Summary: Cook County is in the process of implementing the Tyler iasWorld Property Tax solution. This is a very large project with significant risk. To manage the risk and help achieve the highest degree of success possible, the County has engaged this vendor to conduct Independent Verification and Validation services for the implementation and oversight of the project and associated engagements as defined in Tyler’s contract for the iasWorld Property Tax solution. Grant Thornton has executed hundreds of complex federal and state government projects.
Grant Thornton’s services are ongoing as the Tyler iasWorld Property Tax solution project is still in production. This amendment seeks to renew this vendor’s contract for twenty-eight months and increase the contract ceiling to account for cost increases. This contract was approved as a Comparable Government Procurement pursuant to Section 34-140of the Cook County Procurement Code. Grant Thornton LLP, was previously awarded a contract by Maricopa County, Arizona through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process and it is contemplated that the Cook County contract would be extended through the duration of the Maricopa County, Arizona contract.
