RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, or designee, to execute a contract extension with AT&T Corp. to extend the term through July 31, 2023. All other terms will remain unchanged.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for this contract is within the Department of Information Technology’s budget. (100% User Departments).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, DoIT will continue to be understaffed and the implementation of the email protection software will be delayed.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) is in critical need of support services in our wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) division due to the retirement of a key staff member and other staffing shortages. While the department is actively recruiting to fill several vacancies, AT&T is able to provide temporary support services to fill this critical void. Once permanent staff is on board, the need for this temporary solution will no longer be necessary. The division is currently implementing a new Countywide email security software platform which guards against malware and non-malware threats and protects against advanced email breaches, and the division needs immediate assistance with the software implementation.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None
