Summary: The Bureau of Technology partnered with various County offices to deliver new websites. This includes the County’s main website (www.cookcountyil.gov) which covers Offices under the President, Board of Review, Emergency Management and Regional Security, Public Defender and the State’s Attorney. The leveraged shared services provide a more centralized approach to delivering website content, reduces the number of site instances, promotes more uniform security practices and helps drive down costs. This agreement is aligned to the Bureau of Technology’s guiding principles: shared-first, sustainability, leveraging a Countywide standard along with reuse before buy, and buy before build. A key benefit of this agreement would allow offices like the Assessor and Clerk to take advantage of secure platforms for hosting and delivering content on their websites.

Summary: This increase will allow the Cook County Assessor’s Office to continue to receive mainframe consulting services from RMM Consulting. To capture the economic market effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cook County Assessor's Office applied a “COVID adjustment factor” to all eligible residential and commercial parcels in Cook County. This type of response was unprecedented in size and effort, which resulted in an unforeseen amount of consulting hours being consumed.
The consultant was an integral part of planning and executing the effort to calculate COVID adjustments within the constraints of the AS400 and load them onto the mainframe. Without this effort, the project would not have been completed. After review of hours, it was determined that an additional 525 hours would be needed to complete original scope of the contract.
This is a Sole Source Procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
