SUBJECT:Extend bid from The Drala Project, Inc., Hermosa Beach, California ($54,167) for a Dell server and networking cables.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends extension of bid.
BACKGROUND:

On May 10, 2023, Council accepted the bid from The Drala Project, Inc. for two Dell VxRail S670 servers and twenty Dell networking cables providing storage for the City’s important documents with a secure infrastructure that supports a full range of modern workloads and objectives.  The Technology Services division has since received and deployed those units.  An additional order of one (1) Dell VxRail S670 server unit and four (4) Dell networking cables is necessary for replacement of an existing server that is end-of-life.

 

The Drala Project, Inc. has agreed to extend the same per unit cost for one (1) Dell VxRail S670 server unit and four (4) Dell networking cables.  Funds are budgeted in the Equipment Management fund for this purchase.

 

Staff recommends extension of bid and authorization to purchase one (1) Dell VxRail S670 server unit and four (4) Dell networking cables from The Drala Project, Inc., Hermosa Beach, California in the amount of $54,167.
