RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with R-Computer, in the amount of $113,000 for maintenance and upgrades on IBM servers and related equipment software, for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Funding is included in the Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Department has had IBM Lotus Notes support since 2000 and would like to continue support for its email systems. R-Computer has provided this renewal in the past and the Department would like to continue using them. R-Computer will provide the Department the renewal licenses that provide support for seven Lotus Notes email servers that run Lotus software for over 3000 email accounts, Sametime instant messaging, and other support applications that run on these servers.

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 us. This may cause extended downtimes impacting healthcare operations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
