CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FoRTNVORTII
DATE: 9/14/2021 REFERENCE**M&C 21- LOG 13P RFP 21-0108 FY 20 ERP UPK
NO.: 0659 NAME: TRAINING REPLACEMENT ITS ADK
CODE: P TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT. (ALL) Authorize an Agreement for the Purchase of a Training Content Development
System with Assima, Inc. for a First Year Cost of$105,000.00 and Authorize Unlimited
One-Year Renewals for the Life of the Software in an Annual Amount of$70,000.00 for
the Information Technology Solutions (ITS) Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize an agreement for the purchase of a Training
Content Development System with Assima, Inc. for a first year cost of$105,000.00 and authorize
unlimited one-year renewals for the Life of the Software in an annual amount of$70,000.00 for the
Information Technology Solutions (ITS) Department
DISCUSSION:
The Information Technology Department (ITS) approached the Purchasing Division with the intent to
establish an agreement to replace our current training content system. Currently, the City uses Oracle
User Productivity Kit (UPK) as the training content system to provide training to employees. This
system is now at the end of its life and becoming obsolete, therefore, the system needs replacement.
Request for Proposal (RFP) 21-0108 was issued on April 14, 2021, and was advertised in the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram for four (4) consecutive Wednesdays beginning on April 14, 2021, through May
5, 2021. Eight (8) vendors were solicited with seven (7) responses. All bids were evaluated based on
who would be the best value to the City by a seven (7) person team consisting of representatives from
the ITS and Human Resources (HR) Departments. Each bid was evaluated on the product description
and its features, the implementation process and updates, and the training and support that will be
provided. Once the initial evaluations had been completed, the three highest-scoring bidders were
asked to demonstrate their products. After the demonstrations, those three were scored again, with
Assima, Inc. being the highest-scoring bidder. Therefore, purchasing staff recommends awarding an
agreement to Assima, Inc. The product, service, and price are determined to be fair and reasonable.
The first year of the contract includes all costs associated with acquiring and implenting the software.
The subsequent renewals include costs for the maintenance and support offered by the vendor for the
life of the software.
OFFICE OF BUSINESS DIVERSITY (OBD): A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting
requirements is approved by the OBD, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the
applications of the purchase of goods or services is from sources where sub-contracting or supplier
opportunities are negligible.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does not
require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council's approval, this agreement shall begin upon execution and
expire one year from that date.
RENEWAL TERMS: This agreement may be renewed for an unlimited amount of renewals for the life
of the software. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City
Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.

FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

approval of the above recommendation and execution of the agreement. Prior to any expenditure
being incurred, the Information Technology Solutions Department has the responsibility to validate
the availability of funds.
