Title
Contract Amendment for Cox & Company
Body
Date of BOCC Meeting: February 12, 2018
Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve an amendment to the contract with Cox & Company. The amendment is to extend the services from the 2017/2018 fiscal year in an amount not to exceed $135,000.00.
Cox & Company is the developer and provider for the Durham County Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA), Tax Billing and Collection systems. Cox & Company will provide maintenance and support for the One/Tax software. One/Tax is a fully integrated, multi-year system for County Government Tax Departments in North Carolina. The amended request is for an additional module to the software known as CAPS Application Software. The module will allow for a field application for appraisers to complete field work in the field versus the need for additional resources for keying the field work in the office. The application will be used for the 2019 General Reappraisal (Revaluation).
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Goal 5, Accountable, Efficient, Visionary Government. Having one software vendor providing this full scope of services from valuation to collections provides the greatest coverage of needs with the least integration issues.
Resource Persons: Kimberly H. Simpson, Tax Administrator
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board approve an amendment to a contract with Cox & Company through fiscal year 2017/2018 in an amount not to exceed $135,000.00.
