RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA, TO
DISPENSE WITH COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND AUTHORIZING THE DEPUTY
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE-PURCHASING TO ISSUE A SERVICE AUTHORIZATION

SYSTEM SERVICES
WHEREAS, the Library, Arts and Culture Department (LAC) currently utilizes Innovative Interfaces Incorporated (III) for integrated library systems services; and WHEREAS, Innovative Interfaces Incorporated has been the Glendale Library vendor for integrated library system services for the last ten years, and while industry standard is to change Integrated Library System (ILS) platforms at minimum every 10 years, most libraries often keep their systems for 20 years or more; and WHEREAS, Glendale’s Library cannot function without an ILS because the ILS manages all item holdings, customer registration, patron account activity, and online resources; and
WHEREAS, Library, Arts & Culture Department wishes to dispense with competitive bidding for Integrated Library System Services for one year to conduct a Request for Proposals (RFP) with a new recommendation to come before the City Council by the end of the one-year contract date of June 30, 2027; and
WHEREAS, it is in the City’s best interest to dispense with competitive bidding because it will provide staff time to conduct a RFP and successfully implement a new system if a new vendor and/or system are chosen; and
WHEREAS, Council can determine it is in the best interest of the City to dispense with competitive bidding.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE:
