Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Technology, to establish a purchase order with OnX USA LLC, utilizing universal term contract FL004390. The purchase order will enable DoT to purchase software licensing, support, and professional services to implement Hewlett Packard's application performance management solution. The application performance management solution will enable DoT to better support the applications utilized by its department customers to conduct their business. These applications include the Performance financial system, the Columbus Utility Billing System (CUBS), and many others.
The total cost to implement the solution is $240,133.99. This includes the cost of software licensing ($152,054.81), one year of software maintenance and support ($33,891.68), training ($15,937.50), and professional services to install and configure the software ($38,250.00). The annual maintenance and support would be an ongoing cost of the application performance management system. The pricing offered by OnX reflects a 70.5% discount off the list price of the Hewlett Packard software licenses, and a 27.5% discount off the professional services. Both discounts exceed the agreed upon discounts established in the UTC, and will expire January 31, 2012.
