Dear Sir:
On May 20, 2010, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Oracle America, Inc. for Computer Software and Hardware Maintenance, Integration and Software Support Services for the District’s Enterprise (SAP) Servers, Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and Disaster Recovery Servers for a period of three (3) years in an amount not to exceed $839,923.74.
The agreement with Oracle America, Inc. does not include computer hardware purchases. In an effort to consolidate agreements with Oracle America, Inc., authorization is requested to rescind the award to Oracle America, Inc. from the May 20, 2010 Board meeting. A new Board letter will be submitted which seeks authorization to enter into an agreement that includes both computer hardware purchases and software and hardware maintenance.
In view of the foregoing, the Director of Procurement and Materials Management recommends that the authorization to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Oracle America, Inc. in an amount of $839,923.74 be rescinded.
Funds will be restored to Accounts 101-27000-601170, 612810, 612820.
