\/ RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Bentley Systems, Inc. under the contract with the
California Department of General Services for software maintenance and
technical support for the specialized engineering software used in the
Public Works Agency in an amount not to exceed $54,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency utilizes a number of specialized engineering
software products for its computer design services. This software is
also used for accessing data on the Geographic Information System.
Bentley Systems, Inc. owns and maintains this software. A software
maintenance agreement is needed to ensure that the City receives software
upgrades, phone and on-line support.
Santa Ana Municipal Code section 2-807 (d) authorizes the City to
purchase from vendors whose names are on current, established list and
have been awarded the same type of purchase contract by another
government entity after a competitive bidding process, without separately
bidding. Currently, Bentley Systems, Inc. provides software maintenance
and technical support through the California Multiple Awards Schedule at
a discounted price. The cost for each year is estimated to be $27,000.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the two-year maintenance agreement will be $54,000. Funds in
the amount of $27,000 are budgeted in the current fiscal year for this
agreement in the Public Works Administration account for other
contractual services (account no. 101-601-6291). The remaining $27,000
will be included in the FY 06-07 budget.
