RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, (1) a purchase order with QlikTech Inc. in an amount not to exceed $451,881 and (2) an order form with QlikTech Inc. for analytics dashboard subscriptions for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will result in expenditures of up to $451,881 over the three-year period between September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The County Health Services Department uses these licenses for the Contra Costa County’s COVID, and internal health quality metrics dashboards. These dashboards have received approximately 11 million views since its implementation. The requested Order Form is governed by an existing agreement from 2016 between QlikTech Inc. and the County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This vendor was competitively procured in 2016, and the department successfully invested the resources and user training needed for the implementation of this software application. The department and users have been satisfied with QlikTech Inc. services, and is therefore requesting to continue with this vendor without having to go out for solicitation. The alternative to continuing the QlikTech Inc. application subscription is more expensive, time-consuming, and user unfriendly. Additionally, switching to another software application would take approximately two years to complete and another year to a year and a half to implement.

This request is retroactive due to extensive negotiations between the County and QlikTech on the terms governing the renewal, which took longer than the anticipated 60-day window for completion.

Approval of the requested purchase order and order form will allow this vendor to continue providing analytics dashboards for the Health Services Department through August 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without these licenses, the COVID and internal health quality metric dashboards will not function.
