Explanation
BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge to contract with Dell Marketing LP (Dell) and authorizes the expenditure of up to $58,142.06 from the Probation User Fee fund for additional SANS storage. This is an addition to an already existing system.
The probation department is working on going paperless but needs to increase the storage capacity for scanning purposes. Going paperless will allow for easier access to files; paper cost savings overtime and free up space as the department grows.
The Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge respectfully asks for a waiver of the competitive bidding requirements of Section 329.06 because the IT department has an existing system and the additions must be compatible.
Dell's contract compliance number is 742616805 and expires on 11/20/12
FISCAL IMPACT: The funds would come from the 2012 Probation User Fee fund.
Emergency legislation is requested to authorize the contract and the expenditure to permit the installation to begin immediately.
