Summary of Request

The State has mandated County reporting of lease assets and liabilities, in compliance with Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Pronouncement 87; and for reporting Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITA) in compliance with GASB-96. The County currently manages debt service payments for thirty districts and has an estimated thirty-fifty GASB-87 qualifying leases. The County currently has many Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements that are subject to similar reporting requirements. The vendor's software product, DebtBook, is a consolidated Debt, Lease and SBITA management software product.  There are achievable cost savings to be realized by utilizing one software solution for these separate, specialized reporting requirements coupled with a multi-year Agreement.

 

Fifth Asset, Inc. d/b/a DebtBook was initially selected after an evaluation was performed by National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA), whereby they solicited a Request for Proposal for Debt and Lease Management Software and Consulting Services in June of 2021.  After evaluating all responses, the NCPA contract was awarded to Fifth Asset, Inc. d/b/a DebtBook in August 2021.

 

Please approve the Amendment with Fifth Asset, Inc. increasing the funding from $41,000 by $66,000 for a new total not to exceed $107,000, extending the timeframe of services through May 16, 2028, and authorize the Board Char to sign same. This Agreement is being placed on calendar as retroactive because the unusual effective dates coupled with the complex internal review and procurement process for this type of agreement/amendment.
