement by adding a background screening <br />service to this amended Agreement with MRI Software LLC. <br />MRI Software LLC has provided an outstanding quality of service over the last three <br />years. The use of this housing authority management software is mission-critical to the <br />operation of the Housing Authority. Without this software, the Housing Authority would <br />be unable to provide rental assistance to very low-income and extremely low-income <br />families in the City. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funding for this Agreement is available in the FY 2023-24 Housing Authority and Other <br />Contractual Services and Computer Software Subscriptions account (no. 14018760- <br />62300/66511) and will be budgeted in the future fiscal years for expenditures as shown <br />in the table below: <br />Fiscal <br />Year <br />Accounting Unit <br />- Accounting # <br />Accounting Unit, Account <br />Description Amount <br />FY 23-24 <br />(June)14018760-62300 Housing Authority-Vouchers ADM, <br />Contract Services-Professional $500 <br />FY 23-24 <br />(June)14018760-66511 Housing Authority-Vouchers ADM, <br />Computer Software Subscriptions $5,500 <br />FY 24-25 <br />(July-June)14018760-62300 Housing Authority-Vouchers ADM, <br />Contract Services-Professional $3,000 <br />FY 24-25 <br />(July-June)14018760-66511 Housing Authority-Vouchers ADM, <br />Computer Software Subscriptions $69,100 <br />FY 25-26 <br />(July-May)14018760-62300 Housing Authority-Vouchers ADM, <br />Contract Services-Professional $2,500 <br />FY 25-26 <br />(July-May)14018760-66511 Housing Authority-Vouchers ADM, <br />Computer Software Subscriptions $67,500 <br />Total Contract Amount $148,100
