su~~ECT SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF A SUNFIRE V884 SER~IER
AND SOFTWARE FROM DYNIX FOR THE LIBRARY INTEGRATED LIBRARY
SYSTEM (ILS1
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by
$181,214 in the Special Revenue Fund from available funds; and
2. Authorize the purchase of a Sunfire V884 server, software and installation from the sole source
vendor Dynix for the Library IC_S.
DISCUSSION:
The Library Department's Dynix software is responsible for patron records, check-out records, fines,
fees, online eatalag, and inventory of materials. This software resides on a system server that is
currently 8 years old. The current server reached end-of--life cycle 2 years ago according to the six-year
industry standard for Unix servers and must be replaced.
A maintenance contract on this server is no longer available and "per calf' repairs are prohibitively
expensive.
A new server is required to continue Library operations involving over 1.2 million inventory/catalog item
records, 354,444 patron retards, thousands of purchasing records, and accounts receivable records of
outstanding fines and fees. Considering that this data is irreplaceable, the Library Department
recommends a turnkey solution whereby Dynix supplies the server, and the Library staff who are
familiar with their proprietary software, conducts the migration of operational software and records.
Funding for a new turnkey solution server is available from the spatial revenue fund set up in 1986 to
provide the means far upgrading the Library's Computer system to meet new demands for the Central
site hardware and software without impacting the General Fund. The proposed turnkey purchase of
X181.214 is exactly the type of purchase for which the fund was established.
