Maintenance and Support, Code Publishing

Snohomish County is renewing a five‑year, sole‑source contract for maintenance and support of its proprietary “Code Publishing” legislative‑search SaaS platform. The agreement covers hosting, document conversion, indexing, software patches, feature updates, and end‑user support for the county’s code, charter, ordinances, and related documents. The vendor, Code Publishing, is the sole developer of the platform and therefore the only source capable of providing required updates and support. The contract is valued at approximately $30,000 per year ($150,000 total for the five‑year term) and includes a clause indicating the vendor’s willingness to continue for another five years under similar pricing. • Scope: SaaS hosting, maintenance, updates, document conversion, and support for the county’s legislative code system. • Sole‑source justification: Proprietary software with no alternative providers. • Financials: Estimated $30 K annually; $150 K total for the term, with a modest price increase over prior years.
