SUMMARY:

 

Approval of both amendments to the Master Services Agreements (MA-017-13011864 and MA-017-19010750) with Science Applications International Corporation for Data Center Operations, Service Desk, Desktop Support, Application Services, Network, Voice and Security Services will extend the terms of the contracts and result in significant cost savings and allow the County to defer expenses associated with re-bidding the contracts.

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The County of Orange currently has two master services agreements with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for (1) data center operations, desktop support, applications and service desk services (MA-017-13011864) (DDAS Contract); and (2) network, voice and security services (MA-017-19010750) (NVS Contract). See Attachments C and F for prior Board of Supervisors (Board) action.

 

Although both the DDAS and NVS Contracts do not end until June 30, 2027, Orange County Information Technology (OCIT) has begun planning to rebid both scopes of services under one contract since it is an extensive process and will require a period to transition services should the incumbent vendor not be selected. However, in consideration of the County’s current fiscal challenges and upcoming large scale IT projects, including the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation, SAIC was asked to consider submitting a cost savings proposal under the County’s recently implemented Supplier Contract Reduction Program.

 

OCIT is requesting Board authorization to accept SAIC’s proposed estimated fee reductions reflected in the chart below, in exchange for a five-year extension on both contracts, with two additional one-year contract extension periods. The reductions will go into effect with the upcoming, new Contract Year, starting July 2025. The total reduction for both Contracts is estimated to be approximately $25.9 million, or approximately 10%, over the remaining terms of the Contracts.    

 

*Fees shown above reflect estimated charges for ongoing, base contract services and do not include optional project work orders.

 

In addition, the County would be able to defer expenses related to the Request for Proposal (RFP) process and costs associated with potential disentanglement services from the current provider and transitioning services to a new provider, which are estimated at several million. 

 

It should be noted that the last pricing benchmark conducted in October 2023, by a third-party benchmarking firm hired by the County, revealed that SAIC’s overall total fees for all services were slightly below standard market price.  The Contracts also provide the County the ability to Benchmark on an annual basis to ensure pricing remains competitive, given the service levels, volumes and nature of services. SAIC’s Customer Satisfaction Surveys have consistently shown that customers are satisfied with SAIC services.  Lastly, at the department’s request, SAIC has also committed to partnering with local schools and colleges to implement a mentoring/internship program.

 

In addition to the requested contract extensions, OCIT is requesting various administrative changes to the Contracts, including:  1) Adjustments to Service Level Requirements (SLRs) and SLR At-Risk amounts; 2) Location of performance; 3) Key Personnel; and 4) Required reports.

 

The Orange County Preference Policy is not applicable to these contract renewals. The Contractor’s performance has been confirmed as at least satisfactory. OCIT has verified there are no concerns that must be addressed with respect to Contractor’s ownership/name, litigation status or conflicts with County interests.

 

The Agreements include subcontractors. See Attachments C and F for information regarding subcontractors and Contract Summary Form.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

 

The charts below show the increases in the not to exceed values for both Contracts, through the proposed, five-year extensions, including the discounts. The fees shown reflect estimated charges for ongoing, base contract services and do not include optional project work orders.

 

DDAS Contract:

* Note that Amendment No. 23 did not have any financial impacts.

 

 

 

NVS Contract:

* Note that Amendment No. 9 did not have any financial impacts

 

Sufficient appropriations for both Contracts will be included in the FY 2025-26 Budget for Fund 289, OCIT Countywide Services Fund and will be included in the budgeting process for future fiscal years. The Contracts contain language allowing the County to terminate the agreements, reduce the level of services and/or renegotiate the levels of services to be provided, for any reason, including availability of funding.
