Explanation
Ordinance 1007-09, passed on 07/20/09, authorized the City Attorney to accept the Witness Assistance Program Database and Domestic Violence Advocate grant. Under this grant the new Domestic Violence/Prosecution Resources Unit database (DV/PRU) was developed by Sophisticated Systems, Inc., authorized by Ordinance 1013-09, passed on 07/27/10.
The DV/PRU database combines data previously contained in three separate databases, the Witness Assistance Program, Intake and Stalking databases. These three databases were developed over 10 years ago for the City Attorney's Office by Intellinetics, Inc. The imaging management software used was Intellivue. Intellivue is a proprietary software created and owned by Intellinetics, Inc.
The second phase of implementing the DV/PRU database is to migrate data and images from the existing databases. In order to effect this transfer it is necessary for the City Attorney's Office to enter into a contract for said service with Intellinetics Inc. as a sole source provider for Intellivue software.
The cost associated with these services is based on negotiations with Intellinetics, Inc. to ensure the best pricing for the City of Columbus.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding will come from the Witness Assistance Program Database and Domestic Violence Advocate Grant funds.
Emergency Designation:
There is a time issue involved as this grant is currently scheduled to end on 09/30/10. An extension until 12/31/10 has been requested but approval has not yet been received. This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency to allow for the timely commencement and completion of the services within the grant period.
