RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, purchase orders with SSP Data, Integrated Archive Systems, Inc., Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc., and a third-party lease agreement with IBM Global Finance in an amount not to exceed $894,275, for the purchase of hardware and software required to maintain the County's wide area network, VoIP, and regional communication systems, for the period of April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2022, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of $894,275 is charged back to user departments through the Department of Information Technology's billing process. (100% Department User Fees)

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology is purchasing equipment and software to maintain the County's wide area network, security, and tape backup systems. The Purchasing Division has arranged a lease purchase contract with IBM Global Finance. The principal and interest for five annual payments has been budgeted under Org numbers 1060, 1055, and 1075 for fiscal year 2016/17.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to maintain these systems may result in reduced capacity, system failure, and interrupted business and emergency operations.
