RTC#03-180

June 3, 2003

SUBJECT:

Award of Contract for Technical Support and Software Licenses for Network Database Users (F0205-96)(RTC#03-180)

REPORT IN BRIEF

Approval is requested for the award of a one-year contract to the Oracle Corporation of Rocklin for network database user software licenses and technical support for the Information Technology Department.

BACKGROUND

The City's Integrated Financial System software runs on an Oracle database. The City has licensed 100 concurrent users and Oracle "Premium Support" technical/software support for this application. The fees for calendar year 2003-2004 will exceed $50,000, requiring Council approval.

DISCUSSION

Section 2.08.070(b) of the Sunnyvale Municipal Code exempts from competitive bidding those situations where the City's requirements can be met solely by a single patented article or process. In this case, the Oracle database software is proprietary to Oracle; and user licenses and ongoing software maintenance and support is available only from Oracle.

FISCAL IMPACT

Total cost to the City for a one-year licensing/support agreement will be $52,618 (tax included).

Funds are available in Information Technology Account #766090 - Maintain Vendor Contracts for Applications Software.

 RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that Council award a one-year contract in the amount of $52,618 to the Oracle Corporation of Rocklin for network user software licensing and technical support and authorize the Purchasing Officer to issue a Purchase Order to that effect.
