Title

RESOLUTION - PURCHASE OF NETWORK SERVERS AND STORAGE.

Body

 

 

BACKGROUND:  Our current network server/storage system will be reaching its end of life on most of its components in July of this year.  This means that support will no longer be offered by Dell.  A needs assessment was performed by staff and our consultants, Advantage Networks Consultants. The proposed systems will double both our server and storage capacity.  This system also has growth capabilities if needed in the future.

 

Dell is offering a substantial 41% discount from the WSCA cooperative contract pricing. The total purchase amount is $82,777.34

 

RECOMMENDATION:   I recommend that we proceed with this purchase in the amount of $82,777.34 under contract number 43211500-WSCA-15-ACS and take advantage of the 41% discounted pricing.

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:                     Budgeted in fiscal year 2017 Account Number 334-6519-513.6582 Machinery & Equipment
