Description of BID 8205: IBM Maximo Licenses & Renewals
OPENING DATE: 3:00 PM (Our Clock) December 16, 2015
To all prospective bidders under the specifications and contract documents described above, the
following changes/additions are hereby made and detailed as follows:
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q1. It is stated that, “The City may elect where applicable, to award bids on an individual
item/group basis or on a total bid basis, whichever is most beneficial to the City.”. IBM will
not permit the city to pick and choose among vendors within a specific group of licenses. For
instance, the city could not pick some renewal licenses from one vendor and then other
renewal licenses from another. The City would however be able to choose all “Renewal”
from one vendor and all “New” from another. Is the City aware of this IBM restriction?
A1. We are likely to award all Renewal to one firm and all New to another or both Renewal
and New to one vendor, dependent upon pricing.
Q2. It is stated that “Quantities are an estimate. Final mixture of licensing ordered will be
determined based on bid responses. Unit costs are subject to change if quantities are
changed. Pricing extended from IBM is based on known quantities. Any change in the
mixture of licenses can affect your unit cost. Is the City aware of this potential confliction?
A2. The City intends to order approximately the quantities listed, but would like to know if
there is a price break for ordering more or less on the new licenses. Subscription
quantities won’t change. Provide price break information in the Price Break/Comments
column.
Q3. What is the City’s Passport Advantage Number?
A3. The City does not have a number at this time, but have completed and attached the
Enrollment form for those who need it in order to ask for and receive a quote from IBM.
Q4. May we have additional time to review the addenda and submit our bid?
A4. The dates are being extended. Revised dates are:
