CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM

title

body
DEPARTMENT: Electric Utility
SUBMITTED BY: Brian Groth, Director
BACKGROUND:
The Electric Utility (Utility) has been using Oracle Database Software since 2011 to store, validate, and manage its metering data. Oracle database software is industry standard for this application and is fully integrated with the Utility’s Meter Data Management System (MDMS) and Empower customer portal.
DISCUSSION:
The renewal of the Oracle annual licensing allows the Utility to continue to operate the Oracle Database software, obtain updates to remediate security vulnerabilities, and receive technical support for issues beyond the expertise of in-house staff. Due to continual analysis of system performance, it is best to contract for one year at a time to ensure flexibility.
Staff has identified an approved cooperative contract, State of Illinois Cooperative Contract 20-448DOIT-ADMIN-P-14011 formerly CMT1176600 through Mythics, Inc. for the procurement of the Oracle support renewal. The term for support begins January 13, 2022 and ends January 12, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP#: N/A
Renewal cost for the Oracle database is budgeted in the Software & Hardware Maintenance account listed below. A total of $139,010 is budgeted in 2022 for this service. The requested award is within budget.
