STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF FUNDS FOR ANNUAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE
MAINTENANCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $56,971.26
SUBMITTED BY: CLAYTON VON HELF, INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 23, 2011
CONTENTS: INVOICE #35340 FROM SUNGARD PUBLIC SECTOR
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, approve payment to SunGard Public Sector in the
amount of $56,971.26 to provide computer software maintenance for one
year. Funds are available in Account No. 110-4190-415-3360.
Background
Nineteen years ago the City of Palm Desert signed a contract with SunGard HTE, now
known as SunGard Public Sector, to provide software for processing building permits,
code enforcement, business license, purchasing, payroll, and accounting. Annual
maintenance provides the City with all upgrades, fixes, and technical support needed to
stay current and maintain the software. The City is currently in negotiations with
SunGard for an upgrade to their new product called ONESolution. The maintenance
fees paid by this invoice will be credited to the new product.
The City did not go out to bid on this item. This ongoing contract is proprietary so there
is not an opportunity for vendors to bid on SunGard's software.
Staff recommends that Council approve payment of the annual maintenance agreement
in the amount of $56,971.26 for the period of 6/01/11 through 5/31/12 (Fiscal Year 11-
12).
