Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to extend a contract for the Office of Construction Management with Physical Planning Technologies, Ltd. for server hosting and annual software support and updating for a Comprehensive Municipal Capital Planning and Asset Management System. The original contract for Physical Planning Technologies, Ltd. (PPT), was authorized in the amount of $497,113 by Ordinance No. 0603-2005, passed July 20, 2005. At that time, formal proposals were solicited in the City Bulletin.
The vendor has provided a software application for a Capital Planning Management System, as well as training and software. It has been modified four times, the last of which was authorized by Ordinance No. 1249-2008, passed July 8, 2008, in the amount of $50,400. These modifications provided for server hosting and software support, respectively. The modification authorized by this ordinance will extend the server hosting and software support for an additional year (9/1/2009 to 8/31/2010). It will be impractical to bid these services, as no other company can provide server hosting and software support for Capital Planning Solutions products.
Fiscal Impact: The amount of this budgeted modification is $50,400.00. The contract was originally authorized by Ordinance No. 0603-2005 and last modified by Ordinance No. 1249-2008 ($50,400.). Upon passage of this ordinance, the total four-year cost of this contract will be $706,383.
