RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to execute, on behalf of the Department of Information Technology, a purchase order with Integrated Archive Systems in the amount of $118,726 for the renewal of Cisco Smartnet hardware and software maintenance of Cisco switches and network infrastructure hardware, for the period November 9, 2017 through November 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% User Fees, with costs charged to the receiving departments through DoIT's billing process.

BACKGROUND:

DOIT deploys Cisco computer network products throughout the county wide area network. These products provide reliable high-speed networks connecting all of our County departments to the central computer applications, email, and internet access. The requested purchase order will renew the Cisco annual maintenance services, which are essential for ongoing performance and reliability of the countywide area network by providing product software patches/updates and replacement of defective components.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Cisco Smartnet helps reduce risk and downtime while increasing operational efficiency and security of the county wide area network. Failure to renew this purchase order would put the County's communications and technical infrastructure at risk.
