RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff – Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with AT&T Corp., in the amount not to exceed $335,920 to provide field engineer services to support the Office of the Sheriff's Technical Services Division for period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% County General Fund; Budgeted.

BACKGROUND:

Network security products were purchased as part of a new Administration building at 1850 Muir Road in Martinez. The security products are partially implemented, mainly wireless guest network connection is established, which was the minimum requirement for building opening. This wireless connection serves Emergency Operations Center housed in the administration building. Sheriff's Office Technical Services needs to acquire knowledge and resource support for full implementation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the Sheriff’s Office network service, including the contract agencies, will incur more issues simply due to not being able to button up security measures and maintenance support that will continue to go unmitigated. Issues such as network security compromises – ransomware, malware attacks, server and application failures.
