Item 4QCITY OF
SOUTHLAKI
MEMORANDUM
(October 30, 2013)
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Greg Hendricks, Interim Director of Information Technology
Subject: Consent agenda item 4Q - Approve the purchase to Accela Inc. for
support and maintenance of the Accela application in the amount of
$78,951.
Action
Requested: Approve an annual software support and maintenance
agreement with Accela Inc. in the amount of $78,951.
Background
Information: The City of Southlake purchased the Accela application from
Accela Inc. to provide land and asset management utilized
by Planning, Public Works, and Community Services. This
contract assures that the City of Southlake will receive
access to the latest versions of the software, application
issue remedies, and end user support for daily operations.
Financial
Considerations: Total expenditure of $78,951 which is within budget (General
Fund).
Strategic Link: B4 — "Provide High Quality Customer Service" — enables IT
to provide quick response and resolution for Accela system
issues as well as upgrades, future enhancements & bug
fixes
B6 — "Optimize Use of Technology" — enables the IT
department to maintain supportable systems and services
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Not Applicable
Legal Review: The previous 5-year contract pricing ended in December
2012 and is now on year-to-year annual maintenance
renewals.
Alternatives: 1) Approve as proposed.
2) Reject — Since the application is hosted we cannot avoid
this cost without bringing the application in-house and
provide support internally paying for future bug fixes and
enhancements as required. This carries a high risk due to
the complexity of the application and would require further
analysis to determine implementation costs. The contract
cost would still be required in the interim.
