The City has issued purchase order 22000079 for $49,900 for technical support services for Doug Christianson. Doug has been the Technology Contractor of the Police Department for several years. He is currently under a contract with the City to provide technical work on the Police Departments fixed and mobile computer systems, the City’s radio system, security camera systems, in-car video systems and numerous other technology projects for IPD.
He currently is under contract working 40 hours per week at a pay rate of $41.00. No benefits are provided. It should be noted that the contractual agreement with Mr. Christianson is set at $48 per hour, but Mr. Christianson has elected to only bill the City at $41 per hour for his services.
The approval of this change order will increase the total amount of the purchase order to $80,032. Because of changes in the Procurement Policy approved in 2021, this contract exceeds the $50,000 threshold for City Manager spending authority and requires City Council approval to extend the agreement for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Approval of this item shall authorize change orders up to an additional ten (10) percent of the new total amount of the purchase order, provided appropriations are available.
