Award a contract to Govplace for the purchase of servers in an amount not
to exceed $39,651.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department utilizes technology in various ways to
maintain operational and administrative support in addressing crime related
issues within the City. The primary database computer server is over 6
years old and is beyond the manufacturer's end-of-life for service. The
server currently supports the department's Intranet, case tracking, report
writing module, records management system, evidence and more. Updates to
many of these applications have been delayed due to the technology
inadequacies and limited capacities of this server.
The Information Services Division (ISD) provides all support for servers in
the Santa Ana Police Department Data Center. ISD seeks to upgrade this
obsolete server and expand the related virtualization computing
environment. This will allow the consolidation of many other older systems
into a much smaller number of newer systems. This approach will not only
save in up-front hardware costs but also in recurring power and cooling
costs. Most importantly, critical SAPD computer systems will be made more
reliable and will be able to host enhanced computer applications supporting
SAPD operations.
The Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against
contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The
Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) establishes California Multi-
state Cooperative Agreements for Commodities, IT Goods & Services, and
Telecommunication Goods and Services. WSCA agreements are available to all
State of California governmental entities that expend public funds for the
acquisition of both goods and services. Govplace is a value added re-seller
offering WSCA pricing.
