BACKGROUND
This legislation is to authorize the Director of the Department of Technology (DoT) to establish a software maintenance and support agreement with Lytrod Software, Inc.

Lytrod is the sole source provider of maintenance and support for its software, so this ordinance is being submitted in accordance with the provisions of Sole Source procurement of the City of Columbus Code, Section 329.07.
