HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01082013 - C.126RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase
Order with Direct Systems Support, in the amount of $107,588, for maintenance and upgrades on IBM servers and
related equipment software, for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Enterprise Fund I.
BACKGROUND:
The software maintenance, if renewed under current IBM software maintenance Purchase Order, would be $111,812.
Direct Systems Support has offered the same maintenance with IBM for $107,588. We will save $4,300. this year
alone if Contra Costa Health Services renew with Direct Systems Support.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Purchase Order is not approved the software would not be covered on a maintenance contract and when an
incident occurs, IBM will not support Contra Costa Health Services. This may cause extended downtimes impacting
healthcare operations.
