MEETING OF THE GOVERNOR AND CABINET

AS HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY

AND MOTOR VEHICLES

November 4, 1997

AGENDA

1. Approval of the Minutes for the August 28 and September 25, 1997, Cabinet

meetings.

2. Request permission to acquire software development services from Compuware to convert the on-line driver license host programs, which are not year 2000 compliant, to Uniface, which is compliant, and to provide the Department with analysis, design, implementation and database administration assistance with the conversion of the driver and financial responsibility databases to Oracle. The conversion, which is in progress, uses an oracle database. The application software is being written in Uniface, which is a fourth generation language developed and sold exclusively by Compuware. Sole source authority was authorized by the Department of Management Services April 10, 1996, (No. E-0855) and October 28, 1996, (No. E-0190) for Uniface software licenses, technical management and training services from Compuware Corporation. In addition, we have attached our most recent sole source authorization from the Department of Management Services for this additional work.

Compuware estimates that the project will encompass approximately 10,315 hours of programming and conversion time with completion by December 31, 1998. The cost of the project is based on a rate of $125 per hour (7,892.5 hours for on-line programming and 2,422.5 hours for data conversion). Total cost will be $1,289,375.

Funds were appropriated to the Kirkman Data Center by the 1997 Legislature to contract for these services. In addition, attached is a list of other contracts this Department has with Compuware.

Attachment #2.
