VISC-USIS11ON:
The ILS manages major aspects of library operations, including the online catalog, patron accounts, check-
out and check-in procedures, fines and overdue materials, orders and funds for library materials, holdings
information and management statistics. The library's current ILS is over 15 years old. The vendor no
longer makes improvements to the software, and has already stopped providing maintenance support for
some functions.
The estimated cost for the new ILS is $1.2 million for implementation and $140,000 annual system
ma=ntenance. In Informal Report No. 8515 (August 12, 2003), Council was informed that The Fort Worth
Public Library Foundation agreed to raise' up to half of the estimated $1.2 million costs for a new
system. The City will provide the remaining estimated costs with up to $300,000 being transferred from the

Library's Special Revenue Library Automation Systems Sharing Fund. Council approved the final $3OO`OOO
as part of the Library's FY 2004/2005 General Fund budget. The remaining $120,000 of this appropriation is funded from revenues already accepted, but not yet appropriated, in the Special Revenue Li-rary\Utm8at8d8yGtenGGhariOgFund.
The Fort Worth Public Library released a Request for Proposal for an Integrated Library System and
Related services on June 17, 2004. Four vendors submitted proposals. The FVVPL The Foundation, IT
F SO|UdonsStattheLibrgryAdvisOryBO@nJ, aOdtheFriend8OftheF0rt8JdhPub|ioLibr@ry' Inc., conducted
a thorough evaluation of each proposal. Based on the evaluation, th e Library recommends accepting the
prOpVa8| submitted by Dynix Corporation for its integrated library system, known as "Horizon.',
Dynix ia one of the oldest and most reliable |L8 vendors iO the country. The proposed Horizon system is
operating sUCoeSSfu||y in over 700 libraries worldwide. Dynix is the library's current veDdUr, and has
provided FVVPLxxith high-quality, reliable service since 1990. The Dynix Horizon system offerSth'— best mix
of and functions required by the Library for its users, and the company's existing services and
vision for development are beet suited to the Library's current and future needs.
The Horizon system offers the best value for the cost. The Dynix proposal was significantly lower than the
other vendors' bids. This turnkey oyatgx} provides eervere, hardvvane, acoeaaohea, proprietary database
aofhware, and peripheral products necessary for the efficient operation of the system. 3y providing all
hardware and peripherals, Dynix warrants system performance and guarantees that the 'existing proprietary
system software and subsequent upgrades will operate properly. Additional details about the system and
the selection process were provided in Informal Report 8647 to City Council Members dated December 14
'2OO4.
/\ft8r implementation of the Syet8nn, the Dynix contract establishes an initial 5-year maintenance term, which rnGyb8venevvedaUtonl@tiC8||yfor8ddibon8| Vne-ye@rternOe. Annual nOointengnCecharges for the initial 5-
year term one estimated to be $140.000; rate increases associated with the one-year renewals will be no
greater than 5% or the Consumer Price |ndgx, whichever is less. These maintenance payments will cover
the costs of ongoing system support een/ioea, remedial and preventive maintenance for equipment and
software, and the routine system updates and enhancements Dynix releases each year.
The Dynix contract will a||ovv the Library to continue providing automated library services for its client
libraries in six Tarrant County cities, referred toaa the K8etrOPAC. These cities are Benbrooh` Burleson,He|ton City, Keller, Richland Hills, and Watauga. FVPL has previously entered into |ntedOoa| Agreements
to provide library automation services for these cities. Once the new | S system is operational, FVPL will
no longer be able to provide automated library services to the other cities. Therefore, the libraries wish to
enter into new agreements for these services to become effective once the new system is in place.
All revenue from buy-in and annual maintenance received from the client libraries will be deposited in
Special Revenue Fund GFl03, Account ND. 487092, Center NO. 084840010000' Library Automation
Systems Fund (established by M&C G-7311. November 3, 1907). Funds in this account are
reserved to offset the costs associated with improving and expanding
the library's automated
system. Under the terms of the Dynix contract, if any nf the client libraries elect not 1o �ninin use Of the nexv
system, the total system purchase price will be reduced accordingly,
