Explanation
This ordinance authorizes modifying and extending purchase orders PO231970 and PO336928 to allow for the continuation and completion of the Department of Public Utilities’ PragmaCad system upgrade. There are no additional funds associated with these extensions. Rather, these extensions will ensure access to the balance of funds on both purchase orders through the conclusion of the aforementioned project. These extensions are necessary due to project delays (attributable, in part, to the Covid pandemic). Purchase order PO231970 was originally authorized by Ordinance 1164-2020, which passed on June 15, 2020. This purchase order was subsequently extended by Ordinance 2130-2021, which passed on November 1, 2021, and again by Ordinance 2759-2022, which passed on October 24, 2022. Purchase order PO336928 was established by Ordinance 1466-2022, which passed on June 13, 2022. This purchase order was also extended by Ordinance 2759-2022.
All parties involved with this project (DPU, DoT and CGI) have agreed to extending purchase orders PO231970 and PO336928 through the conclusion of the above-described system upgrade.
