Sole Source Findings for Purchase
of Crystal Reports X1R2 Windows CPU
License for the Department of Police
I conducted an investigation for the Department of Police to determine whether Business Objects
Americas, Inc., located at 3030 Orchard Parkway, San Jose, CA, 95134, is the sole source service
provider for the "Crystal Reports X1R2 Windows CPU License" for the purpose of allowing officers,
investigators and commanders to view and print reports generated by the Field Based Reporting System,
without having to use the Mobile Digital Computers (MDC) or Law Records Management System to
include the License, Maintenance and Training included in the services. Based on my findings, I have
determined that Business Objects Americas, Inc. is the only company providing software for this type of
service and is the sole source service provider for the "Crystal Reports X1R2 Windows CPU License".
Additionally, software maintenance is exempt from the Procurement Code under Section 18-86, (A), (3),
(d), Maintenance Agreements for Proprietary Software Applications.
Funding, in the amount not to exceed $33,600.00, is from the Department of Police General Operating
Budget, Account Number 00001.19155.554000.0000.
Based on the foregoing, it is recommended pursuant to Section 18-92(a) (1), that the determination of a
sole -source purchase be rendered by the Chief Procurement Officer and that the City Manager support
said finding herein and respectfully recommend for the City Commission to ratify both the Chief
Procurement Officer and City Manager's decision by an affirmative (4/5th) four -fifths vote. Both
signatures below will affirm the sole source decision by both the Chief Procurement Officer and City
Manager.
