Explanation

BACKGROUND:

This ordinance is the second of four renewals, (3rd year of a 5 year) contract with Halcyon Solutions, Inc. initially authorized by ordinance 1426-2017 passed on July 10, 2017 establishing PO072480. It authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Technology, to associate all General Budget Reservations resulting from this ordinance with the appropriate State Term Schedule (STS033-534354-51) authorized for the City’s use by Ordinance no. 582-87 with Halcyon Solutions, Inc. to continue licensing support for Tableau software and desktops at a cost of $84,550.00. The term period of this renewal is July 25, 2019 through July 24, 2020. The contract was most recently authorized through Ordinance No. 1240-2018, passed on May 21, 2018 establishing purchase order PO0125838.
This ordinance also authorizes the extension of existing purchase order PO072480 (established with passage of ordinance 1426-2017), with Halcyon, to allow for the use of any remaining funds, for a period of one year. This extension will ensure the availability of funds for the platform implementation of Tableau, which will continue through 2019 and into 2020.
Halcyon is not debarred according to the Federal excluded parties listing or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State unresolved finding for recovery certified search.
Tableau is a data visualization and business intelligence software that provides instantaneous insight by transforming data into visually appealing and interactive visualization. It helps the user see and understand the data quickly and find patterns that otherwise may be very difficult to detect and understand. Tableau connects to almost every database and its resulting visualizations can be easily shared with others both on and off City’s web pages. City departments are using this platform for data visualizations and better decision making.
