Item 19 Passed 10-0
Authorize an amendment to a contract for continued Canva graphic design platform with CDW LLC d/b/a Sirius Computer Solutions, LLC, CDW Government, to increase the amount by $310,000 for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $385,852. Funding: $130,000 is available in the Operating Budget of Austin Communications and Engagement. Funding for the remaining contract term is contingent upon available funding in future budgets.
The city wants to keep using Canva, the graphic design platform, for its Communications and Engagement team, and this would amend the existing contract with CDW LLC to add $310,000 — bringing the total to no more than $385,852. Of that, $130,000 is already in the current operating budget, while the rest depends on funding in future budgets. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes software deal that keeps City staff making flyers, social posts, and public-info graphics.
