Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology (DoT) to enter into an agreement with Becker Software for annual software maintenance and support for the Facil program used by media services to manage CTV programming and resources. This ordinance will renew support for the period October 18, 2010 to October 17, 2011. The amount of funds needed for the annual maintenance and support agreement is $250.00.

The City of Columbus, Department of Technology entered into an annual support agreement for Facil, associated with ED011649, provided by Becker Software, in July 2003 in the amount of $250.00. The agreement was renewed in 2004 (ED017491), 2005 (ED023681) and 2006 (ED028950) all in the amount of $250.00.


This ordinance also requests approval to continue services provided by Becker Software in accordance with sole source procurement provisions of Section 329 of the Columbus City Code; as it has been determined Becker Software is the sole distributor of Facil, and does not utilize distributors or resellers to provide maintenance and support for its software products.


FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the 2010 Information Services Fund budget to pay for the annual software maintenance and support services for the Facil software and cover the time period October 18, 2010 through October 17, 2011. The current contract aggregate total, through this and prior renewals, is $1,000.00.
