PROPOSED CONTRACT ADDENDUM

ITEM #5

Transmitting a Communication dated May 15, 2000 from

THOMAS J. GLASER, Chief Financial Officer, Bureau of Finance

On November 17, 1998, the Board approved the Purchasing Agent to enter into a contract with International Business Machines (IBM) for the purchase and implementation of software and hardware for a new integrated Financial Management Information System (FMIS) in the amount not to exceed $19,800,000. The IBM Contract #99-43-264 was issued in the amount of $16,037,405. I am requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent to increase the IBM contract by $2,500,000 to provide agreed upon additional technical support, training and hardware and software. The requested increase does not exceed the original amount authorized by the Board. The expenses will be paid from the 15000 account.

Estimated Fiscal Impact: $2,500,000.00. Bond Issue (15000 Account).

Sufficient funds have been appropriated to cover this request.
