BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The heart of any computer is its operating system. It is the
foundational software, upon which all other applications and utilities
operate. A computer cannot operate without an operating system.
The City's IBM AS400 computer operating system is licensed annually through IBM.
Logical Design, Inc. is the IBM vendor/partner assigned to handle the City's account. Prices are standard
and there would be no savings to the City by buying directly from IBM or from another IBM
vendor/partner. Accordingly, staff is recommending selection of Logical Design, Inc. for the software
license purchase in the amount of ($29,200.25)
There is no alternative to renewing the software license so long as the City uses the IBM AS400
computer.
This item has been budgeted.
