Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Oracle America, Inc., to provide one year of software licensing, technical support, media and documentation for Oracle database management system (DBMS) under software license and services agreement NL-225457-21-MAY-99 from May 22, 2012 to May 21, 2013.
Currently, Oracle licensing and support is required to provide continued use of all major systems that utilize Oracle DBMS.
Oracle America, Inc., the manufacturer and sole source of supply, has submitted prices for the software licensing and support required.

Oracle America, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.

Funds for the 2012 expenditure, in the amount of $99,847.47 are available in Account 101-27000-612820. The estimated expenditure for 2013 is $99,847.46. Funds for the 2013 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners' approval of the District's budget for that year.
