Explanation
§ The city requires professional services for Oracle products, including software implementation services, in connection with regular software upgrades and other special projects. These services may be performed directly by DLT Solutions, LLC or Mythics, Inc.
§ G.S. 143-129(e)(3) allows local governments to purchase from formally organized cooperative purchasing contracts.
§ A cooperative purchasing agreement results from the consolidation and competitive solicitation of multiple public agency requirements. By aggregating common needs all agencies are able to leverage economies of scale, such as volume discounts, improved terms and conditions, reduced administrative costs, and access to professional and technical expertise that can be utilized on a local, regional, and national level.
§ Total annual expenditures are estimated to be $1,000,000.
