RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, a purchase order with International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for maintenance and support of the County’s mainframe computer for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, under the IBM Agreement for Licensed Programs between the County and IBM.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost is in the Department of Information Technology's (DoIT) budget FY 20/21 budget and will be charged to user departments through the monthly billing system. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

DoIT licenses, on behalf of the County, mainframe computer software from IBM, and receives support and maintenance for the software under the Acquisition for IBM Licensed Programs, and IBM International Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance, which provides for annual renewal of support. IBM invoices DoIT on a monthly basis depending on the level of support used. The Chief Information Officer reviews and authorizes payments for mainframe software support provided under the agreements.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County's mainframe would not receive necessary maintenance to remain operational.
