Since 1997, the City has licensed this <br />antivirus software and support. That agreement is expiring. The City would <br />like to enter into a new agreement with ASAP Software to continue to <br />receive Trend Micro's anti-virus product license as well as technical <br />support and services. <br /> <br />The County of San Joaquin conducted a competitive bidding process in order <br />to purchase a number of anti-virus software packages. They did this on <br />behalf of the membership of the California County Information Systems <br />Directors Association (CCISDA), which represents 43 counties, and the <br />Municipal Information Systems Association of California (MISAC), which has <br />over 150 member organizations (including the City of Santa Ana). Because <br />the County was able to include CCISDA and MISAC in negotiating the <br />contract, they were able to secure volume price discounts for all of the <br />members of CCISDA and MISAC. The volume pricing discounts secured by the <br />county far exceeds any prices that the City of Santa Ana could command for <br />its limited quantity of 2,000 licenses. <br /> <br />The Information Services Division recommends that the City enter into an <br />agreement with ASAP Software pursuant to the terms and conditions of the <br />anti-virus agreement between the County of San Joaquin and ASAP Software <br />to renew the City's existing licenses for anti-virus software and services <br />developed by Trend Micro, Inc. The renewal under this arrangement would be <br />for a term of four years with a single up front payment in an amount not <br />to exceed $45,000. <br /> <br />25A-1 <br />
