Subject: Approval of and authorization for the Support Services Department to 9u' W55 purchasing
rules and acquire $32,100.00 in computer hardware (plus the cost of shipping) from the firm of ihavelT
( AVNET).
Background Summary:
The Adopted FY 2013 Budget includes a line item funding the replacement of two servers with similar
large -scale units having onboard disk drives (see p. 3 -42). The City Commission approved the shared
use of FY 2013 budgets for Computer Equipment /Software operating expense (Account No. 001- 516 -00-
5235) and $46,000 for Computer Equipment/Software capital outlay (Account No. 001 - 516- 00- 6405)at its
December 4, 2012 meeting. Subsequent to that action, the City Commission authorized staff to contract
with Clear Village for a complete review of the existing computing infrastructure and to make
recommendations for improvement. Those recommendations were reviewed and endorsed by the City's
IT Steering Committee.
One of those recommendations is to move from a server strategy that puts disk drives into each server to
a shared system of network - attached disk drives that are available to all servers; i.e., a storage area
network (SAN). In addition to making it easier to reallocate data storage space to specific needs as they
change, this approach also allows the City to use smaller and cheaper servers and to add more disk
drives as the need warrants. This approach provides faster performance without higher cost and offers
the opportunity to distribute the data management workload across multiple members of City staff. City
staff was able to secure two price quotes for a complete installation. Reliant Technologies at $36,910.00
and ihavelT at $32,100.00.
Issue:
Should the City Commission award a purchase order in the amount of $32,100.00 to ihavelT to replace
the existing computer server and data storage system?
Recommendations
The Support Services Department recommends that the City Commission authorize staff to award a
purchase in the amount of $32,100.00 to ihavelT, an AVNET company, pursuant to the scope of work
and price proposal dated May 9, 2013, plus the cost of shipping. This purchase of refurbished and new
equipment will save the City over $250,000 compared to the normal retail cost of all -new equipment.
Since this purchase is for an amount in excess of $25,000, the City's purchasing rules require
competitive bidding; however, the marketplace for refurbished computing equipment does not operate in
a manner that supports such a bidding process. Staff therefore recommends the purchasing rules be
suspended in order to make this cost - saving purchase, which is time critical.

Subject: RE: DS5020 Quote
Hi Chuck,
Here's the same config on a ds5300. It would require two expansion shelves to hold the 32 drives. The 4 x HBA's for
your dell servers would run $150 /ea.
I'll get a quote on V party Avnet maintenance on this one. Would you be interested in rolling any other equipment into
the same plan? The r710's for example, if they are coming off Dell warranty we can combine these into the same
contract as the IBM DS5300.
I just need the address where these will be in use to get the quote.
Total price - $31,500 + coo ° 3 d-7 I o0
