Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Oracle USA, Inc. for software licensing, technical support, media and documentation for Oracle Software under software license and services agreement at the Main Office Building. This purchase order is effective from May 22, 2009 through May 21, 2010.
The software licensing and support allows the District to receive what is required to provide continued use of all major systems that utilize Oracle Software.
Oracle USA, Inc., the sole service provider of technical support services for Oracle’s program licenses, has submitted prices for the services required. Inasmuch as Oracle USA, Inc. is the only source of supply for the services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Oracle USA, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the services required.
In view of the foregoing it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Oracle USA, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $182,749.15.
Funds are available in Account 101-27000-612820.
Requested, Keith D. Smith, Director of Information Technology, KDS:FA:mh
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
