z <br />outlined in the letter, MAXIMUS currently prepares these plans for over 100 units of government <br />in the State of North Carolina. Orange County staff are not aware of any complaints lodged <br />against this firm related to the preparation of cast allocation plans in the State of North Carolina <br />and have been highly satisfied with work produced by MAXIMUS over the years. <br />In light of general concerns about ensuring that the County does business only with vendors <br />with demonstrated high ethical standards, staff will explore options to enhance the level of <br />reference checking that is performed regarding recommended contractors, particularly for those <br />with whom the County has had little or no previous dealings. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the contract for the 2004 Cost Allocation Plan is $9,200, the <br />same as last year. Funds to pay for the current year contract are budgeted in the Central <br />Services departmental appropriation. General fund revenues from the State and Federal <br />governments and internal charge backs resulting from the Cost Allocation Plan have been in <br />excess of $700,000 annually over the past several years. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the contract with <br />MAXIMUS, subject to final review by staff and the Gounty Attorney, and authorize the Chair to <br />sign it. <br />
