IV. BACKGROUND
The City entered into a contract with Sports Officials for You, LLC to provide on-call sports officiating services for the Youth Sports program. Though the agreement was executed in December 4, 2018, services did not commence until April 2019, which resulted in the exclusion of the 2018-2019 basketball season. Contract implementation was delayed due to the required certificate of insurance and issues concerning sports officials Live Scan responsibilities. The requested 180-day extension would allow the vendor to continue providing sports officiating services through the 2019-2020 basketball season, which commences on December 14, 2019, and is expected to end on March 14, 2020. In the near future, the Division intends to commence a Request for Proposals (RFP) process with the intent to enter into a three-year contract with a vendor to provide this service for both the Youth and Adult Sports programs.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
This is a Budget neutral item as funds for this service were included in the FY 2019/20 Adopted Budget Account No. 101-90-950-701-6004 and no additional funds are being requested.
