About this file
This clarification email chain documents project manager questions and answers regarding term dates and effective start dates for the Orange County Transportation Authority's (OCTA) procurement of Rubrik Universal Cloud Licenses and Cloud Vault for Azure (Requisition R002053). The procurement seeks authorization from resellers to provide cloud licensing and backup services with a total budget of $339,298.91. The project consists of four line items: two professional services items (Cloud Native Protection Accelerator and Cloud Cluster Accelerator) with six-month terms, and two software licensing items (Rubrik Data Security as a Service Enterprise Edition and Rubrik Cloud Vault in Azure) with twelve-month terms. Project Manager Long Leu clarified that the professional services components are short-term implementation support expected to be completed within their six-month window, while the licensing components operate on standard twelve-month terms. The effective start date was indicated to be whenever the procurement process could be completed, with services to commence immediately upon procurement completion.
The cost estimate of $339,298.91 is based on market research and comprises exclusively information technology support costs, with no direct labor, overhead, materials, travel, or subcontractor expenses. The procurement requires four separate budget account transfers to fund the project. Project Manager Long Leu submitted supporting documentation including an Independent Cost Estimate (ICE), Scope of Work Verification form, and an interoffice memo explaining that this purchase represents annual support for an already-implemented product requiring a specific brand. The requisition received multiple approvals throughout April 2026, with workflow acceptance from various OCTA departments including Information Systems, accounting, and contract administration personnel.

From: Long Leu To: Desiree Fernandez Subject: RE: WORKFLOW/Action PR_APPROVAL created by LLEU Date: Monday, April 27, 2026 10:57:53 AM Attachments: R002053_ICE_Rubrik Universal Cloud License_4-16-25.pdf

Hi Desiree, Attached are ICE, SOWV, and SOWV memo.
Lines 1 & 2 state 6-months, is it only those two (2) line items that are 6-months only? These first two items listed are for professional services to help implement the software. They are good for 6months, but since they are helping us implement the software, we’ll be using it right away and will complete it before the 6 month expiration date.
Line 3 doesn’t state a term, is that 12-months? Yes, item 3 and item 4 are for 12 months. Item 3 rolled to the next page which states 12 months.
What is the effective start date, whenever?? Or? The effective start date is whenever you can complete the procurement. We will start using the services immediately.
