☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Public Defender's Office, a purchase order with R-Computer in the amount not to exceed $1,992 for the purchase of Adobe Premiere Pro for enterprise, and an Adobe End User License Agreement for the period from May 19, 2025 through September 24, 2026 for Adobe Acrobat Pro License.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% County General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
CCPD seeks to renew the Adobe Premiere Pro for enterprise software that enables CCPD to create, redact, and convert PDF documents quickly and efficiently. Adobe’s End User License Agreement (EULA) includes an indemnification provision from the County to Adobe for any claims based on the County’s use of the software. The EULA also contains a limitation of liability capping Adobe’s liability to the amount paid for the software.
This action is a renewal of the Adobe Acrobat Pro licenses through a reseller, R-Computer. R-Computer, an SBE, is an authorized reseller of Adobe Acrobat Pro software.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
CCPD will not have the tools to provide indigent legal services as mandated.
