RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with NWN Corporation in the amount of $104,091.22 for data and server storage over a 5 year warranty period, Martinez area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Various Public Works Road, Flood, and special revenue funds.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The current 65 TB storage hardware is no longer expandable for future growth. We are also now out of warranty on 8 nodes and going out of warranty on another 4 nodes. The department needs to replace these to allow for 5 years’ worth of data growth as well as keeping hardware under warranty contract. This new storage solution will be on a 5 year replacement cycle for the Public Works Department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Department has an aging storage solution that is falling out of warranty and is no longer expandable in size.
