RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and the Clerk of the Council to
execute an amended agreement with Unisys Corporation to renew the
software licensing for a period of three years for a total amount not to
exceed $212,000.
DISCUSSION
For the past 25 years, the City has been using Unisys mainframe computer
equipment as the operating platform for the City's financial systems.
Unisys is the sole-source provider of essential system software for this
key equipment. An amendment is needed to adjust the scope and the term of
the agreement to include a renewal of the software licensing and payment
terms. A three-year term will provide the City with the lowest possible
cost per year for these software licenses.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Finance & Management Services, Communication
Services, Other Contractual Services account (account no. 102-171-6291).
