4. Access to Customer Systems and Personnel
Timely and successful completion of this proposal requires, and is predicated on, SAPD/OCIAC providing
TaskForce Systems with timely and efficient use or access to specific computing resources, communication
networks, system administrators, IT personnel, materials, and information.
Successful development and deployment of the ohanges requires TaskForce Systems complete access to the
existing SAPD/OCIAC SRA CMS and Investigations systems and databases, and to the computer engineering
and maintenance personnel for software installation and configuration. SAPD/OCIAC personnel will also need
to participate and contribute time to answering questions, reviewing and testing. TaskForce Systems will work

requiring access to third party data,, the responsibility for securing necessary access, use permission and
documentation rests solely with the customer.
Successful implementation of the solution requires that the customer provide these above mentioned items and
services to TaskForce Systems in a timely manner. Failure to ;provide the services, information, and access

in entering and maintaining data, including without limitation determinations of reasonable suspicion or

the SRA CMS and Investigations systems or any component thereof.

OCIAC Maintenance Proposal
Memo
To: City Manager Kevin O'Rourke
From: Sergeant Brian Sheldon
CC: File
Date: April 23, 2013
Re: Agreement Review & Approval
VENDOR
Task Force Systems
AGREEMENT TERM & AMOUNT
The agreement is for 8 months in an amount not-to exceed $21,600.
BACKGROUND
Using FY2006 UASI funds, the Department purchased a Case Management System (CMS) from
SRA for the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC). The case management
system has been hosted on departmental servers for the past 4 years. Under the attached
agreement, Task Force Systems will move the case management system from departmental
servers and install it on OCIAC servers, while also providing one year of maintenance.
This action reduces the burden on the IT Section by removing a program that required regular
maintenance and frees up available server resources.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the Department or City as the activity is UASI reimbursable.
Please let me know when the agreement is ready for pick-up and I will submit it to the City Clerk
for final processing. I can be reach via e-mail at bsheldonCcDsanta-ana.org or by telephone at 714-
245-8748. I appreciate your assistance with this matter.

Norma,
This is a professional services agreement and is not required to be bid, in addition this is
the only company that can perform the work as they developed the software. It's probably
easier for me to draft a sole source document and cost benefit analysis and send that to you
to forward to the CM. I also noticed someone stamped the agreement requiring insurance. I
spoke to the COA and we agreed it would not require insurance as the vendor is never going to
be on site and the attorney signed it under those conditions. Can you get the insurance
stamp removed. I will try and get you the sole source by tomorrow at the latest. Please
call me if you have any questions or concerns.

Good Morning Brian,
I have been away on jury duty and upon my return I learned that the City Manager returned the
agreement to our office unsigned, and is requesting more information on it. 1) Has it
gone out to bid? If yes, the date and RFP No. 2) If no, please provide the
reason/explanation why.
Please submit information and so our office can re-submit to him for signature.
Thanks and please call if you need more info.
