ISD will be using the CMAS contract #3-18-70-2443Q to complete this purchase. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Information Services Department (ISD) maintains and secures the City Hall Data Center including the UPS systems. The UPS system is critical to provide power protection and assure continuous power delivery to the data center when power disruptions occur. The total purchase, along with five years of maintenance and support, amounts to $549,889.28. BACKGROUND One of ISD's core duties is to provide protection for the city's information technology systems. In pursuit of that, ISD maintains the data center at City Hall that contains critical operational technologies. In order to ensure near continuous operation of the data center, ISD had previously implemented an enterprise-grade, redundant UPS system. That system is approaching the end of its service life and requires replacement. The new system is engineered to provide the same level of reliability and performance as the one it replaces. Effective power protection is critical for the ongoing operations of the City Hall Data Center. Absent reliable power protection, power issues or equipment failures could result in wide-reaching impacts to city operations, including public safety. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act Section 15378, the award of this contract does not qualify as a project. LOCAL PREFERENCE Local preference was not implemented because the items are being procured utilizing competitively bid California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) contract #3-18-70-2443Q. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for this purchase is appropriated in the Information Services Department (ISD) budget for Fiscal Year 2025.
