Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with GTS Technology Solutions, Inc., through the
Department of Information Resources (DIR) Cooperative Purchasing Network Contract No. DIR-CPO-
4526, for Information Technology (IT) Staff Augmentation Services for the Technology Services

year extensions, in the total five (5) year not-to-exceed amount of $2,200,000.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Technology Services Department (TS) is seeking to extend IT temporary staffing services with GTS
Technology Solutions, Inc. The City has utilized GTS for IT temporary labor through the current contract
that was approved by Council on October 25, 2021 (Ordinance 21-2268). Due to difficulties in filling
existing vacant IT positions, the City has nearly exhausted the amended not-to-exceed total contract amount
of $519,120. The use of these services is important to maintain smooth technology service delivery for the
other City departments.
The DIR contract has 71 different IT positions, across 11 functional areas including help desk, and
application support. For each position, the contract provides different levels of experience and skills at
various prices. TS staff, through a process of elimination, selected GTS Technology Solutions out of the
161 vendors that are registered with DIR to provide labor services under this contract.
