Agenda Text
The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve a contract with SHI International Corp. for the purchase of goods related to Microsoft Volume Licensing in the amount of $402,107.27. The contract consolidates the SHI International Corp., Microsoft Windows license renewal contract completed FY19 and completes the license purchase required for the Sheriff's Office servers and agency migration to Office 365. All of these funds have already been encumbered for this contract.
The terms of the initial SHI contract are from July 16, 2018 - June 30, 2019. Due to a turnover in Sheriff's finance personnel, the initial contract dates for the start of the enterprise agreement are termed April 1, 2019 - March 31, 2020. The current contract term of April 1, 2020 - March 31, 2023 will align the contract with the enterprise agreement.
In addition, the Sheriff's Office is requesting that the County Manager have authority to sign subsequent renewals and amendments within this timeframe so long as the contract amount does not exceed $402,107.27. This contract will assist in the migration to Microsoft Office 365 project tasks and any additional licensing for business needs.
