BACKGROUND (Continued) project) off of this contract and receive the same discounting offered for the core desktop licensing for Riverside County, County Departments will have agreement options that best fit their departmental needs including either a three or five year agreement. PRICE REASONABLENESS Information Technology and the Purchasing Department, working with Microsoft, determined best pricing and developed a customized licensing program that works best for California Government. The analysis shows that by participating in the Enterprise Agreement (EA), the County can save as much as $907,686 annually off the retail price and $4,538,430 over the next five (5) years. The requested $6 million annual amount allows individual departments to purchase their user or device license and various platform products and services that departments purchase to meet their business needs. The $6 million is an estimated amount that provides for the purchasing authority off the Microsoft agreement in order to ensure county departments receive all applicable discounts. As with any county purchase, all purchase orders will be processed through County Purchasing for approval. Because Microsoft only sells their products through resellers, Purchasing released a Request for Quote PURAC -1200, on PublicPurchase.com and advertised on the County's Internet to obtain Microsoft Large Account resellers (LARs), which resulted in six LARs responding to the solicitation. The County evaluated the responses and recommends that Insight Public Sector Inc. be awarded as the primary LAR for Riverside County, and the remaining five, CompuCom Systems, Inc., Dell Marketing, L.P., Enpointe Technologies Sales Inc., PC Mali Gov, Inc., and Softchoice Corporation also be awarded for use by other governmental entities to allow these entities the option to select their LAR based on their own geographical or other criteria. These LARs shall be authorized to offer a contract for any government entity in California to enroll into the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement through December 31, 2016.
