FR: Judy A. Griego, Director, Human Services
RE: Weld County Department of Human Services' Amendment to
IGA with Colorado Department of Human Services
Please review and indicate if you would like a work session prior to placing this item on the Board's agenda.
Request Board Approval to Amend Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Colorado Department
of Human Services, (CDHS). This amendment will allow CDHS to sign a statewide agreement on behalf of
the county with Talx Corporation, a provider of Equifax Verification Services (EVS) for the Work Number.
The Colorado Department of Human Services fully executed an agreement with Talx Corporation in October
2016, (Tyler number 2016-2611) to offer statewide access to the Work Number, the largest proprietary database
of up-to-date employment and income data.
The Work Number is used by Assistance Payments, Child Support, Family Resources and Employment
Services to verify income resulting in more efficient eligibility determination, fraud prevention and work
activity participation. The counties and CDHS have negotiated an amendment to the original agreement,
effective March 1, 2018, through February 28, 2019. The amendment establishes a minimum amount each
county would have to pay, in the event the statewide minimum is not met. The total amount counties, are liable
for is $1,317,750.00, of which Weld County's portion is $143,470.03. The amendment would replace Exhibit A
of the original agreement with Exhibit A-1.
I do not recommend a Work Session. I recommend approval of this Amendment.

Exhibit A-1 — Statement of Work
A. Background
For purposes of this Exhibit A, Contractor may also be referred to as "County." The State has entered into a
contract ("Universal Membership Agreement")(State contract routing number 16 IHEA 83111)(Exhibit B) with
TALX Corporation, a provider of Equifax Verification Services ("EVS") and intends to execute an amendment
("Schedule A")(State contract routing number 16 IHEA 87603)(Exhibit C) to the Universal Membership
Agreement (collectively "Work Number Agreement"). The Work Number Agreement allows EVS to provide
employment verification services directly to Colorado counties. The State acts only as a pass -through entity,
meaning that EVS will bill the State for fees incurred by the counties, and the State will then bill the counties
individually.
The Work Number Agreement is between the State and EVS with participating counties each signing
Participation Agreements (see Exhibit 1 to Universal Membership Agreement). The Work Number Agreement
obligates the counties collectively and Contractor individually to pay EVS via the State for services rendered so
the State and County are entering into this Contract to memorialize the State's and County's responsibilities as
they relate to the Work Number Agreement.
B. Payment
County shall pay the State for County's use of services within the scope of the Work Number Agreement. The
State shall promptly pass through County's payments to EVS in accordance with the Work Number Agreement.
Except within its role as a pass through entity, the State is not liable for County's obligations incurred under this
Contract or the Work Number Agreement. The State shall provide each County an invoice at least 30 days prior
to the date the payment is due to EVS. The State shall ensure that any payment to the State is paid over to EVS
prior to the date that payment is due to EVS.
C. Annual Minimum
The Work Number Agreement by the terms of the Schedule A obligates each Participating County, through the
State as the pass -through entity, to pay the Participating County's proportionate share of the Annual Minimum
Payment as set forth in this Intergovernmental Agreement and Exhibit l to the Schedule A. The Annual
Minimum Payment is $1,317,750.00 , which is based upon an estimated 225,000 income verification requests at
$5.75 per income verification request, plus a $2,000 per month service fee. County's responsibility for its share
of any deficiency survives termination of this Contract or the Work Number Agreement.
County is responsible for its percentage of the Annual Minimum Payment based upon the following formula:
[County's Minimum Usage] / [Total Participating counties' Previous Usage] = County Percentage
[County Percentage] X [Annual Minimum Payment] + [Admin Feel= County Financial Obligation
IF County's Actual Annual Payment is less than County's Financial Obligation, THEN County is considered a
Deficient County and shall pay any deficiency according to the following formula:
[Annual Minimum Payment] — [Total Actual Annual Payment] = Total Deficiency
[County Financial Obligation] — [County Actual Annual Payment) = County Deficiency
[County Deficiency] / [Total counties' Deficiency] = Deficient County Percentage
[Deficient County Percentage[ X [Total Deficiency] = Deficient County Payment to State
This table represents each county's financial obligation:
