Approve retroactive Agreement with Binti, Inc. in the amount of $18,540 to provide foster parent application, tracking and monitoring web-based electronic software for Family and Children's Services, effective January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021; authorize Health and Human Services Agency Assistant Director to sign any future amendments to the Agreement that do not exceed the annual maximum amount; and authorize Chair to sign same.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Binti, Inc. provides web-based electronic software necessary for the Family and Children's Services Resource Family Approval Unit to accept electronic applications from persons interested in becoming Resource (Foster) Parents, track a multitude of state mandated documents and training requirements for each Resource Parent applicant, and monitor approved Resource Parents including annual training requirements and re-approval updates.
Due to COVID-19, workload priorities have shifted daily to cover program operations, changing program operational needs and filling in for staffing gaps. This has taken time away from standard review of contracts and has necessitated additional time in contract preparation. This process necessitated a retroactive Agreement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
