Item No. 12-254
Date: July 23, 2012
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Execution of a Contract in the Amount of
$250,668 to SunGard for the Purchase of Software
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary:
As part of the fiscal year 2012 budget process, the Council appropriated $300,000 to replace the
City's financial software with a financial system that would integrate core City functions and to
improve customer service to our citizens. City staff reviewed live demonstrations of a number of
software providers in order to achieve this goal. Based on the options available staff's
recommendation is to purchase software from SunGard in the amount of $250,668. The proposed
purchase will upgrade the City's core financial system as well as provide an integrated approach to
many functions currently being performed manually.
This recommendation was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on
July 16, 2012. The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council
as it is over $100,000.
