RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Department of Information Technology, purchase orders with Sirius Computer Solutions, Locus Diagnostics, and Integrated Archive Systems, and a third-party lease agreement with IBM Credit, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $1,380,000, for the purchase of computer equipment for the period of March 1, 2018 through March 31, 2022, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of $1,380,000 is charged back to user departments through the Department of Information Technology’s billing process. (100% Department User Fees)

BACKGROUND:

The Purchasing Division has arranged lease purchasing financing with IBM Credit, LLC. The amount needed to cover the principal and interest has been budgeted for fiscal year 2017/18.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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