FY23 Maintenance Renewal Authorization - Cisco Hardware Maintenance
Submitted By:	Greg Elliott
Department:	Information Technology
Request Type:	CONSENT	Agenda Area:	Award

Information

Department Action

The Information Technology department is requesting award of the county Cisco hardware maintenance agreement, a budgeted FY23 maintenance expense, as a three-year contract sold by Red River Technologies and funded through Key Government Finance. Red River Technologies is the lowest cost offer to Collin County for Cisco Maintenance based on a cooperative quote process. This three-year contract arrangement is similar to the expiring maintenance agreement currently in effect for the county owned Cisco hardware. See attached documentation regarding pricing.

The three-year agreement represents savings over the cost of a single year renewal plan and gives the county the ability to add and delete items to the maintenance agreement as equipment is added to or removed from our network.

As with any other multi-term agreement, non-appropriation clauses are in effect per state statute should the court elect not to fund our Cisco maintenance in future fiscal years.

Purchasing Department Action

Request Commissioners Court consideration and approval for award of 2023-128, Cisco Maintenance for Hardware, through the DIR contract DIR-TSO-4167 to Red River Technology, LLC. Also requesting Commissioners Court consideration and approval of award for a three (3) year period per the attached agreement with Cisco System's capital financial partner, Key Government Finance; authorization for Purchasing Agent to execute the Payment Plan Agreement and Schedule 6 to Payment Plan Agreement; and authorization for County Judge to execute the Purchaser's Certificate. See attached documentation regarding pricing. The agreement has been reviewed by legal counsel, Michael Dixon, who has signed the Purchaser's Counsel Opinion. mlm
