Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Technology (DoT), on behalf of Recreation and Parks, has the need to immediately modify and extend a annual software maintenance services contract with The Active Network, which was previously known as Class Software Solutions, to support ongoing operations of the Leisure Card System. This system provides ID cards for individuals who participate in City events, automated activity registration, facility rentals and has provided access for citizens to register for activities via the Internet. Also, this system is used for security at City recreation centers and city swimming pools.
This annual software maintenance and support agreement represents 12 months of software maintenance, with a coverage period from March 1, 2006 through February 28, 2007. The modification and extension of this contract will allow Recreation and Parks to take advantage of software upgrades and support. Without this maintenance support contract agreement, software upgrades could only be obtained by purchasing the software at four times the cost of the support contract amount. In addition, user support would be billed at an enormous hourly rate charge. The original contractual agreement for this software maintenance support was established with Ordinance No. 3180-98.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Previously, in fiscal year 2004, $24,419.50 was expended for the maintenance and support services provided by Class Software Solutions. During fiscal year 2005, $20,931.00 was expended for related services. Currently, funding in the amount of $20,931.00 is available in the 2005 Department of Technology information service fund, with a coverage period from March 1, 2006 through February 28, 2007.
