RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to pay an amount not to exceed $240,000 for maintenance and support of County mainframe computer software for the period January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, under the IBM Agreement for Software Maintenance.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of $240,000 is budgeted under Org# 1060, Fiscal Year 2013/14, and charged out to user departments via DoIT's monthly billing process.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County mainframe would not receive necessary maintenance to remain operational.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.

BACKGROUND:

The County, on behalf of the Department of Information Technology, licenses mainframe computer software from IBM, and receives support and maintenance for the software under the IBM International Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance, which provides for annual renewal of support. IBM invoices DoIT on a monthly basis depending on the level of support used by DoIT. The Chief Information Officer needs authority to make payment for mainframe software support under the IBM International Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance in order to pay for support provided by IBM.
