RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH UNISYS CORPORATION
FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE FOR
THE UNISYS MAINFRAME COMPUTER AND WAIVING THE
FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS
WHEREAS, in September of 1990, the City of Chula Vista installed a new
mainframe computer, the Unisys V-430; and
WHEREAS, maintenance on the computer for one year was included as part of
the initial purchase price; and
WHEREAS, from September, 1991 until a contract was negotiated in July,
1992, Unisys provided the City with maintenance on a month to month basis; and
WHEREAS, in July, 1992 the City entered into a three-year maintenance
agreement with Unisys Corporation, which agreement has now expired; and
WHEREAS, staff has been working with Unisys on terms and conditions for a
new maintenance contract; and
WHEREAS, the new contract is for three years and includes features requested
by the City such as an annual rate cap and several performance thresholds which must be met
by Unisys; and
WHEREAS, staff has researched maintenance services and found that of the
two local vendors identified that offer service contracts for the Unisys V-430, only Unisys
maintains any inventory of V-430 spare parts to provide the City with an acceptable level of
protection; and
WHEREAS, software maintenance is only offered by Unisys since it is a
proprietary product and it is therefore recommended that the formal bidding process be
waived.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby waive the formal bidding process contained in Chula Vista Municipal Code
Chapter 2.56.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby approve an Agreement with Unisys Corporation for the maintenance of hardware and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized and directed to execute said Agreement for and on behalf of the City of Chula
Vista
