RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Information Technology Unit, a purchase order with OmniPro Systems, Inc. of San Francisco in an amount not to exceed $179,170 to procure 700 computer drives and power supplies to upgrade EHSD's fleet of desktop personal computers for the period March 15, 2017 through June 30, 2017. (10% County; 48% State; 42% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$179,170: 100% Administrative Overhead (10% County; 48% State; 42% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

With purchasing computer equipment to upgrade the department's fleet of desktop personal computers (refurbishing older computers that still have expendable life), Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) will produce more usable personal computers (PCs) at a lower cost than purchasing brand new PCs.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No. 611.0, County Departments are required to get Board approval for single item purchases greater than $100,000.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the additional computer equipment to refurbish older personal computers (PCs), Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) would have to purchase additional PCs.
