Explanation
BACKGROUND: In 1994, The Department of Public Utilities initiated a contract (CT-15918) for software and services related to water and sewer information management system (WASIMS). The original contract, Section 12, provided for modifications and changes in scope of service. However, the original contract, in fiscal year 2000, was assumed by the Department of Technology along with the maintenance, modifications and services responsibilities provided by Indus Utility Systems, Inc. (Indus); now known as Ventyx, Inc; this name change was previously addressed in ordinance number 0649-2007.

This legislation authorizes the Department of Technology (DoT) on behalf of the Department of Public Utilities to modify an annual renewal contract with Ventyx Inc. This contract will allow the Department of Technology to continue utilizing services, provided by Ventyx Inc. associated with annual maintenance and support, for the Water and Sewer Information Management System (WASIMS); the Advantage, Customer Suite and Service Suite software and other related support services, utilizing the terms and conditions in accordance with the original contract. The coverage period for the services related to this modification is for twelve months commencing October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, in the amount of $240,025.00.

Passage of this ordinance will also allow for services with the same company, provided by the same contract, for maintenance and support associated with the Archive Manager Software module, with a coverage period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, in the amount of $320,776.00.

Also, this legislation request for funding that will allow for maintenance and support, provided by Ventyx, Inc., for the MicroFocus software, which is associated with WASIMS, Advantage Customer Suite and Service Suite; with a coverage period of November 1, 2009 through October 30, 2010 for $2,790.00.
