Item 17 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This item extends the City's contract with FreeIt Data Solutions for the IT networking platform licenses, maintenance, and support that keep servers and storage running across every City department \u2014 including workflow tools and disaster recovery. It's the unglamorous plumbing behind everything from permit portals to 311, so a lapse in coverage touches a lot of City business. The amendment adds $2,400,000 for a revised total not to exceed $4,076,000, with $2,376,000 available in various departments' operating budgets and the rest contingent on future budgets.
