RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Information Technology recommends that we encumber funds for the Microsoft Enterprise Support Services. It is established Microsoft Solutions is the sole provider of City’s software and continuing support and maintenance is the most reasonable and efficient way to meet the objective of the organization. In light of this, we have requested and formally received an MWBE Waiver.
