APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with International
Business Machines Corporation in an amount not to exceed $318,400 to provide mainframe support for the period
August 1, 2014 through July 31, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$318,400; Budgeted under Fiscal Year 14/15 Org #1060
BACKGROUND:
The IBM Mainframe system houses critical County business systems including the property tax system, law and
justice case management systems for the Courts, Probation, Public Defender and District Attorney, and the County
finance system. This contract with IBM will provide a thorough review and analysis of our current mainframe
environment to ensure that we are configured and operating according to best-practice industry standards. Part of this
analysis includes knowledge transfer to existing staff so that we can continue to properly maintain and support this
system as well as offering long-term supplemental support and systems monitoring.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure of even one of these mission-critical business systems could be catastrophic to the operations of the County
and the Superior Court. Therefore it is critical that we have multiple levels of support to ensure that the mainframe
system continues to operate without interruption.
