Background:
On May 6, 2003 Ventura County approved a contract for technology advisory services with Gartner, Inc. This contract provided the County of Ventura, as a member of the California County Information Systems Director's Association (CCISDA) consortium for technology services, with a reduced rate for Gartner's products and services due to the high volume purchase nature of the agreement. In order to receive this reduced rate, Gartner asked that one of the CCISDA consortium members administer a centralized purchase order with them for the benefit of all consortium members. Due to its ISF (Internal Service Fund) billing capabilities, the Ventura County Information Systems Department (ISD) assumed that role.
Gartner, Inc. delivers the technology-related insight necessary for their clients to make the right decisions, every day. Gartner serves 10,000 organizations, including chief information officers and other senior IT executives in corporations and government agencies, as well as technology companies and the investment community. This agreement will give the El Dorado County Information Technologies personnel access to all of Gartner's core research.
Reason for Recommendation:
El Dorado County Board Policy C-1 requires that "Contracts between the County of El Dorado and other counties may be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for execution prior to or subsequent to execution by another county."
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) Board Clerk will forward one original Enrollment Form to I.T. to forward with letter to proceed.
2) Procurements and Contracts shall create a purchase order to facilitate payment for this service.
