Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
The Department of Information Technology recommends approval of this request. The approved authorization will ensure continuity of IT operations for enhanced resiliency of the Fulton County network.
Scope of Work: The scope of work includes a reserve of networking equipment (switches and wireless access points) that can be immediately deployed for outages where repair of equipment may be lengthier resulting in service delays for our citizens. It also includes a small reserve for libraries that were renovated several years ago where warranties have now expired.
Community Impact: Increased reliability, availability and heightened secure access for staff and citizens to County applications and services.
Department Recommendation: The department recommends this project.
Project Implications: Lack of approval will result in the inability to immediately deploy networking equipment in the event of an outage. Repairs will still be pursued as part of any existing warranties; however, repairs can be a lengthy process resulting in longer than desired down-time. This reserve will get us up and running timelier.
Community Issues/Concerns: There are no community issues with this project.
Department Issues/Concerns: There are no departmental issues with this project.
Contract Modification: This is a new request.
