39. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT WITH OPENGOV, INC. TO PROVIDE REPORTING TRANSPARENCY WEBSITE Approve a Competition Impractical Procurement, Maricopa County Procurement Code, MCI-351, with OpenGov, Inc. in the amount of $746,986 over a three year term ($338,246 in year 1, $204,370 annually for years 2 and 3) to support the OpenGov web-based platform. Also, approve repurposing funding in the amount of $702,000, approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 9, 2016, for purposes of legacy network maintenance, to partially fund this contract. Other accumulated savings in the FY 2016 Office of Enterprise Technology budget will cover the remaining funding requirement. OpenGov software is a web-based platform that will provide financial and non-financial information to both internal and external users. It provides an intuitive, user-friendly interface that allows users to easily access the County's financial and budgetary information. Over 1,000 governments around the nation have launched the OpenGov platform in an effort to make government finances more transparent, build civic engagement and increase community trust. The software makes it easy for users to see financial and non-financial data in both a graphical/visual format as well as raw numbers, enabling simple analysis of trends over time as well as side by side comparisons. On March 9, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved NTE funding of $702,000 for increased costs associated with SmartNet maintenance in the FY 2016 Operating Major Maintenance program. The earlier than anticipated removal of legacy network equipment and related maintenance costs, along with other expenditure savings, has resulted in a forecasted $800,000 in savings in the Office of Enterprise Technology FY 2016 budget to cover the cost of this contract.
