RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute (1) a Purchase Order with R-Computer, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $116,742 for IBM Lotus Notes Licenses and Support, and (2) IBM Customer Agreement for the period from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department has used IBM Lotus Notes for over 15 years for email communications. This is an annual renewal of the IBM Lotus Notes email user licenses and support. R-Computer, Inc. is the local IBM reseller of Lotus Notes licenses and application support.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, the email system will not be covered under maintenance which will terminate support from IBM. The Health Services Department would not be able to provide proper troubleshooting, upgrades, and assistance for its users.
