Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Section 2054.1184 of the Government Code to require state agencies to perform an Execution Capability Readiness Scoring for major information resources projects. A state agency proposing to spend appropriated funds for a major information resources project would first have to use a proven and industry-established automated tool that collects certain data and that calculates the overall execution capability to successfully implement the project.
Methodology
The Department of Information Resources reviewed Deliverables-Based Information Technology Services (DBITS) Contracts Statement of Work (SOW). Based on the Quality Assurance Team's current projects and DBITS SOWs that were executed in the information technology Assessments and Planning category, this assessment would apply to approximately 25 projects each year for an average project cost of $44,750 and a yearly cost of $1,118,750 million.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
