RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with Datalink, in an amount not to exceed $325,500 for the 5 year lease of a Nimble CS700 storage system for the Sheriff's Tech Services Division.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$325,500. 100% General Fund, budgeted over 5 fiscal years.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff is purchasing a storage system that will meet storage needs now and for the foreseeable future. The Office of the Sheriff is in need of high speed and a large quantity of storage to efficiently get data to the deputies responding to public safety calls. The amount and type of data is constantly changing with technology and the current equipment is not able to keep up with storing and retrieval of that data.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Several vendors were contacted to discuss storage and performance. Datalink's 'Nimble' system was the only one that could not only meet the performance requirements, but also do so in the limited space allotted.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will not be able to enter into a contract with Datalink.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
