Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This legislation will authorize the Director of the Department of Technology to modify an existing contract to allow for additional funds, with Emerson Network Power, Liebert Services, Inc., formerly known as Liebert Global Services, for maintenance and support services. The original contract was established by Ordinance No. 1160-2006. This contract allowed for annual maintenance and related services for UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) systems, at two separate locations (location A and location B), and allows for continuous operations when power fluctuations and failures occur. Also, the original contract provided language that allows for modifications and renewals for additional coverage periods at the end of each year's coverage period, contingent upon the express written approval of all parties and the City's appropriation and authorization of funds.

In addition to the original two locations (A and B), and relocating several City staff, it was determined that another location (C) was needed for the Department of Technology. With this location (C) established, it was determined that location A would no longer be utilized by the Department of Technology, and that location C would replace location A. After further review, it has since been determined that the Department of Technology will continue to utilize the UPS system at location A. Therefore, there is a need to continue the maintenance and support associated with location A.

Approval of this ordinance will allow for modifying the existing contract, to accommodate for additional funds in the amount of $12,274.22, with a coverage period from April 19, 2009 to April 18, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT: Ordinance #0241-2009, established funds in the amount of $45,947.67 for maintenance and support services, for UPS systems, with Emerson Network Power, Liebert Services, Inc., for locations B and C. During fiscal years 2007 and 2008, the amounts of $31,216.10 and $32,777.00, r...
