RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Direct Systems Support, in the amount of $107,588, for maintenance and upgrades on IBM servers and related equipment software, for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

The software maintenance, if renewed under current IBM software maintenance Purchase Order, would be $111,812. Direct Systems Support has offered the same maintenance with IBM for $107,588. We will save $4,300. this year alone if Contra Costa Health Services renew with Direct Systems Support.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Purchase Order is not approved the software would not be covered on a maintenance contract and when an incident occurs, IBM will not support Contra Costa Health Services. This may cause extended downtimes impacting healthcare operations.
