Personal Service Agreement
with Brandt Lausen - Computer
Specialist
Randolph B. Rosencrantz _
Assistant City Manager
(1)
It is recommended that the attached
resolution be passed by the City Com-
mission authorizing the City Manager
to enter into a Personal Service Con-
tract with Brandt Laursen to provide
"Systems Performance Review" services
at a cost not to exceed $35,000.00.
The Task 1 report provided by Booz, Allen and Hamilton re-
commends that this consultant be assigned to the task of
"Systems Performance Review" and has specified a number
of precise tasks to be accomplished. "Systems Performance
Review" essentially requires reviewing the internal opera-
tion of the Burroughs 6800 computer to ascertain that the
most effective and efficient use is being made of existing
configuration. This is a very technical endeavor involving
extensive knowledge of Burroughs equipment and systems.
The individual with whom we propose to contract has this
knowledge and is very familiar with the City's configuration
and systems. Money to pay for this consultant is included
in the budget for the Department of Computers 81-82.
