Be it resolved by the Council for the City of Pittsburgh as follows:
Section 1. The City of Pittsburgh, through the Office of Management & Budget, is hereby authorized to enter into twenty-four (24) Open-End Professional Services Agreements with multiple vendors, for two (2) year terms with up to two additional one year options, in order to provide professional services on an on-call basis as required related to IT professional services as needed by the various Departments of the City of Pittsburgh.
Section 2. Because the agreements provide services on an as-needed basis, expenditures under these agreements will be identified when work orders are issued. If funding for any work order has not been previously appropriated, funding will be identified and appropriated through subsequent City Council action. Funding is available as appropriated when listed per project in the Operating and/or Capital Budget.
Section 3. No agreement will cost an amount greater than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) per year. In no event will any estimated work order for a project issued under these agreements exceed two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in value.
Section 4. Said agreement or Agreements shall be approved by the City Solicitor as to form.
