REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Action on a Consent to Assignment and Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement for Services with Granicus, LLC to Provide City Website Redesign, Implementation and Support Services
Report
BACKGROUND
In May 2017, Council approved an agreement to engage the City's website content management system (CMS) provider, Vision Technology Solutions, LLC, (dba Vision Internet Providers), to refresh the City's website, SantaClaraCA.gov. The initial contract end date was set for June 30, 2018. The City also has a four-year maintenance subscription agreement with Vision through August 2019. Vision Technology Solutions was initially selected through a competitive review process in April 2008. In February 2018, Vision was purchased by Granicus, LLC.
The proposed Consent to Assignment Agreement would transfer all rights, agreements and outstanding obligations from Vision Technology Solutions, LLC. to Granicus, LLC. The proposed Amendment No.1 (Amendment) would reinstate the website redesign agreement, modifying the term end date and scope for the revised website design project. The Amendment scope of work is made up of three components: the website redesign, a five-year maintenance, hosting, and licensing agreement, and optional website enhancements over the term of the agreement. The Amendment is for an amount of $473,305 to cover all three components, with contract terms in effect until August 31, 2024, added to the original contract amount of $189,810 for a new total not-to-exceed amount of $663,115.
