Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a sole source contract between the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (“NDOT”) and NuOrigin Systems, Inc. to provide annual maintenance, support, and necessary updates for various mission critical applications for NDOT. The sole source contract was originally approved through Resolution No. RS2021-1171 for a term of 60 month and an estimated value of $1,500,000.
The proposed amendment increases the contract value by $550,000 to a revised contract value of $2,050,000. NDOT seeks to increase the contract value primarily to provide for GIS data updates and application enhancements. The proposed amendment would also remove the requirement for a contract number, project name, or RFQ to appear on a certificate of insurance and add a clause required by Tenn. Code Ann. § 12-4-119 prohibiting the contractor from engaging in a boycott of Israel for the duration of the contract.
Sole source contracts may be awarded under the Metro procurement code when it is determined that there is only one source for the supply or services rendered. Section 4.12.060 of the Metro Code requires all sole source contracts having a total value in excess of $250,000 to be approved by the Council by resolution with 21 affirmative votes.
Fiscal Note: This amendment to the sole source contract 6494862 with NuOrigin Systems, Inc. increases the estimated contract value from $1,500,000 to $2,050,000.
