Rationale: Renew “Internet Based Facilities and IT Management System Services” to Brightly Software, Inc. from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, in the amount of $33,009.48. Last year’s rate was $30,008.61.

This is to extend the services of Brightly to supply and support internet-based facilities management systems for use by Facilities and the IT Departments. These are proven assets to the District. The work order management and inventory control systems allow ready access for requesters and supervisors to information on status of work orders and inventory requests, and administrator’s access to critical benchmarking data. This information is accessible from any computer or smartphone.

It should be noted that the increase is reasonable given that the cost for the service in 2009 was $29,960.00.
