RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Groupware Technology, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $119,915 for the purchase of Dell EMC Unity Network-Attached Storage (NAS) hardware and support services for the period from November 1, 2018 through October 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Funding is included in the Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Information Technology Unit currently owns EMC Celerra storage for the Epic System. The new hardware will replace the Celerra storage. The new EMC Unity 400 NAS provides bigger storage and faster retrieval from the Epic System used by the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers. The hardware has the capability for future storage.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Customer Purchase Agreement obligates the County to indemnify Dell against any third-party claim resulting from County’s violation of Dell’s proprietary rights.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the purchase of this product, the Health Services Department won’t be able to replace the current storage and plan for future expansion for Electronic Health Record (EHR) use by Epic System for CCRMC and Health Centers, which could impact patient care and cause the Health Services Department to fall out of compliance with Federal and State regulations.
