Issue purchase order to and enter into an agreement with Omnant Technologies, LLC for licenses, software maintenance and hosting of Omnant Forthsite software for a one-year period, in an amount not to exceed $16,800.00, Account 101-27000-623800, Requisition 1589614
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to and enter into an agreement with Omnant Technologies, LLC for licenses, software maintenance and hosting of Forthsite Software for a one-year period. The period will begin December 1, 2022 and will end on November 30, 2023.
The Forthsite Omnant software will allow the Engineering Construction Division to automate tracking and collecting of all reports and tests that come through Construction field crews for quality assurance testing and to manage documents within the Quality Control (QC) section, along with scheduling, pour notifications, and equipment inventory, gaining the ability to store and utilize tests data which is currently not done.
Omnant Technologies LLC has submitted prices for Forthsite Software licenses and hosting for a one-year period. Inasmuch as Omnant Technologies LLC is the only source of supply for the Forthsite Software licenses and hosting, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
Omnant Technologies, LLC is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Appendix A and Appendix V are not included in this contract because the estimate is less than the minimum threshold established by Section 4 of the Affirmative Action Ordinance.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Omnant Technologies, LLC in an amount not to exceed $16,800.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-27000-623800.
Requested, John Sudduth, Director of Information Technology, JS:SK:BVS:bvs
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
