Title
Consider recommendations regarding an agreement with Software One, Inc. for Microsoft Enterprise License Agreement, as follows:
a) Approve a recommendation from the Department of Social Services to utilize the responses to the County of Riverside’s Request for Quote (RFQ) No. PUARC-1200 to obtain volume discounting and best pricing to purchase Microsoft Enterprise licenses and products; and
b) Approve and authorize the Director of the County of Santa Barbara Department of Social Services to execute the Microsoft Program Signature Form with SoftwareOne, Inc., which incorporates the terms and conditions of the Microsoft Enterprise Enrollment (Number 67175395/X20-12057), the Enterprise Agreement (Number 01E73134), the Enterprise Amendment (Number M97), the Product Selection Form (Number 0461048.004_PSF), and the Supplemental Contact Information Form, for volume licensing of Microsoft products and services in an amount not to exceed $375,000.00 annually for a total contract price not to exceed $1,125,000.00 for a period of three years; and
c) Determine that the actions above are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the execution of the Agreement is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA.
