RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order to Dimension Data, Inc. in the amount of $300,146 for the purchase, support and maintenance of Cisco switches and network infrastructure hardware for the period from April 30, 2016 through April 29, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Much of the existing Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) network infrastructure equipment which supports the hospital, clinics, and ancillary sites has reached the end of life support with the manufacturer. This request will begin the process to replace that aging equipment, and includes the purchase, support and maintenance of the new equipment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to replace aging and end of support equipment increases the risk of an unexpected failure, and possibly an extended outage. This could impact productivity at some locations including patient care at the hospital and health clinic locations.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
