FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund and the Document Management Fund for an estimated amount of $145,325. BACKGROUND: Laserfiche is a system that automates, streamlines, and manages digital records in a way that makes them easily retrievable, searchable, and shareable while adhering to common record management principles. The City began the process of digitizing and cataloging documents in 2014. Since that time, over four million pages have been stored digitally. The catalog includes documents such as: City Charter, ordinances, budgets, Human Resource records, agendas, minutes, contracts, development plans, development permits, fire prevention data, inspections, public safety training records, Police records, Public Works plats, and much more. The system integrates with our City website, which makes documents easily accessible to the public. It also provides for secure staff access to initiate, route, and approve documents ranging from agenda memos to approving invoices. These functions have been extremely valuable during COVID-19 by providing secure staff access regardless of location. This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791. IT, the City Secretary's Office, and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for departmental specifications compliance and pricing and determined that this contract would provide the best service and pricing for meeting the needs of the City. Staff recommends approval.
