Approve and Execute Amendment 7 to the Web Hosting and Codification Services Agreement Between Snohomish County and General Code, LLC

body

DEPARTMENT:  Information Technology

 

ORIGINATOR:  Dee White

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved

 

PURPOSE: The purpose of this ECAF is to approve and execute Amendment 7 to the Web Hosting and Codification Services Agreement between Snohomish County and General Code, LLC, which will extend the Agreement through October 7, 2031.

 

BACKGROUND: Every department of Snohomish County is a consumer of County Code directing its operations.  Both the public and private sector benefit from an accurate and accessible presentation of the Snohomish County Code. In March 2012 the County issued RFP-07-12 to procure a vendor hosted automated online code system for users to readily search, find, and retrieve applicable Snohomish County laws.  In addition, presentation of an automated County Code benefits a wide varied audience.  As a result of the competitive search via RFP-07-12, the County Evaluation Team rated the Code Publishing, LLC, proposal with the highest score overall, and a master contract was negotiated with Code Publishing, LLC to provide the services. In accordance with Sole Source 006-21BT and Sole Source 26-0696JM, Code Publishing, LLC is the only vendor that provides proprietary software updates for the services. An agreement was executed in 2012 and was amended in 2013, 2014, 2019, 2021, 2024, and 2025 to include other County departments, add functionality, extend the agreement, and increase the contract amount. Code Publishing, LLC was acquired by General Code, LLC in 2021.  The County desires to continue the services for another five-year term through October 7, 2031.  The additional cost for services from October 8, 2026 through October 7, 2031 shall not exceed $150,000.
