A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APPROVING
PURCHASE OF SECURITY SOFTWARE FOR THE AS/400
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, §3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so;
and
WHEREAS, the AS/400 computer is utilized in the Finance Department primarily for
the utility billing system and for the financial systems software; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to enhance access to information, staff is recommending that
the departments be able to securely access the data maintained by Finance via the Wide Area
Network; and
WHEREAS, with the City having a long-term intention to make use of the Internet for
constituent services, an entire new set of security issues needs to be addressed prior to
implementation; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide the access, security measures need to be applied to
prevent unauthorized access to the data; and
WHEREAS, staff has determined that the time necessary to develop the security
programs in-house far exceed the cost of purchasing the software from an outside source; and
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed proposals from four vendors and have evaluated the
costs and benefits of each system, and based on cost, ease of use, user ID control, auditing
features, and functionality, staff recommends purchasing the Security Software from
SafeStone Technologies, Inc. at the following costs:
1) A one time cost of $13,000 plus tax; and
2) An annual maintenance cost of approximately $2,200 per year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby approves
the purchase of Security Software for the AS/400 from SafeStone Technologies, Inc., in the
approximate amount of $15,000.00.
