Joint resolution authorizing an emergency appropriation and a contract with Berry Dunn McNeil and Parker LLC, Portland, Maine for consulting services to complete a review of contract deliverables for E-filing implementation in an amount not to exceed $71,984.
Staff Summary
* The Clerk of the Circuit Court requested professional consulting services to validate the implementation of a custom developed electronic filing (e-filing) solution to determine if contracts were awarded properly for work related to the project.

* Based on the criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals, an interdepartmental evaluation committee comprised of Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Court, and Finance and Administrative Services, recommended Berry Dunn McNeil and Parker LLC as the most favorable proposal for Lake County.
