Council approves permission to advertise sealed bids for Microsoft software licensing
Summary
The council granted permission to advertise a three-year Microsoft software licensing contract, including Windows and Office 365, with a bid opening scheduled for Aug. 19.
The Lafayette City Council approved permission to advertise for sealed bids for Microsoft software licensing for a three-year term, covering Windows and Office 365 products. Dave Payne, purchasing manager, told the council the request covers the municipality's Microsoft suite and that the city published the advertisement on Aug. 1 and Aug. 8. Payne said the sealed-bid opening was scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 19. A council member moved and seconded the request; the council voted in favor by voice vote. Payne said the procurement follows the city's practice of periodically rebidding a long-used vendor to confirm competitive pricing. No ordinance or statute was cited on the record during the discussion. The council did not discuss dollar amounts for the licensing in the portion of the transcript provided.
