Analysis

 

This resolution approves a sole source contract with an estimated contract value of $345,000 between the Metropolitan Government and US eDirect, Inc. to provide a Point of Sale System, including any maintenance and upgrades, for the Department of Parks and Recreation.

 

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.

 

The contract term is 60 months from the date of filing with the Metropolitan Clerk’s Office. This agreement is for the continued maintenance and future programming fees for the Point of Sale system, which is managed and hosted by US eDirect, Inc. This is the collection system used for all fees for the Department of Parks and Recreation.

 

Fiscal Note: The total value over the life of this contract is $345,000 and would be paid from Park’s 16 Business Unit numbers in the GSD account for the continued maintenance and future programming fees to the department’s existing Point-of-Sale system.
