Title
Award of Contract to CDW for Network Switch Upgrade
Body
Council Goals or Statutory Requirements:
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Authorize the Town Manager to execute a contract with CDW in the amount of $117,599.00 for the upgrade of the Town’s network switch infrastructure.
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
A switch is arguably one of the most important elements of any organization’s networking infrastructure, interconnecting all of the local devices. This replacement will provide reliable and expandable networking capabilities to the Town’s computer network infrastructure and enhance cybersecurity for the Town. Existing equipment is past end of life, and does not have easily replaceable or serviceable parts if there is a failure. Upgrade will lay the foundation for increased network service levels and security, including but not limited to redundancy and network segmentation, and redundant routing and failover capabilities.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
This project is budgeted in the FY 2016-17 Capital Improvement Plan for $119,000. The total cost of $117,599 includes hardware, professional services, and a 10% contingency.
