Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology to modify and extend a contract, that is renewed annually, established through purchase orders DL000046 (established in the year of 2000) and EL900834 (established in the year of 1999) with the Xerox Corporation, for laser printer maintenance services, effective June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009. The original contract provides language that allows for renewals at the conclusion of the ending term. The services associated with this modification were anticipated at the time of executing the original contracts. The cost of this modification was determined through negotiations with the vendor upon receipt of a quote and researched cost analysis.

Upon the lease expiration for these systems, the Department of Technology exercised the right to purchase both systems. At that time, the two original purchase orders were modified into one contract agreement for the renewal of future maintenance. These systems provide high volume printing support services critical to many city applications such as payroll, wage and tax statements, auditor's warrants, jury summons, income tax forms and water bills.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds established for each original contract were $158,202.54 for EL900834 and $23,410.00 for DL000046. During fiscal year 2006 $98,220.00 was expended and $118,621.00 in 2007 with Xerox for maintenance support services associated with both printers. The total cost of this ordinance is $99,132.12 for the period June 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009, representing the maintenance cost for both printer systems. Funding is budgeted in the 2008 Information Services Division budget, and available ...
