Local governments across California are upgrading systems and buying solutions. Here are some of the contracts Techwire is tracking.
1. Sacramento City Council is reviewing the city manager’s ability to enter into two contracts: one contract with Integrity Data and Fiber Inc. that will last until June 30, 2017, for no more than $275,000. The contract would then automatically renew for five one-year terms beginning July 1, 2017. Each of those six terms could not exceed $275,000. The total contract would amount to $1.65 million for the creation of telecommunications cables and wiring services. The second would be a contract with EKC Enterprises Inc. for no more than $900,000 total over six consecutive terms of five years and three months.
2. The city has also suspended competitive bidding for software licenses to upgrade the Department of Utilities Customer Information and Utility Billing System. Sacramento City Council has been asked to approve an almost $940,000 contract with Oracle America for the system.
3. Los Angeles County’s Board of Supervisors is considering signing a contract with FIS AvantGrant LLC to provide a Treasury Management Information System that would start on March 31, 2017, for a five-year term. This would have several extension options for up to two years. The entire contract is approximately $1.6 million.
4. Santa Clara County could approve an amendment to its agreement with Automon LLC, the company providing software for its correctional intervention system. This amendment would extend the contract by almost $276,000 and an extra two years.
Santa Clara County could also do business with IBM for its IT disaster recovery services. The contract would not cost more than $4.5 million for a period of five years.
5. The city of Anaheim discussed a $142,000 contract with Digital Scepter. The Irvine-based company was the only under-$300,000 bid to quote the city. The software purchased will protect 400 servers and 2,700 computers from malware with endpoint security.
