RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to execute, on behalf of the County Administrator, a purchase order with R-Computer in an amount not to exceed $214,138 for servers and related hardware and maintenance support for the County budget system upgrade.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund

BACKGROUND:

The County Administrator's Office is requesting to purchase new servers and related hardware and maintenance support for the upgrade to the County Budget System. In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 611.0, County Departments are required to obtain Board approval for single item purchases over $100,000. The Department of Information Technology has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will proceed with an upgrade to the budget system without replacing existing hardware. Without the new servers the full benefit of the new software will not be realized.
