RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Dell, in an amount not to exceed $400,834 to procure Dell VxRail storage servers, professional services and support for the period May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2027.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in expenditures of up to $400,834 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Department (HSD) Information Technology currently owns Dell Compellent storage which will End-of-Support by March 2022. The new VXRail will be installed at the Concord and Pittsburg Data Centers with 5-year Dell ProSupport Mission Critical Services. The new hardware is a replacement for Dell Compellent which supports OnBase application, and CCLink data support Telehealth project for additional 200 thin clients use by Hospital and clinics throughout Contra Costa County. The new equipment suite will provide high-performance security for encrypted traffic, robust traffic inspection at high outputs, capabilities to support faster connection speeds, and upgrade capabilities for additional expansion capacity to support expected future growth. The professional services and support provided by Dell through this purchase will be governed by the Customer Purchase Agreement for Products and Services, dated February 14, 2017, between Dell and the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this item is not approved, the quality of patient care could be negatively impacted without the purchase of this product suite. If the EOL equipment is not replaced, HSD will be unable to accommodate secured faster data link connectivity or provide future expansion capacity for infrastructure.
