| Request/Subject |
| Authorization to extend Polsinelli contract for Civil Contempt Defense Services, increase contract amount, and incorporate name change. |
| Background Information |
| On April 17, 2013, Gila County entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Polsinelli Shughart P.C., for Polsinelli Shughart P.C. to provide Civil Contempt Defense Services for Gila County. On November 1, 2013, Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with Polsinelli Shughart P.C. was executed to extend the contract term from July 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013, and to increase the original contract amount by $35,900, from $14,000 to $49,900. |
| Evaluation |
| The Professional Services Agreement with Polsinelli Shughart expired on December 31, 2013. Gila County is in need of the Civil Contempt Defense Services provided by this contract beyond the December 31, 2013, expiration date. Amendment No. 2 will serve to extend the contract term through September 30, 2014; and increase the contract amount by $50,100, for a new total contract amount of $100,000. Additionally, as of April 23, 2013, Polsinelli Shughart P.C., changed their name to Polsinelli, P.C. Amendment No. 2 will allow for the name change to be incorporated within the contract documents. |
| Conclusion |
| Gila County has incurred debt from Polsinelli beyond the amended contract amount of $49,900. Amendment No. 2 will allow for a contract increase of $50,100 to cover the current invoices from Polsinelli and to provide funds available for any potential invoices to be incurred. Further, Amendment No. 2 will extend the contract term through September 30, 2014, and allow for the name change from Polsinelli Shughart P.C. to Polsinelli, P.C. to be incorporated into the contract documents. |
| Recommendation |
| The County Attorney's Office recommends approving Amendment No. 2 to Professional Services Agreement with Polsinelli Shughart P.C. to extend the contract date through September 30, 2014; increase the contract amount by $50,100 to a new total contract amount of $100,000; and incorporate the name change from Polsinelli Shughart P.C. to Polsinelli, P.C. within the contract documents. |
| Suggested Motion |
| Information/Discussion/Action to approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Polsinelli Shughart P.C. to extend the contract term through September 30, 2014; increase the contract amount from $49,900 to $100,000; and incorporate the name change from Polsinelli Shughart P.C. to Polsinelli, P.C. within the contract documents.
