Summary Title: New 3-year contract for Microsoft Licensing
Title: Approval of a 3-Year Contract With SoftwareOne, Inc. for Microsoft
Licensing in the Amount of $455,707 Annually
From: City Manager
Lead Department: IT Department
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to
execute the following:
1) A new three-year agreement with SoftwareOne, Inc. in the amount of $455,707
annually to pay for the City’s annual Microsoft licensing.
2) Authorize a 20% contingency in the amount of $91,141 each year for the
purchase of Microsoft licensing for any unforeseen licensing needs.
Executive Summary
This is a support services contract for Microsoft Product Licensing and Maintenance as
described in the Riverside County Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. The City of Palo Alto
has used the Riverside Enterprise Agreement since 2005 to secure discounted pricing of
Microsoft licensing. Riverside’s sheer volume of licenses of Microsoft products used has
allowed them to obtain deep discounts on these products. This discount is allowed to be
passed on to other agencies within the state. The products and services in this annual
licensing run the City’s email system; a large proportion of our City data center core
systems; productivity software such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint both installed and
online; video conferencing; SharePoint; and many more essential City solutions.
Background
On April 23, 2012, Council approved contract C12144913 with CompuCom Systems Inc.
for a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (MEA) (Staff Report: 2649) for 4,260 licenses for
various Microsoft software programs. This agreement was initially executed by the
County of Riverside, California (RIVCO-20800-(002-007)-12/12 and is extended to local
agencies to take advantage of the competitive pricing that has been negotiated through
City of Palo Alto Page 2
this contract. The MEA covers all Microsoft licensing and maintenance at an annual cost
of $210,617 and is valid through January 2017. Office 365 licenses were also added to
this agreement back in December 2015 and additional Office 365 licenses in 2016 which
increased the annual cost to $310,000. The City will again be piggybacking with the
County of Riverside for Microsoft licensing.
Every year on the City’s anniversary date an annual true-up is performed which
compares the actual number of licenses used by City staff against how many licenses
the City has already purchased. The cost associated with this true-up includes the
license cost of these items as well as the Software Assurance for the remaining years
on the agreement. Software Assurance provides the City with Planning Services to
enable efficient deployment of licenses and solutions, in-person and online training for
IT and end users, and rights to new software releases during the term of the
agreement at no additional cost.
Discussion
The execution of this contract will ensure the current services provided by Microsoft,
namely the annual licenses necessary for Office 365 which provides the City’s city-wide
email services as well as critical applications such as Microsoft Office Word and Excel.
The annual cost for this new three-year contract is $455,707 for a three-year term
($1.37 million), not to exceed $1.65 million when including the 20% contingency.
Although the previous contract annual amount was $310,000 annually, annual true-ups
over the term of the contract totaled approximately $380,000.
The Information Technology Department diligently reviewed this new contract ensuring
the City is accurately licensed for all necessary components such as server licensing,
user licensing and security licensing. This contract not only renews the existing volume
in the prior contract but it accounts for additional user licensing for position vacancies
and for new hires. Variances such as these were accounted for in the annual true-up in
the prior contract. The licensing level was marginally increased to provide more robust
security capabilities such as enterprise mobility plus security and mobile device
management. This increased security will allow the City to consolidate some security
vendors. In addition to required licenses, staff has also included additional licensing that
could be leveraged for future functionality such as Power BI (Business Intelligence)
which allows for visual report writing and dashboard capabilities. Adding this minimal
charge to the annual agreement allows the City to leverage the current discounted
pricing should staff decide to implement the new functionality citywide. These licenses
will allow the City to have even greater functionality with Office 365. Additional details
of the services provided through this contract can be found in Attachment C.
A contingency of twenty percent is recommended annually to be allocated for Microsoft
City of Palo Alto Page 3
licensing in order to fund any unforeseen licensing purchase needs that occur.
Resource Impact
The funding for the current Microsoft contract is budgeted in the Information
Technology Fund and allocated out to departments as part of the Information
Technology Department’s allocated charges. The marginal increase of the annual base
contract level will be incorporated into the development of the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget,
and funding for subsequent years of the contract will be subject to approval through
the annual budget process.
Environmental Review
Approval of these contracts do not constitute a project under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no Environmental Assessment is required.
