To the Honorable City Council:
I respectfully request that your Honorable City Council approve an extension of up to 12 months to the contract between the City of Somerville and Conduent State and Local Solutions Inc from 10/31/2021 to 10/31/2022.
The purpose of this extension is to allow sufficient time for attempting to address imminently threatened litigation by Conduent State and Local Solutions Inc against the Metropolitan Planning Council/ City of Somerville in connection with a request for proposal dispute challenging the award of the parking payment/parking ticket processing services contact to Passport Labs Inc. The outcome of the dispute will determine if the contract between the City of Somerville and Passport Labs Inc is valid. If not valid, we will need extra time to prepare proposals, evaluate proposals and award a new contract for parking ticket processing services.
My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank your for your consideration of this item.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
