Mot/on cmTied. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Anderson, Kurak, and Zimmerman. Voting No: Councilmember Hendriksen. Case #15: Approve the Bid from Govdocs.com to Provide Internet Access and Delivery Service of the City's Public Documents to Citizens City Administrator Norman stated that GovDocs.com is a company that offers an internet based document access and delivery system for public agencies and their documents. Their service allows intemet users the ability to have access to public documents that are of an interest to them. GovDocs.com offers risers search capability, subscriptions to recun'ing documents, renewal notices for licenses or permits, and notifications of changes to regulations or other documents. GovDocs.com does not design web pages or sites. They simply use logos submitted to them l'or the City's document access site and link to the City's own web site. Based on information provided by staff, GovDocs.com was able to put together an estimate of the cost providing document delivery service for the City of Ramsey. GovDocs.com proposes to assign an account manager for ongoing maintenance and updates to the City. Phone support is available to City staff during regular business hours and e-mail support is also available with a two hour response time during regular business hours. The term of the contract would be 12 months and would renew automatically for another consecutive 12 month period if no notice is given. City Attorney Goodrich noted that the contract can be terminated with a 30 day written notice, but there is a 15 percent charge for the remainder of the agreement. Councihnember Hendriksen stated that after reviewing the contract he thinks it is very expensive for what they are receiving and the contract costs would only be the tip of the ice berg. He stated that he supports the concept, but would like to research other possibilities. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to table action and decline to enter into a contract with GovDocs.com. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Zimmerman, Anderson, and Kurak. Voting No: None.
