Explanation

BACKGROUND:

This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Technology (DoT), on behalf of the Columbus Police Division, to renew an annual software maintenance and support agreement, for the MultiBridge and CTCBridge software applications, with Core Technology Corporation. The Department of Technology requires technical support and software maintenance services, from Core Technology Corporation to support ongoing operations of the City's MultiBridge and CTCBridge software applications, which supports the City's connectivity to the Ohio LEADS system. Without the software maintenance and support services provided by Core Technology Corporation, the City will not be able to utilize these applications.

Also, renewing this agreement will allow the City to continue receiving software upgrades, support and related services for the MultiBridge and CTCBridge software applications. These applications allow for encrypted access to the Ohio LEADS system to enhance productivity and improve performance. This ordinance will provide for payment of the annual software maintenance and support agreement in the amount of $18,671.00, with the coverage period from April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012.

Accordingly, Core Technology Corporation is also the sole source of supply for upgrades, maintenance, support, new releases and additional copies of these products. For this reason, this ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of Sole Source procurement of the City of Columbus Section 329.07.
