INTRODUCED BY Scott Burnett, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, section 1030.1 of the Jackson County Code, 1984, eliminates the requirement for competitive bidding when items to be purchased can be obtained from only one source and requires notification of and approval by the Legislature on such sole source purchases exceeding $25,000.00; and,
WHEREAS, the Clerk of the Legislature recommends a contract with Granicus, Inc., of San Francisco, CA, for the furnishing of the Legislative Management Suite software system, at a cost to the County not to exceed $66,629.02; and,
WHEREAS, Granicus, the current provider of streaming video software for the County, has merged with Daystar Computer Systems, the provider of Legistar, the current legislative tracking software in use in the County; and,
WHEREAS, the new Legislative Management Suite software will migrate the current Legistar system from in-house servers to a hosted environment, enabling the County to make legislative item approvals automatically; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing further recommends that he not take competitive bids with regard to said contract for the reason that Granicus, Inc., is the only company that provides the proprietary Legislative Management Suite software system; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that the Director of Finance and Purchasing be, and hereby is, authorized to execute for the County a contract with Granicus, Inc., of San Francisco, CA, in a form to be approved by the County Counselor, for the furnishing of Legislative Management Suite software services for the Clerk of the Legislature; and,
