TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

DATE: November 10, 2015
RE: Purchase Pursuant to Cooperative Purchase for Network Switch- Information
Technology (IT) Division ($27,723)
BACKGROUND
With the large data and video projects that will be initiated in city divisions in 2016 and the staff
relocations within City Hall we have pushed our IT data center network switch to capacity. While the
current network switch carries a lifetime warranty, it was purchased in 2006. To maximize that
investment while looking at capacity planning for the next decade, IT recommends we invest in a new
data center network switch to increasing the robust capabilities of the city network
capacity/infrastructure and repurpose the current network switch into the public safety building for
expansion. The existing switches in the public safety building will be removed and retained as
backups in the event of any infrastructure switch failure while we wait for a replacement to arrive.
ANALYSIS
Purchasing and iT secured pricing from Wisconsin Counties Association Contract with CDWg.
(Contract # WCASI-100103D).
FISCAL IMPACT
The order will have a total fiscal impact of $27,723. Funding for this equipment would be charged to
the IT budget A/N#: 100-0110-7202-00000. This expenditure will result in an estimated $3,400
overage to the 2015 IT operating budget. Finance will adjust the 2015 IT operating budget to reflect
this expenditure overage.
RECOMMENDATION
Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City Manager,
cooperative purchases pursuant to a contract with any other local, state or federal governmental unit or
agency may be made without following a competitive bidding or quotation process. In accordance
with Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code and because this cooperative purchase is in excess of
$25,000, I am hereby submitting a report of this cooperative purchase to the Common Council. If you
have any questions on this purchase please contact me ar IT Manager Tony Neumann.
Respectfully Submitted,
