Explanation
This ordinance will authorize the Director of the Department of Technology to enter into contract with Oracle Corporation, for software maintenance support and upgrades associated with software that supports business management applications utilized citywide; such as 311, WASIMS, Performance Series, Income Tax, GIS and various other applications. The software is server based and has given the city the capability to web enable applications for citizens' use and ensure compliance with licensing agreements. However, the original contract was established April 10, 1998 pursuant to sole source provisions of Section 329 of the Columbus City Code.
This ordinance requests the repeal of ordinance number 0902-2007 due to incorrect language referencing "to modify and extend contract CT-19292".
Also, this ordinance will provide for the change of Oracle Corporation's company Federal Identification (FID) number for contracts and purchase orders currently in process and established with Oracle Corporation. This ordinance will authorize the assignment of all past, present and future business done by the City of Columbus with Oracle Corporation from FID# 94-2871189 to FID# 84-1332677; with the contract compliance expiring on 05/07/2009.
The passage of this ordinance will allow the Department of Technology to continue receiving software upgrades and support, improving the application and database performance. This contract covers a twelve month period through May 30, 2008.
As there is an immediate need for the Department of Technology to continue services with Oracle, this ordinance requests approval to continue services provided by Oracle in accordance with sole source provisions, of Section 329 of the Columbus City Code; as it has been determined that Oracle software can be purchased from third party vendors, however, only Oracle can supply network license, maintenance and support.
