A RESOLUTION authorizing and directing the City Manager of the City of Yakima to
execute a license agreement with SymPro, Inc., in order to license
and maintain the use of certain investment software as a sole source
purchase without calling for bids, and to execute a maintenance
agreement for said software with SymPro, Inc.
WHEREAS, Article VI, Section 6 of the City of Yakima Charter and the Yakima
Municipal Code Chapter 1.80 generally require that purchases in excess of $25,000 be
done by competitive bid, subject to certain exceptions; and
WHEREAS, the law recognizes a "sole source purchase" exception from bidding
requirements, when due to the uniqueness of the product to be purchased and the fact
there is only one source for the product, it would be futile to utilize competitive bidding;
and
WHEREAS, personnel of the City of Yakima Finance Department require the use
of fixed income investment software with certain key features, including the ability to
interface directly with general ledger packages, a true GASB 31 compliance reporting
ability, and investment reporting by individual fund, multiple funds or all funds
combined; and
WHEREAS, a search and investigation conducted by personnel from the Finance
Department indicates that the only computer software that provides all of these features
as an integrated software package is the fixed income investment software offered solely
by SymPro, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, SymPro, Inc. is willing to license said software to the City in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the attached software license agreement,
including a purchase price of $23,800.00 plus sales tax; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it would be futile to call for bids regarding a
fixed income investment software for the Finance Department as the software offered
solely by SymPro, Inc. is the only available integrated software package that provides a
number of key features required by the Finance Department; and
WHEREAS, the Finance Department also requires maintenance services
concerning said software and SymPro, Inc. is willing to provide these maintenance
(1k)res/finance/investment software/sympro/aug 01/.pm
services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the attached maintenance
agreement; and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems it to be in the best interest of the City of
Yakima to authorize execution of the attached license agreement with SymPro, Inc. for
the purchase of said investment software, and to further authorize execution of a
software maintenance agreement with SymPro, Inc., now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YAKIMA:
The City Manager of the City of Yakima is hereby authorized and directed to
execute the attached and incorporated "SymPro Software License Agreement" with
SymPro, Inc., in order to license and maintain the use of certain investment software as
a sole source purchase without calling for bids, and to also execute the attached and
incorporated "SymPro Maintenance Agreement" with SymPro, Inc. for maintenance of
said software.

Products and shall comply with the obligations upon termination set forth in Section 9 D.

hereunder, (i) effective upon written notice thereof to Licensee, in the event that Licensee fails to make full
and valid payment of the Initial License Fee when such payment is due and payable or (ii) effective upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Licensee if Licensee fails in any manner to comply with any

suspends its business at the Designated Site for a period of more than forty-five (45) continuous calendar
days, or becomes insolvent or becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy, which

liquidating officer is appointed for all or substantially all of the business of Licensee or of the Designated
Site, or if Licensee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, then, SymPro may immediately
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Licensee.
D. Obligations on Termination.
(1) Destruction or Return of Licensed Products. Upon termination of this Agreement
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9, Licensee expressly acknowledges and agrees that within thirty
(30) calendar days following such termination, Licensee shall certify and warrant to SymPro, that: (i) it has
destroyed or returned to SymPro all and every part of the Software and the Documentation and all copies
thereof, including, without limitation, any copies installed on any hard -drive or other fixed, electronic, optical,
magnetic or other media and any authorized or unauthorized modifications of the Software, or as contained in
any other form or media and (ii) that it has complied with all other terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(2) Payment. Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall immediately pay to

option, at its expense, to (a) modify the Licensed Produces to be non -infringing; or (b) obtain for Licensee a

above options, then SymPro may terminate the license for the infringing Licensed Products and refund any

Agreement regarding the use, duplication, modification, transfer or confidentiality of the Licensed Products

undertaking of any nature, Licensee specifically acknowledging that SymPro's remedies at law under such
circumstances would be inadequate.
B. Applicable Law; Forum. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
laws of the State of Washington shall govern the validity and construction of this Agreement and the
interpretation of the parties' rights and duties without reference to conflicts of laws. Each party hereto hereby
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in Yakima County, Washington.

SymPro's sole and absolute discretion). SymPro may freely assign its rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement.
E. Taxes. The License Fees exclude federal, state and local sales, use, excise, transportation,
occupational or similar taxes or assessments and all such taxes and assessments shall be the sole obligation of
Licensee.

with respect thereto, and no representations, warranties or agreements not contained in this Agreement shall
have any effect whatsoever upon the parties or upon the instant transaction. This Agreement may be amended

BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
For Meeting Of 09/18/2001
ITEM TITLE: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Yakima, Washington, authorizing
the City Manager to execute a License Agreement and a Maintenance agreement with SymPro,
Inc., as a sole source purchase, in order to license the use of certain investment software.
SUBMITTED BY: Department of Finance & Budget

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The City's current software for recording, tracking and reporting
investment activity was written in-house in the 1970's. Much has changed in the area of fixed-income
investing since then which has made this software obsolete, including;
• New accounting regulations with respect to investment accounting and reporting,
• Many new types of securities requiring special accounting and reporting treatment,
• Reports provided to City Council which are labor intensive and very time consuming due to the
lack of sophisticated Treasury Management Software

Attached is a software license agreement and a maintenance agreement for the acquisition of state of
the art Treasury Management Software from SymPro, Inc. SymPro Inc. is a leader in providing this
type of PC based software. Some of the functionality the City will gain by investing in this software,
includes:
• Interfaces directly with a number of general ledger packages. Posting can be done by
Investment Number, Fund/Manager, Transaction Date or Transaction Type. (Purchase,
Maturity/Sale or Interest.) Posting is available at either a detail or a summary level.
• Provides a true GASB 31 compliance report is provided. Encompassed in this report, for
a user specified date range, are the change in market value, interest earned, reported
value on a time weighted basis and total return.
• Investment reporting can be done by individual fund, multiple funds or all funds
combined.
• Capable of tracking and reporting the history of rate and market price changes for an
individual investment
• The system provides a report writer for ad-hoc reporting capabilities. It includes data
dictionaries, which allow for the calculated fields from the standard reports to be
captured for custom reporting purposes. Output of information can be in HTML, Label,
Excel, ASCII, Lotus, Word or Word perfect formats. There is a direct interface to Excel
which will automatically graph investment information.
• The system can perform partial sales analysis capturing the accrued interest, beginning
and ending par and book value, and gain or loss on an investment.
• Data labels in the investment screens can be customized to meet the users needs.
• There is a module available to provide for the allocation of income from a "pooled "
portfolio to the various participating sub -funds. This option provides for a wide range of
portfolio management configurations.
Because of the highly technical nature of this Treasury Management software and it's specific targeted
use in government portfolios, the Finance Department requests a sole source exemption from bidding
laws for this contract, as we have been unable to find a comparable vendor.

Additionally, SymPro Inc. provides maintenance agreements for their customers. The maintenance
feature is advisable as SymPro is constantly updating their software for new trends, regulations and
investment instruments. Staff recommends the attached negotiated maintenance agreement. This is a
one year agreement which can be renewed, or not, at our option annually. The cost of the maintenance
agreement is $2,000 per year for the first 4 years. Starting in year 5, the cost will go to $2,200 and will
continue to increase by 10% annually through year 10 at which time the City will pay SymPro's
standard maintenance fee of 18 % of the purchase price (or $3,564 annually) should we continue to
purchase the maintenance agreement.
Staff believes the purchase of this software and the related maintenance agreement will provide the
City with a valuable tool to assist in the administration, monitoring, tracking and reporting on the
City's investments and will relieve the staff of many labor intensive tasks.
