Investment Detail
OPE does not have the capability to collect the data, analyze it, and write the report with current staffing. With that being said, although the contractor was not the first choice, the Department saves $163K by continuing with the incumbent vendor rather than to incur the cost of data transfer and compensating for the learning curve to get a new vendor up to speed before data collection.
