City Council

14.\nSupport and Maintenance Agreement with Advanced Utility Systems\nRecommendation:\nA. Pursuant to Sections 3.32.220(B) and 3.32.110(B)(3) of the Vernon Municipal Code\n(VMC), find that it is commercially unreasonable to rebid the proposed agreement for support\nand maintenance every three years, as a substantial upgrade to the billing system has\nrecently been completed, the software platform is proprietary to Advanced Utility Systems, a\ndivision of N. Harris Computer Corporation (Advanced), and continuity of support is critical\nfor maintaining the reliable operation of the City’s utility billing system; and\nB. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Support and Maintenance\nAgreement with Advanced, in substantially the same form as submitted, to provide software\nsupport and maintenance to the Infinity Customer Information System (CIS) billing system in\nan amount not-to-exceed $446,604.60 for a five-year term.\nNEW BUSINESS
