RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Department, a Purchase Order with Tach Tech, and execute support terms and subscription agreement in an amount not to exceed $534,803.20 to purchase hardware, subscription and support for hardware.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in annual expenditures of up to $534,803.20 as budgeted by the department in FY 2021-22, 100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) current infrastructure consists of 3020 firewall pair at Pittsburg and Concord, and is used to support the hospital, clinics, and ancillary sites, and all users are connected to and rely on this equipment for connectivity. Current infrastructure is reaching end of life and in need of being replaced. Support is mandated under the County’s agreement with Epic and is necessary to prevent failures.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to renew the hardware increases the risk of an unexpected failure, and possibly an extended outage. This could negatively impact the patient medical systems and patient care at the hospital and health clinic locations.
