REQUESTED: Approve the award of Project # EX020768, the
purchase of Novell network products and GroupWise licensing and maintenance,
for the Lee County Information Technology Group (ITG), at the prices listed
in the Florida State Contract, from Software House International. Grand total cost: $137,476.62. It should be noted that, per the contract, the pricing for this
software may change on a monthly basis.
Therefore, Board approval is requested to expend the additional monies
– if necessary – to complete this purchase should the pricing change between
Board approval and the issuance of a purchase order. WHY ACTION

Payment Procedures Manual exempts “the purchase of equipment that has gone
through the Administrative Code Procedure, such as State Contracts or Federal
General Services Administration Schedules, providing the purchase, rental, or
lease amount does not exceed $50,000.00”. As this expenditure will exceed $50,000.00, Board approval is
required. WHAT ACTION
ACCOMPLISHES: Provides Lee County with licensing and maintenance
for the Novell software products currently in use (NetWare, GroupWise, and
ZenWorks) for the period of 2/1/02 through 9/30/03. This software enables County users to access and share network
files, communicate via GroupWise e-mail, and allows ITG staff to monitor and

Payment Procedures Manual exempts “the purchase of equipment that has gone
through the Administrative Code Procedure, such as State Contracts or Federal
General Services Administration Schedules, providing the purchase, rental, or

As this expenditure will exceed $50,000.00, Board approval is
required. WHAT ACTION
ACCOMPLISHES: Provides Lee County with a new hardware and
software solution which is necessary to implement a computer network-based
telephone system and Call Center.
Known in the industry as Voice over IP (V/IP), this technology will
