Report
Summary
The City of Phoenix utilizes OpenGov, Inc. for its Open Data Portal, which provides transparent and easy-to-use data to residents and businesses regarding areas such as public safety, transportation, finance, energy and sustainability, libraries, parks, and arts and culture. The solution is a cloud-based platform that simplifies or eliminates on-premise storage, infrastructure, indexing, retrieval, data management, and presentation. Funding is for maintenance and support, technical assistance, hosting, and performance dashboards. Failure to renew support and hosting for the portal would result in the City no longer having an open data site for residents and businesses who utilize the data for informational or data analytics purposes.
Contract Term
This contract was originally awarded for a one-year term on Feb. 1, 2017, with approval of annual maintenance and support to continue annually, as long as it is in the City's best interest. The City renews this contract annually, and this request is for the fifth year, ending Feb. 28, 2022.
Financial Impact
With the $203,330 in additional funds, the contract's revised aggregate value is approximately $954,147. Funds are available in the Information Technology Services Department's operating budget.
