HomeMy WebLinkAbout11 Consideration of a Purchase to Replace an Electronic Document Imaging System Agenda Item # 11 ■ UCKEE r Public CONSENT To: Board of Directors From: Robert Mescher Date: December 05, 2012 Subject: Consideration of a Purchase to Replace an Electronic Document Imaging System 1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD Only the Board can approve purchases over $15,000. 2. HISTORY Ten years ago, the District purchased an electronic document imaging system, called "PaperClip", along with its new administrative services software, called "iVUE". PaperClip stores electronic files of documents to eliminate the need to store paper documents, thereby reducing labor and storage costs for document archiving and retrieving. 3. NEW INFORMATION The iVUE software, which is provided by a sole source vendor, National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC), has been routinely upgraded to implement new technology. PaperClip is no longer compatible with the newest features of iVUE and is therefore in need of replacement. NISC recommends that the District upgrade to the new document imaging system called, "Document Vault", which is fully integrated with iVUE and all of its newest features. District staff has reviewed Document Vault features and has determined it meets the District's current and future needs. Attachment 1 is NISC's proposal totaling $24,909. 4. FISCAL IMPACT Sufficient funds exist in the approved FY12 Budget for this purchase. The $233 monthly service fee for Document Vault is comparable to the existing PaperClip monthly fee. 5. RECOMMENDATION Authorize the purchase to replace an electronic document imaging system, totaling $24,909 plus tax. Robert Mescher Michael D. Holley Administrative Services Manager General Manager
