This contract is to supplement semi-annual and annual maintenance tasks and any unplanned emergency as-needed repair work which cannot be performed by existing City staff. The Contractor will provide hands-on-training and knowledge for WWE maintenance staff. WWE maintenance staff does monthly maintenance and limited as-needed repair work. The maintenance staff does not have the expertise, knowledge and manpower to perform all the supplemental semi-annual and annual maintenance tasks at this time.

As staff is trained up, the intent will be for the maintenance tasks and emergency as-needed repair work performed by the Contractor will be reduced so WWE maintenance can perform the work.

40263-19/20	Technology	$6,500,000	The current Citywide Microsoft ELA does not allow for the procurement of support services. Currently, City departments that want such services engage Microsoft directly, whereby service hours are procured through the Tech Marketplace. However, the new ELA beginning in June 2020 will allow for the procurement of support services. Since Microsoft has changed its pricing model from a purchase of service hours to a percentage of total spend, DT is currently negotiating with Microsoft to procure Unified Support for ALL City departments based on the City’s anticipated total spend. This approach, which has been approved by MBO, will allow any City department using Microsoft products to engage with them directly for resolution and assistance in deploying software and products. Microsoft Technical Account Managers and Engineers will assist City Staff in implementing Microsoft software products and work with City Staff to maximize the efficiency and deployment of Microsoft Products. These services require technical expertise and knowledge of proprietary Microsoft software products that City Staff do not have. Additionally, City employees do not have Enterprise level Microsoft deployment rights or access from an architectural level in order to perform this function. Engineering services may be utilized on a project basis, as needed. Technical Account Managers are assigned to specific Departments to work with City Engineers. Department of Technology is submitting this Request for Citywide Services as part of a new Enterprise License Agreement which will be available for use by all City Departments. In addition to the above, the new ELA will allow for the procurement of Microsoft consulting services on an as needed basis. Consulting services range from digital transformation design, planning and implementation, to cyber security services such as threat/vulnerability mitigation and identity/access control. Any department who wishes to retain Microsoft for such services will be able to do so through the Citywide EA.	Regular	5/31/2023
