RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, Department of Information Technology, a purchase order with Dell in the amount of $215,000 to procure 30 Dell Mobile Precision 5760 laptops for the Workday financial management system modernization project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost for this purchase will be funded through the General Fund Reserves.

BACKGROUND:

The County has fully embarked on the implementation phases of the Workday financial management modernization project. In order to stay on track with the aggressive timeline, the implementation vendor, Accenture, will assign additional staffing resources to assist. Additional computers are required to accommodate these added resources.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, the County will not have the tools necessary to accommodate the needs of additional staffing resources.
