Background Information:
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Department of Information Resources (DIR) awarded a contract (DIR-TSO-3763) to Dell Marketing LP for VMware, a virtualization and cloud computing software provider. In December 2016, the City entered into a contract with Dell Marketing L.P.
The City originally purchased VMware software in 2010 from Unique Digital (VMware has since been purchased by Dell) when the City started developing the virtual environment. Over the years the City purchased various upgrades, expansions, and add-ons of VMware software. The maintenance renewals from these purchased were spaced out throughout the year and in an effort to consolidate the licensing we worked with Dell to co-term all VMware license. This renewal is the accumulation of consolidating multiple contract renewals.
This renewal is to extend the services for an additional 12-month period. The original agreement amount was $24,877.48 and with this renewal amount of $41,200.96, thus requiring City Council approval.
