Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
Funding for this upgrade fee is included in Information Technologies FY 06/07 Budget.
Background:
Since 1992 Information Technologies has employed software products, under perpetual license and maintenance agreements, from Levi Ray & Shoup, Inc. to enable direct printing from the mainframe to any network printer.
Reason for Recommendation:
It is common practice in the third party software industry to base the pricing of software on the size and type of CPU on which the software is installed and used. Our agreement with Levi, Ray & Shoup, Inc. was based on an IBM 7060 H-30 model. This CPU was replaced in April, 2007 with an IBM 2096-F01 (z9) model. It is necessary to amend the contract to reflect this, and to pay a one-time upgrade fee for software licenses covered under this agreement.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Chairperson shall sign two originals of Amendment III to Agreement # C23-005.
2. Board Clerk shall forward one Original Amendment III to Agreement # C23-005 to Information Technologies.
3. Procurements and Contracts shall increase BP230861 to include the $9,799.00 amount.
4. Information Technologies to forward one original copy of Amendment III to Agreement #C23-005 to Levi, Ray & Shoup, with letter to proceed.
5. Information Technologies shall process the upgrade fee invoice for payment.
