RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a contract amendment, including modified indemnification language, with Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc., to extend the term from September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2021 with no change in the payment limit of $150,000, to provide continued Integrated Database Management System support services as needed by the Department of Information Technology.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No additional fiscal impact, as no increase to the current payment limit is recommended. Approximately $15,000 is budgeted under Fiscal Year 2018/2019, 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 Department of Information Technology staff, 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 was initially executed for a one-year term effective October 1, 2016. A subsequent contract amendment extended the term through September 30, 2018.

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.
