Our Data Network equipment also provides firewall protection for all of the City's intranet connections.This <br /> agreement is for hardware and software maintenance protecting the City Data Network against failure for the contract year <br /> beginning March 21,2016. <br /> Reasons for the expected increase of$3,261.30 over last year was a 3%overall contract increase which falls within contract <br /> I expectations,a blade server came off of warranty and was added to the support contract,and several key network components <br /> which were upgraded from 8 hour,5 day coverage to 7 day,24 hour coverage with a 4 hour response instead of next day. <br /> Renewal of this agreement entitles the City to receive hardware component replacement for failed equipment,around the clock <br /> technical support from network engineers,and ongoing software updates. This is a routine annual expense. <br /> Netech is quoting both one-year and three-year renewal options. We are recommending the one year option for this renewal. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: None <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None anticipated <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Gerard J.Bauer,Assistant City Manager(424-2801)Jim Edwards,MIS Manager(450-2236) <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> Budget Impact: The funding for this project will be paid from the MIS Division operating budget and is provided for in the <br /> approved FY2016 City budget. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Data Network Maintenance Resolution Resolution Letter <br /> Data Network Maintenance Quote I3ackup�laterial <br /> REVIEWERS: <br /> Department Reviewer Action Date <br /> �lanagementSer�-ice5 T�us_F�illy �'��prc�lea 3;30/�O1G- 11:18AN1 <br /> https:Udecatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=493 4/U2016 <br />
