Background Analysis

The City established Contract C-37587 with Verint Americas, Inc. (aka Kana Software) to provide support, maintenance, and hosting services for 311’s Lagan system. The system provides 311 customers the ability to connect with the City via multiple avenues, including mobile applications. It also enables a singular place to report incidents and receive information about the City. The application is vital to 311 agents in responding to the City’s constituents in a timely and accurate manner.  Adoption of the 311 system across the enterprise has increased.  More and more City personnel rely upon the 311 system to do their job, necessitating a purchase of additional licensing. 

IT therefore requests an increase to Contract C-37587 in the amount of $328,173 for a new not-to-exceed amount of $3,673,173.
