RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Department, Information Technology Unit, to execute a purchase order with Integrated Archive Systems, in the amount not to exceed $107,922, to procure additional virtual server capacity, for the period December 16, 2014 through November 15, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$107,922: 100% Administrative Overhead (10% County; 40% State; 40% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) needs additional virtual server capacity to continue our physical server to virtual server migration. Our existing infrastructure of virtual servers is quickly approaching the system’s capacity. Adding this additional capacity will enable EHSD to continue to grow its virtual server environment. This environment will enable EHSD to bring additional technology to our staff. This would include Video / Voice conferencing, Instant Messaging, Virtual Desktops, etc. It is important as new technologies arrive on the market the EHSD is prepared to leverage them, this additional capacity will allow us too.

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No. 611.0, County Departments are required to get Board approval for single item purchases greater than $100,000

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD server capacity will not be able to handle the EHSD's needs.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
