Page 1 of 2 STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL DATE: October 20, 2020 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager SUBJECT: Purchase of Computers, Related Equipment, and Services from Synnex Corporation/ConvergeOne Prepared by: Tim Eisler, Information Systems Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approving the purchase of computers, related equipment, and services in excess of $45,000 from Synnex Corporation/ConvergeOne for the City’s daily business operations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Computers, Related Equipment, and Services from Synnex Corporation/ConvergeOne. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funding to purchase computer-related supplies is included in the General Fund Budget and Internal Service Fund Budget approved by the City Council as part of the annual budget process. DESCRIPTION: The City routinely replaces computer servers and related network equipment when these items reach the end of service life, currently defined as seven years or longer for servers and network equipment. The City has typically utilized Cisco computer server and network equipment for its phone system, purchased and implemented through ConvergeOne. The quality and customer service of ConvergeOne implementation and managed services has been well received by Staff. Purchases thus far in Fiscal Year 2020-21 have been under the $45,000 threshold outlined in the Municipal Code and have therefore not required City Council approval. In preparation for the next round of equipment updates, Staff is requesting the City Council’s approval to continue to use ConvergeOne for phone system products and support, which will push the total vendor cost to over $45,000 this year. Furthermore, Staff seeks the City Council’s approval to waive the competitive bidding Page 2 of 2 process for these purchases, via Section 2.36.100.A.9 of the City Municipal Code. This section provides an exemption to a competitive bidding process when another public agency has administered a competitive bidding process and has a current valid agreement for the same or substantially similar consultant or professional services, general services, supplies or equipment. ConvergeOne is an authorized reseller of Synnex Corporation, who offers its products to local government agencies based on a contract with the NCPA Region XIV Education Service Center program. The NCPA Region XIV Education Service Center contract (Attachment 2) was competitively bid and is a Master Contract that can be utilized by registered local government agencies. The City of Dublin joined NCPA on May 5, 2020. The vendor rating sheet is provided as Attachment 3. As such, Staff is seeking the City Council’s approval of a resolution (Attachment 1) approving such purchases in excess of $45,000 annually through Synnex Corporation/ConvergeOne, for the duration of the NCPA Region XIV Education Service Center contract to July 31, 2022. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin hereby authorizes the City Manager to procure computers, related equipment, and services in excess of $45,000 from Synnex Corporation/ConvergeOne, subject to available budget appropriation, under a purchasing agreement publicly bid by NCPA Region XIV Education Service Center through the term of the contract.
