Staff Report
November 1, 2022
TOPIC: First Amendment to Scanning, Digitizing, and Indexing Services Agreement with
ARC Document Solutions, Inc.
AGENDA TITLE:
Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement for Scanning, Digitizing, and Indexing
Services with ARC Document Solutions, Inc. in an Amount Not to exceed $80,000
(General Fund and Non -General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to increase the aggregate
contract authority by $80,000 with ARC Document Solutions, Inc. for digitization of City
employee personnel files, from November 1, 2022 through October 19, 2024, subject to
non -substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to the Agreement with ARC
Documentation Services for scanning and indexing of departmental files within the
Human Resources Department in accordance with the City of Santa Ana's Records
Retention Schedule. The City currently has an existing contract with ARC Document
Solutions through the Planning and Building Department. ARC Document Solutions
provides scanning, digitizing, and indexing services, and the City Council approved the
agreement, in addition to two other vendors, on October 20, 2020 (Exhibit 1) as a result
of a Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
The Human Resources Department intends to transition departmental processes to be
technology based and paperless where possible. Currently, active and separated City
employee personnel files are housed in numerous paper files within the Human
Resources Department, and the number of files continues to increase. As required by the
City's Records Retention Schedule, the Department must retain certain Personnel -related
documents several years beyond the employees' separation from City service, which
continues to compound the file storage.
By leveraging technology and providing an electronic document management system,
staff time will be more efficiently utilized to store and retrieve information as well as
provide a protected storage and access solution. Due to the sensitive nature of the file
First Amendment to Scanning, Digitizing, and Indexing Services Agreement with ARC
Document Solutions, Inc.

contents, offsite storage creates a significant security liability in the access and retrieval
of such documents.
The total amount to be expended during the term of this Agreement for services provided
for the Human Resources Department, shall not exceed $80,000.00 (consisting of
$61,380 for base services and a contingency of $18,620).
