A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ENTRY INTO A CONTRACT WITH RITTER COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RENEWAL FOR THE CLOUD STORAGE FOR THE CITY OF JONESBORO
body
WHEREAS, the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas, would like to renew the cloud storage with Ritter Communications for the City of Jonesboro; and,
WHEREAS, Ritter Communications will provide the city this product with the two year term contract for a yearly subscription fee of $7,000 (seven thousand dollars); and,
WHEREAS, the City of Jonesboro in accord with the terms of A.C.A. Section 14-58-303 states that bidding in this matter is not practical and would lead to an interruption in services. In addition, this service is unique to other providers in that it does not go through the internet, which significantly decreases the risk factor of cyber threats and hereby waives the requirement of competitive bidding.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JONESBORO, ARKANSAS, THAT:
Section 1. That the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas, hereby waives competitive bidding and approves the contract with RITTER COMMUNICATIONS for the two year term. A copy of said contract is attached as Exhibit A.
Section 2. The Mayor, Harold Perrin and City Clerk, Donna Jackson, are hereby authorized by the City Council for the City of Jonesboro to execute all documents necessary to effectuate the agreement.
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 17TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2019.
