| 8 | Florida Statutes, to provide driver license services, in whole |
| 9 | or in part, they function as such an outsourced external service |
| 10 | provider. The department shall conduct this study with the |
| 11 | active participation of three tax collectors appointed by the |
| 12 | department, one from a county having a population of less than |
| 13 | 50,000, one from a county having a population of more than |
| 14 | 50,000 and less than 400,000, and one from a county having a |
| 15 | population of 400,000 or greater. As part of its study, the |
| 16 | department shall provide a description of the services to be |
| 17 | outsourced. Types of issues for the department to consider must |
| 18 | include, but need not be limited to: |
| 19 | (a) A detailed description of the service to be outsourced |
| 20 | and a description and analysis of the department's current |
| 21 | performance of the service. |
| 22 | (b) A cost-benefit analysis describing the estimated |
| 23 | specific direct and indirect costs or savings; performance |
| 24 | improvements, including reduced wait times at driver license |
| 25 | offices; risks; and qualitative and quantitative benefits |
| 26 | involved in or resulting from outsourcing the service. The cost- |
| 27 | benefit analysis must include a detailed plan and timeline |
| 28 | identifying all actions that must be implemented to realize the |
| 29 | expected benefits. The current performance of the department |
| 30 | should include the service by the department through its offices |
| 31 | and the service provided by its existing outsourced contract tax |
| 32 | collectors through their offices. The cost-benefit study shall |
| 33 | also account for the additional responsibilities and work |
| 34 | functions added to the department and to its outsourced agents |
| 35 | and the tax collectors since the submission of the cost |
| 36 | determination and allocation task force report on January 1, |
| 37 | 2002. |
