Discussion Agenda 

Item 3 - Extension of the Duncan Solutions Contract

This item would approve extending the City’s contract with Professional Account Management dba Duncan Solutions for parking citation processing and related services beyond the current 5-year term. 

In March 2021, the City issued RFP #10089804-21-S for a Parking Citation Processing Solution which included an initial term of 5 years and 5 one-year options to extend the contract, for a total contract term of up to 10 years. 

The initial five-year term is set to expire November 9, 2026. Staff is requesting approval to execute up to five one-year options and to increase the total contract not-to-exceed amount by $3,255,747 to $6,041,814.

This item would approve a contract with B2Gnow (RFP 10090221-25-V) for Contract and Labor Compliance Software to support the City’s labor and contract compliance programs within the Office of the City Treasurer and the Purchasing and Contracting Department. 

The scope of services includes electronic certified payroll submission and review; contractor and subcontractor payment and participation tracking; Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) certification application portal; certification and utilization monitoring; compliance monitoring and audit tracking capabilities; reporting and dashboard capabilities; and secure document management.  

Item 5 - Authorization for City of San Diego Fiscal Year 2027 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes

This item requests that the Budget & Government Efficiency Committee forward to the City Council, for consideration and approval, the authorization to issue short-term Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (“TRANs”), to address the projected seasonal cash flow deficit of the City’s General Fund in Fiscal Year 2027 (“FY 2027 TRANs”). 

The size of the FY 2027 TRANs issuance will be determined based on the Fiscal Year 2027 Adopted Budget; however, current estimates assume a need of approximately $300 million.
