STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: VENDOR SERVICE APPROVAL FOR TECHNOLOGY SERVICE
SUBMITTED BY: DOUG VAN GELDER, INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGER
DATE: MARCH 24, 2005
CONTENTS: VENDOR LIST
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, approve the use of vendors on the attached list for
technology services.
Discussion:
Updating computer software and maintenance support is essential to maintaining quality
performance of the City's existing software. If the software were not maintained or
updated, data could be lost, become unreliable or be unusable. Various departments
depend upon services or data provided by the existing equipment and software of the
entities on the vendor list. The current equipment and software is performing as
expected. New software or equipment could be purchased at a greater cost than the
City could spend by updating and maintaining the equipment and software it has now.
The existing software and equipment was acquired through the competitive bidding
process.
The vendors listed provide proprietary technology for their particular type of existing
software or equipment. The Information Systems department requests that these
companies be considered exempt from competitive bidding under the City's purchasing
policies and procedures because of this.
