Subject: Resolution Ratifying Interlocal Agreement Between Miami-Dade County Information
Technology Department and the City of South Miami for Information Technology
Maintenance and Support Services for a Three-Year Term

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) ratify the Interlocal Agreement between the County and the City of South Miami (City) for information technology maintenance and support services for a three (3) year term commencing on October 1, 2015 and expiring on September 30, 2018.

Sections 2-9 and 2-10 of the Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances (Code) allows the County Mayor or the County Mayor�s designee to enter into contracts on behalf of the County with municipalities and other governmental units for joint performance with the County for a period not to exceed one (1) year subject to ratification by the Board.

Scope
The City is in Commission District 7, which is represented by Commissioner Xavier L. Suarez.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The Interlocal Agreement will generate $511,500 in revenues to the County through the provision of information technology maintenance and support services to the City.

Track Record I Monitor
John Concepcion, Field Services Division Director in the Information Technology Department, monitors this agreement.

Background
In September 2013, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for information technology maintenance and support services because the City�s current IT contractor advised it would not renew its annual agreement. After the receipt and review of vendor proposals, the City determined that the respondents did not possess significant municipal and governmental experience to provide on-site information technology services, and subsequently contacted the County�s Information Technology Department for an analysis and proposal for the provision of information technology services. After review and approval of the Information Technology Department�s proposal, the City approved an Interlocal Agreement with the Information Technology Department for information technology maintenance and support services.

The County has been the sole provider of the City�s information technology maintenance and support services since April 2014. The County has provided significant enhancements and security improvements to the network and the City is very satisfied with the County�s services. The Interlocal Agreement was set to expire on October 1, 2015 and the City voted for a three-year agreement at their Board meeting on September 1, 2015 with an effective date of October 1, 2015.
