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 $412,701 to procure 500 personal computers over the period May 15, 2018 through May 14, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase expenditures by up to $412,701 (FY2017/18-$82,540; FY2018/19-$330,161), and will be paid out of Administrative Overhead (48% Federal, 42% State, 10% County).

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Information Technology (IT) unit, will be replacing some user personal computers (PC) with "Tiny" PCs as it meets space, cost, and technical requirements. EHSD has made notable space considerations in efforts to maximize the number of staff in the department's facilities. By using "Tiny" PCs, the department can house the PCs on the back of monitors, eliminating the need to take up desk space. This also enables EHSD to make cubicles smaller while providing the necessary tools for staff to perform their job assignments.

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:

The Employment and Human Services Department will not have enough computers for staff and public use labs.
