RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a contract including modified indemnification language with Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $150,000 to provide Integrated Database Management System support services as needed by the Department of Information Technology, for the period October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately $150,000 as budgeted under Fiscal Year 2016/2017, Org 1060, and billed to clients via user fees.

BACKGROUND:

The County uses CA Technologies Integrated Database Management System (CA IDMS) for its mainframe servers. During the term of this contract, Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc., will work with County employees, under the direction of the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Information Technology, to provide (on an as-needed basis) IDMS support services including, without limitation, analysis, performance tuning, upgrade review and monitoring.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The contract includes provisions requiring the contractor to indemnify the County for any claims for infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights to the extent the infringement claims are based on Contractor's performance of support services under the contract.

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin 605.3, service contracts exceeding $100,000 require the approval of the Board of Supervisors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Mainframe production job processing can impact the Courts Systems, Law and Justice Systems, Property and Tax System. The County's business productivity could be negatively impacted if the Mainframe malfunctioned and we were unable to correct the issue; the implications could be severe.
