PITKIN COUNTY
SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT
JUSTIFICATION REQUEST TO: Jon Peacock, County Manager
DATE: June 12, 2024 FROM: Levi Borst, Management Analyst Proposed Contractor: Triangle Advising Group
Product/Service: EDI Implementation Support Part 3 Estimate expenditure for the above Product/Service: $ 73,400.00
This form is required, and is to aid you, in documenting your Sole Source request. Complete all portions of this form. This purchase is clearly and legitimately limited to a Single or Sole Source. (Examples: original
manufacturer, no regional distributor, standardization etc): Explain:
In 2022, Pitkin County conducted an internal assessment focused on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI)
to identify organizational successes worth celebrating, and opportunites for improvement. This led to Staff
proposed, Board approved, budgetary expenditures to continue the exploration and development of Pitkin
County's EDI efforts.
The initial project was put out for bid, following Pitkin County's RFP guidelines. The contract was
awarded to the consulting firm MGT, who began work on the 'Pitkin County EDI Action Plan.' One of the
firm's principal consultants was Dr. Lamont W. Browne, who served as the main point of contact and
chief advisor working closely with County Staff over the next year and a half through the end of the
contract period. Dr. Browne has since amicably parted ways with MGT, creating his own firm: Triangle
Consulting Group.
The proposed 'Implementation Support Plan Part 3' from Traingle Advising Group relies heavily on the
professional work product developed for Pitkin County, specifically by Dr. Browne. Additionally,
program successes and progress realized to this point have been due, in large part, to Dr. Browne's
development of program credibility and personal relationships with all levels of County Staff.
The use of a different contractor for the proposed scope would require considerable background work
which would likely lead to much of the existing material being adapted or re-created. It would also require

contractor/project credibility to be reestablished with staff. This scenario would create cost increases and
time delays in the implementation of the proposed scope; threatening to derail the project.
The proposal submitted by Triangle Consulting Group has been heavily vetted by County Staff. It has
been found to be reasonable and prudent in terms of cost and deliverables. It is without doubt the most
valuable use of the County's time and money to sole-source this project with Dr. Lamont Browne and
Triangle Consulting Group.

The undersigned requests that Pitkin County waive other procurement requirements and recognize this
transaction as a sole source exception to the Pitkin County Procurement Code. Department Head Section Head

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, Pitkin County (we, us or Pitkin County) may be required by law to provide
you with certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically when we send you documents for
electronic signature.
Acknowledging your Access, Intent, and Consent to Receive and Sign Materials
Electronically
To confirm that you can access this information electronically, which will be similar to other
electronic notices and disclosures that we will provide to you, please verify that you were able to
read this electronic disclosure and that you also were able to print on paper or electronically save
this page for your future reference and access or that you were able to e-mail this disclosure and
consent to an address where you will be able to print on paper or save it for your future reference
and access. Further, if you consent to receive notices and disclosures exclusively in electronic
format on the terms and conditions described above, please let us know by clicking the 'I agree'
button below.
By checking the 'I Agree' box, I confirm that:
I am establishing my intent to be bound to the transaction, and indicating that I am fully
aware of the purpose for which the signature is being provided.
I can access and read this Electronic CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURES document; and
I can print on paper the disclosure or save or send the disclosure to a place where I can
print it, for future reference and access; and
Until or unless I notify Pitkin County as described above, I consent to receive from
exclusively through electronic means all notices, disclosures, authorizations,
acknowledgments, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to me by Pitkin County during the course of my relationship with you.
Signing Documents without a Pitkin County DocuSign Account:
Pitkin County may not require all document signers to be authorized users of the Pitkin County
DocuSign Account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and
conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this
document. When you don't have a DocuSign account, you will be provided the opportunity to
agree to the Legal Disclosure each time you open an "envelope" for signing, at this time, you can
download and retain this disclosure. Pitkin County will forward completed documents that
you've reviewed, processed or signed via email. Should you require copies of these signed
documents (e.g., if they get deleted from your email account) you should request those
documents from Pitkin County under the Colorado Open Records Act by contacting the Pitkin
County custodian who sent you the document for signature.
Signing Documents with a Pitkin County DocuSign Account:
Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure created on: 3/20/2020 3:28:13 PM
Parties agreed to: Ashley Perl, Dr. Lamont W. Browne, Levi Borst
Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this
information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please
confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of this document.
Getting paper or electronic copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper or electronic copy of any record provided or made
available electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of
the DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to
you through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper or
electronic copies of any such documents from our office to you, you may be charged a per-page
fee. You may request delivery of such paper or electronic copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you are an authorized DocuSign Account holder, you can decide to receive notices and
disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that
thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. Described
below is the process for informing us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in
paper format and also how to withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign
electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgments, and other documents that are required to be provided or made
available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
How to contact Pitkin County:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically,
to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to
receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows:

address .
In addition, you must notify DocuSign, Inc to arrange for your new email address to be reflected
in your DocuSign account by following the process for changing e-mail in DocuSign.
To request paper or electronic copies from Pitkin County
To request delivery from us of paper or electronic copies of the notices and disclosures
previously provided by us to you electronically, you should request those documents from Pitkin
County under the Colorado Open Records Act by contacting the Pitkin County custodian who
