CONSENT
To: Board of Directors
From: Ian Fitzgerald
Date: July 16, 2014
Subject: Consideration of the Purchase of Server Storage Hardware
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Board approval is required for expenditures in excess of$15,000.
2. HISTORY
The District currently operates 43 virtual servers and 60 virtual desktop computers. In
order to allow for additional servers and increase data storage of our video
surveillance, we need to expand capacity of our server storage environment.
3. NEW INFORMATION
Current server failover capacity is maxed out at 75%, and storage resource is now at
85% capacity. The proposal for increase storage capacity will allow for an increase in
performance and scalability for both server and desktops.
Section 3.08.060 of the District's code (Joint Purchasing with the State of California
and other public agencies) permits the District to take advantage of other agencies low
bids providing that competitive procurement procedures were followed. The costs
proposals are submitted on the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA), which
adheres to this section of the District code.
SHI (computer hardware company) has put together a WSCA quote for $33,733 that
will increase server capacity by 50%, dedicating storage for video surveillance, and
improving read/write performance. The quote is included as Attachment 1.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds exist in the FY14 Budget for the purchase of the computer server
hardware and software. There is also a 10% contingency allowance for any potential
change orders.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of the proposed server storage hardware with SHI for the
amount of$33,733 plus a 10% contingency, not to exceed $37,106.
