RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Groupware Technology, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $250,085 for the purchase of Pure Storage Flash Array storage expansion hardware and support services for the period from May 27, 2019 through May 26, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Information Technology (IT) currently owns PureStorage Flash Array for the Martinez and Pittsburg data center, which stores ccLink electronic medical records (EMR) data. This purchase is to expand our current storage from 12TB to 45TB. The County and PureStorage entered into an End User Agreement dated April 21, 2017 which governs the County’s use of PureStorage products.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this purchase, Health Services IT will not have enough storage space for patient Epic EMR patient data and other critical healthcare information. This could lead to loss of existing data through overwriting or loss of new data due to an inability to store it.
