contractor licensing records and process payments for permit, impant and contractor licensing fees. Contract
number C03-02-208 with Municipal Services Corporation expired an February 21, 2005. The Schedule "A"
maintenance agreement is mandatory and is renewed annually. The current agreement expired February 28,
2010. Municipal Services Corpnration has issued a 60 day temporary license key to allow time to process the
amended Schedule "A". The Board has approved the amended Schedule "A" for license renewal on an annual
basis. St. Lucie County may terminate this agreement by giving not Tess than 60 days written notice to Municipal
Service Corporation prior to the anniversary data of this agreement. However, implementation of a new software
system may be cost prohibitive.

licenses in 2009. Municipal Services Corporation agreed to suspend twenty licenses for one year and reduce the
annual software maintenance fee to $28,240 with an agreement that the twenty suspended licenses would be
restored in 2010 and the rate would be set at $34,990 plus any applicable increases.
Due to further staff reductions, Municipal Services Cnrpnratinn has agreed to negotiate fnr the actual number of
licenses required prinr to the 2011 renewal as indicated in the amended Schedule "A" attached.

would not be available until FY 2011. Subsequently, the Airport discussed with the FAA and 1=DOT. _
