MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 7, 2023
SUBJECT: ANNUAL CONTRACT RENEWAL FOR ENTERPRISE SOURCING
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the renewal of an annual contract for enterprise
sourcing services with Ion Wave Technologies, Inc. for the Fiscal Services
Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Fiscal Services) for an amount
not to exceed $25,400.
BACKGROUND: The Ion Wave enterprise sourcing package automates the process of
creating, issuing, awarding bids, and managing contracts. By leveraging
the system's libraries, templates, and importing capabilities, the
procurement function benefits from increased speed, automated auditing,
and the elimination of redundant data entry. It also increases vendor
participation in the bid process.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with Choice Partners a division of Harris County Department of
Education as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271 and
Texas Government Code, Section 791. This renewal contract is with Ion
Wave Technologies, Inc. for eProcurement and Contract Management
services and if approved, will be the third renewal available.
Staff recommends approval.
