RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian, or designee, to execute a contract with Comprise Technologies, Inc., including modified indemnification, in an amount not to exceed $33,000 to provide equipment and software to replace the Library's cash register system, for the period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Library Fund.
BACKGROUND:
This agreement is to purchase software and equipment to replace Library's cash register system. An RFP was utilized to find a vendor, and Comprise Technologies, Inc. (CTI), was selected. The Library’s current cash registers and polling program software were purchased in 2005. The current software is not integrated with the Library’s Integrated Library System (ILS) "TLC/CARL X" software, and requires a two-step process to reconcile that, in many cases leads, to discrepancies between the two systems. CTI will provide a fully integrated solution that has cash register functionality along with concurrent access and operability with TLC/CARL X software, and will provide a single entry point for collections on both patron record and Cash Receipt Journal Data.
