application tracking on a trial basis. At that time the initial cost was

$22,500.00; in 2009 the Procurement Ordinance authorized the City Manager via

the Finance Department, to approve purchases under $25,000. The trial period

was successful and the Department continued to utilize the software, paying the

annual license fee.

To accomplish this purchase, the City is ?Piggy-backing? off a contract awarded

by the City of Gainsville, as a result of their RFP #15053, issued on May 22,

2015, for an Application Tracking System Module. On June 23, 2016 the City of
