RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to issue Request for Proposals #1156 in an amount not to exceed $500,000 to update server infrastructure and to provide an integrated software solution for the period November 7, 2017 through November 6, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$500,000: Administrative Overhead (10% County, 48% State, 42% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) is seeking to update its server infrastructure and provide an integrated software solution in the management of EHSD servers. EHSD will take advantage of industry level best practices and improve the efficient use of information resources.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

EHSD has a complex multi-vender storage and compute environment, with separate vendors for compute, for storage, and for backup. The need is for a simplified environment that supports EHSD for the next 5-7 years. EHSD will also expand he environment to support a business plan that will enable EHSD services to recover at a different location from the main data center.

EHSD is anticipating that vendors will propose a complete solution, including software, hardware, training, and the related implementation services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD would not be current in best business practices.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
