(A) ENGINE REPAIR FOR METRA TRANSIT BUS

It is requested that Council approve payment to Cummins Sales and

Service/Cummins Power South (Atlanta, GA), in the amount of $13,147.51, for

METRA transit Bus engine repairs.



Transit bus, #1219, is a 2011 Gillig 35ft low floor model, with fourteen (14)

years of useful life remaining, and is crucial to route service within the

City. The bus is equipped with a Cummins engine and started to experience

engine problems. Therefore, repairs were performed by Cummins Power South, an

authorized dealer for Cummins. Consequently, the vendor is considered the

only known source for the repair, per Procurement Ordinance, Article #3-114.



Funds are budgeted in the FY19 Budget: Transportation Fund ? Transportation ?

FTA- Vehicle Operation & Maintenance; 0751 ? 610 ? 2400 ? MFTA ? 6516 (City

(B) COURT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM UPGRADE

It is requested that Council approve an agreement with Tyler Technologies

(Plano, TX), to implement Odyssey (Software as a Service (SaaS), a Tyler Courts

& Justice Solution, for the Court Management System Upgrade; procured by

cooperative purchase via Sourcewell Contract #110515-TTI. The implementation

will take place within a 24-month period. The cost for the implementation will

be spread over a 5-year period, at a total estimated cost of $4,164,564, which

includes the 1st year SaaS Fee. Implementation costs will be financed through

Capital Innovations, Inc., via a five year lease-purchase agreement in the

approximate amount of $920,754.28 annually. SaaS Fees for years 2 - 5 will be

paid to Tyler Technologies in the amount of $708,905. Approximate costs for

each year is denoted as follows:

Summary of Costs FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023 FY2024

Implementation Costs *920,754.28 (Year 1) *920,754.28 (Year 2) *920,754.28 (Year 3)

The existing Court Management System is outdated and obsolete, as it still

operates using mainframe technology. Odyssey is a web-based computer system

that provides a unified, fully integrated justice software solution without

sacrificing functional requirements. The primary goals of implementing a

centralized court management system are to:

? Improve overall case processing within our judicial system.

? Increase the efficiency of information delivery to all offices that service

our court system.

? Increase operational efficiency and effectiveness through automating certain

activities and streamlining other operations.

? Improve data quality, integrity, and analysis within our judicial system.

? Maintain and improve data sharing between various governmental and public

entities.

The purchase will be accomplished via Request for Proposal (RFP) Contract

#110515-TTI, initiated by Sourcewell, whereby Tyler Technologies, was one of

the successful vendors contracted to provide Public Sector

Administrative-Related Software Solutions & Technology Services. The contract,

which commenced December 15, 2015, is good through December 15, 2019, with an

option to renew for a fifth year at the discretion of Sourcewell. Sourcewell

(formerly National Joint Powers Alliance) is a self-supporting government

organization, partnering with education, government, and nonprofits to boost

student and community success. Created in 1978 as one of Minnesota?s nine

service cooperatives, they offer training and shared services to

central-Minnesota members. Throughout North America, they offer a cooperative

purchasing program with over 200 awarded vendors on contract. Sourcewell is

driven by service and the ability to strategically reinvest in member

communities. The solicitation process utilized by Sourcewell meets the

requirements of the City?s Procurement Ordinance; additionally, cooperative

purchasing is authorized per Article 9-101 of the Procurement Ordinance.

Funding for the first year is available in the FY19 Budget as: Special Projects

? Capital Projects Fund ? Capital Projects ? General Fund Supported Capital

Projects ? Software Lease ? Court Management System Upgrade OLOST;

0508-660-1000-6541-22945-20170, 20180, 20190. Funding for the remaining four
