Purchase of Network Server Hardware (Lifecycle Upgrade Replacement) for the Department of Innovation and Technology (Citywide)
The Internet Edge routers on the City network are used to connect the City to multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The new hardware will replace aging equipment, and allow the City to introduce additional ISPs to support Wi-Fi expansion, the initiative to provide Internet to students in underserved communities, and other Smart City efforts.
The Department of Innovation and Technology and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract and lowest quoted vendor, Enterprise Network Solutions, at $50,000, based on estimated requirements. This purchase is funded by the Department of Innovation and Technology Lifecycle Program Budget.
