Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
In June 2013, the Board of Supervisors adopted a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which included the replacement of the County’s property tax software system. On June 9, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved the master agreement in the amount of $1,701,429 for the acquisition of county-wide property tax software system. The Board of Supervisors subsequently approved six amendments between March 2017 and July 2024 totaling $1,962,095.
Summary of Request:
In 2013, the County initiated the Request for Proposal (RFP) for replacement of the county-wide property tax software system. The system was obsolete and represented a significant risk of catastrophic failure. In June 2015, the Board approved the agreement for the acquisition of county-wide property tax system in the amount of $1,701,429. Project implementation was postponed due to many factors including delays with County of Riverside’s implementation.
The County-Wide Property Tax Software System initial Go-Live was implemented in February 2021 and the project team continued with post go-live activities. Information Technology has been assisting the stakeholders and vendor in resolving discrepancies resulting from the initial data conversion that caused balancing issues that have prevented some of the standard processes from functioning correctly. In 2021, the County re-negotiated the Aumentum agreement to include a large final acceptance payment. Thirty-four items were originally identified as requiring closure on the final acceptance list. This includes important items such as conversation balancing, AB8/RDA factors, and Supplementals, Corrections, and Escapes.
On January 24, 2023, the Board of supervisor approved Letter of Authorization (LOA) 203 for additional professional consulting services hours to work through challenges associated with configuration assistance, process and tools support, production data entry, and system optimization. On March 12, 2024 a retroactive amendment was approved, amending LOA 203 and authorizing billing rate changes effective January 25, 2024, through December 31, 2024. Ongoing maintenance terms were defined in the master agreement and subsequent amendments. On July 23, 2024, an amendment was approved for the increase of $748,971 for ongoing maintenance of the property tax software system and extending the term through January 2026. An agreement increase of $60,050 is recommended for Letter of Authorization (LOA) 205 for additional professional consulting services that will support ongoing initiatives in the Auditor’s Office, the Assessor’s Office, and the Tax Collector’s Office.
