RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a premier support services agreement with Microsoft Corp., in an amount not to exceed $299,608 to provide
Microsoft premier support services for the period June 13, 2016 through June 12, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$299,608 (100% User Fees); the entire cost is budgeted in DoIT's Fiscal Year 2016/17 budget and recovered through DoIT's billing process.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology initiates the renewal of the Microsoft Premier Support each year. Premier Support is essential for the ongoing operation of many of the County's desktop computers and servers.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 611.0, County Departments are required to obtain Board approval for single item purchases over $100,000. The County Administrator's Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

This support is a critical component to maintaining the county's workstations and servers. Without it, DoIT may be unable to resolve issues that arise during the course of normal County business.
