Summary Explanation/Background
THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The purpose of this action is to standardize the County Attorney’s Office document management system, iManage WorkSite Server WorkGroup Edition 9.3 (“Worksite”), which provides a central repository for all electronic documents; permits version control when multiple versions of a document exists and multiple people work on a file; reduces duplicative files maintained by each person resulting in waste of storage space and inconsistent files; permits multiple individuals to work collaboratively on a single document or matter without overwriting each other’s work; utilizes the historical documents of the County Attorney using an effective search mechanism and field-coded document profiles; and reduces risk of inadvertent file and data loss in shared files by accidental deletion of folders or documents.
On February 1, 2016, the Director of Purchasing approved the Only Reasonable Source Memorandum for WorkSite as a document management system for the County Attorney’s Office.
On June 3, 2016, the Director of Purchasing approved the Software License, Maintenance and Support Agreement between Broward County and iManage, LLC, for WorkSite.
The term of the agreement began on the effective date and was for a period of three years from the date of Final Acceptance. The County had the option to renew this agreement for two additional one-year terms.
On July 13, 2017, the County Attorney’s Office confirmed that the review and final accepted testing of the iManage software had been completed in accordance with the terms of the above-referenced agreement. The Final Acceptance of Worksite became effective June 13, 2017.
On March 22, 2021, the Assistant Director of Purchasing approved the Recommendation for the Most Reasonable Source Memorandum, which requests an additional five-year contract with iManage, LLC (Exhibit 1).
Expenditures to date are $195,562.
