RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Dimension Data in the amount of $167,047 for annual maintenance and support of the EMC storage and Avamar data backup system for the Epic Electronic Health Records System, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Health Services Department uses the EMC storage and Avamar backup system to hold data for the Epic Electronic Health Records System. To continue backing up and storing Epic data, Health Services is required to continue its annual maintenance and support of the EMC storage and Avamar data backup system.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval will allow the vendor to provide services through June 30, 2018. The Dimension Data Terms and Conditions of Sale require the County to defend and indemnify Dimension Data against a claim that any material or information supplied by the County infringes on an intellectual property right or copyright.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to renew maintenance support would directly impact patient care.
