Body

DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION

Chief Administrative Office, Procurement and Contracts Division, recommending the Board authorize the Purchasing Agent to extend Blanket Purchase Order No. 20141108 with LexisNexis to provide electronic library services, extending the term by six (6) months through December 31, 2017 and increasing the total not to exceed amount by $20,000 for a total not to exceed amount of $139,061.

 

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

The County piggybacks on the State of California Department of General Services Contract No. 5-11-99-03 to utilize electronic library services currently used by Revenue Recovery, Treasurer/Tax Collector, Health and Human Services (HHSA), the Sheriff, and Probation. LexisNexis provides a "one-stop shop" to a variety of content accessed by departments which ranges from legal, to financial, to in-depth public records. Departments rely on these critical, accurate, and real time content searches which have been available via the State's on-going relationship with LexisNexis.

 

The only changes to the current Blanket Purchase Order are the term extension by the State, and the necessary increase to the not to exceed amount of the Blanket Purchase Order. 

ALTERNATIVES

Departments could pay for several different services individually to cover all the content provided by LexisNexis; however, this approach could cost more in the long run.
