Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Contract Extension with Sirius Computer Solutions for IBM System Z Mainframe Operating System services
The contract includes provisions requiring the contractor to indemnify the County for any
claims for infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights to the extent the
infringement claims are based on Contractor's performance of support services under the
contract.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In accordance with Administrative Bulletin 605.3, service contracts exceeding $100,000
require the approval of the Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Mainframe production job processing can impact the Courts Systems, Law and Justice
Systems, Property Tax System, and the Finance System. The County's business productivity
and finance systems could be negatively impacted if the Mainframe malfunctioned and we
were unable to correct the issue; the implications could be severe.
