AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approved and authorize the Executive Director to execute Purchase Order 17534 and associated disbursements with CVE Technologies Group, Inc. under State of Utah Contract AR3227 for $1,008,555.69 to procure the selected hardware and associated software and licensing.
BACKGROUND:
These are life-cycle replacements in the state-of-good repair process defined in the 10-year IT strategic plan. These networking devices have reached the end of their serviceable life and will be replaced with new equipment by the Network Support group.
DISCUSSION:
Below is a description of the devices to be procured under this Purchase Order:
Data Center Switch Replacement
Twenty-two (22) networking devices are part of the centralized data center, which supports JD Edwards (JDE), Trapeze, department and user home drives, backup and recovery infrastructure, UTA’s passenger counting system, and telephony, including call centers. These replacements are located in the Downtown Data Center. This will be funded with planned SGR capital dollars.
Division Switch Replacement
Fifty-four (54) networking devices are part of each UTA facility, which support user access to daily applications such as JDE, email, internet, department and user home drives, and Wi-Fi. These device replacements are located at multiple UTA facilities. This will be funded with planned SGR capital dollars.
X Switch replacement
Eighteen (18) networking devices are part of the UTA Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) platform network, which supports digital signage, security cameras, fare validators, and any additional networking equipment on these platforms. These replacements are on multiple platforms across the system. This will be funded with planned SGR capital dollars.
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) Systems
Fifteen (15) UPS systems support the networking devices with power when power outages occur and power spikes. These devices allow the switches at multiple UTA locations to stay up and running during a power outage. The switches support applications such as JDE, email, internet, department and home drives, and Wi-Fi. This will be funded with planned SGR capital dollars.
