RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with CDW Government, in an amount not to exceed $304,035 for equipment for Sheriff's Office Technical Services (0255) network upgrade.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$304,305 General Fund, budgeted. Funded by Sheriff's Capital Acquisition Account.

BACKGROUND:

The Sheriff's Office is finding it necessary to upgrade networking equipment in order to take advantage of the higher bandwith offered via Opteman lines for the cost of the current T1 lines. With more and more wireless devices available, the Sheriff's Office is finding it necessary to allow these devices to connect to the internet or the Sheriff's Office network. The upgraded equipment will allow this capability but will provide the security necessary to protect our network and data.
