2 • Virtualization Platform: The underlying virtualized infrastructure will remain in operation to support other production services. However, a strategic review and phased upgrade of this platform are planned to ensure long-term sustainability and supportability. In conclusion, while the specific virtual servers and their OS/database will be decommissioned, the virtualized platform will continue to operate and support other critical services until a planned upgrade can be executed. 2. The SOW for the software migration says there is no need for travel to the agency (Pleasanton) because the agency does not need any on-site resources. So is all of the work by Accela to be done remotely? A. Correct. All work or troubleshooting errors/problems would be done remotely. 3. Did this go out to bid (any requirement to do so) for an RFP to see if another vendor is more cost-effective and/or provides better service? A. The agreement with Accela is proposed as a sole-source contract, which is allowable under the City’s purchasing policy provided that certain criteria are met. The City has been contracting with Accela since approximately 2010 and the Accela land management platform was launched in May 2011. Staff has explored other vendors over the years, however, the initial cost to transfer to a new vendor software is very expensive and the on-going annual maintenance costs would be relatively the same as Accela. Transferring to a new vendor would also require a significant amount of dedicated City staff time from multiple departments to implement the new software, beta test, and roll-out to the public, as well as costs for technical assistance from a third-party vendor to support the transition. Agenda Item #7 1. What is the relationship between Ridge View Commons LLC and Eden Investments Inc.? A. Ridge View Commons LLC is a single member LLC and the General Partner of the Ridge View Commons II Associates, L.P. (the new owner of Ridge View Commons Apartments). Eden Investments, Inc., (EII) is entirely controlled by Eden Housing, Inc., a non-profit entity that is the sole member of the single member LLC; Eden’s board is the same as EII’s Board. Eden Housing, Inc. through its control of EII is the controlling entity of the new Ridge View Commons II Associates, L.P. This partnership structure is standard and consistent for all tax credit-funded projects. 2. The only change is the lease term (so that renovations can occur and tax credits can be received), correct? No other changes? A. The only change to the terms made since the last City Council meeting is to change the lease term from 75 years to 85 years. Other changes in the terms
