BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology to renew and modify an agreement with SecureWorks, Inc., for managed technology security services. The original agreement (EL011963) was authorized by ordinance 0818-2011, passed June 13, 2011. The agreement was most recently renewed and modified by authority of ordinance 1192-2013, passed July 1, 2013, through purchase orders EL014687 and EL014754. This renewal will provide service for the period August 26, 2014 through August 25, 2015, at a cost of $177,865.83.

· $67,520.00 for web application security testing, also needed to assist the City with PCI compliance. This will also provide service for up to one year from the date of a certified purchase order.
