To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, and originally submitted on Aug. 3, 2017. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.
Thanks for your help, and let me know if further clarification is needed.

This is in response to your e-mail request dated August 3, 2017, for "all documents related to the Plumas County contract with IBM to purchase permitting software, including the original contract, the date, implementation and maintenance costs, total cost, contract duration, and all services rendered."
Your request is unclear because of the term "permitting software. " Plumas County has no public records meeting the description of this request. By way of explanation, Plumas County's permitting software was developed in-house by County IT staff. As an in-house development we have no contract for the purchase of this system. The software used for the development of this system is the Informix 4GL suite of database solutions including a relational database and accompanying 4GL programming language. In recent years the Informix product was purchased by IBM corp. and is now marketed through them. Plumas County however purchased this development system in 1992 and has used it since to develop in-house a variety of software solutions for use by County departments.

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your thoughtful response. Do you pay an annual fee for the IBM software? If so, we would be interested in that contract and/or invoice.
Best wishes,
Justine

Justine,
Attached is the invoice for the annual Informix software support for Plumas County. Some information has been omitted that might compromise Plumas County’s access to support services (account numbers and login information for support services) The software support is purchased through a third party vendor (Strategy 7 corp.). The contract from IBM (passport advantage) is available here https://www-01.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pa_agreements.html
Let me know if you need any further information.

Hi Dave,
Thank you. We are after a contract for building permit software. Do you have one with Informix?
