Linda Tigani discusses the estimated launch costs for CORE, focusing on the development of a new database system.

CORE is working with OTI and OMB to build a core database system
The current estimated cost for the database system is approximately $208,000
This estimate may change as the components of the system are finalized
The database system is considered a launch cost as it's a new requirement for CORE
The system is necessary for handling data from city agencies and open data sources

Thank you.

You kinda answered this but just to give you another opportunity if anything was missed in your testimony, you mentioned launch costs.

3:07:33

And so do you have an estimate of what those launch costs will be?

3:07:37

I know you need to sort of wait until you understand the baseline cost for operations, but do you have a particular number for the launch costs?

At this point, we don't have a number for the launch costs for with respect to the space, but we are going to be building a core database system, and we're working closely with OTI and OMB.

3:08:01

Right now, that is priced at approximately $208,000, but that is just an estimate as we work through what are all of the components of the system that we need.

3:08:13

So we are expecting to go back to OMB with that cost.

3:08:17

We have spoken with them on numerous occasions and have filed that particular cost as a launch cost because we've never had a core database system.

3:08:28

And as noted earlier, we're taking in data across city agencies and from open data and so we need a structured system to do that.
