Contract Award for Servers and Data Storage <br /> March 1, 2010 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Two procurement processes were required for these purchases. First, for the server purchases, <br /> Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes purchase against contracts from any public <br /> agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) <br /> establishes California Multi-State Cooperative Agreements for Commodities, IT Goods & <br /> Services, and Telecommunication Goods and Services. WSCA agreements are available to all <br /> State of California governmental entities that expend public funds for the acquisition of both <br /> goods and services. GovPlace is a value added re-seller of servers, offering WSCA pricing. <br /> Since there was no WSCA pricing for data storage, a bidding event was required for the second <br /> purchase. The notice inviting bids was advertised on February 5, 2010 and bids were solicited. <br /> A summary of the bid invitations and bids received is as follows: <br /> 4 Invitations For Bid mailed <br /> 4 Bids received <br /> Bids were received and opened February 12, 2010 (Exhibit 1).
