Commissioners approve $224,140 IT storage replacement after reviewing vendor quotes
Summary
IT staff said county on-premises storage is six years old and needs replacement; commissioners approved a $224,140 proposal from a vendor (funded from special excise tax) after comparing a higher-cost full-system quote exceeding $1 million.
The board approved replacing the county’s on-premises storage infrastructure after IT staff said the current system — purchased about six years ago and running continuously — is at end of life.
Ben, the county IT presenter, said he provided two quotes from the same vendor: a $224,140 configuration that satisfies immediate needs and a higher-end full-system package that exceeded $1 million. He told commissioners the current system has been supported beyond its initial support period and the replacement would nearly double storage capacity.
A commissioner moved to approve the $224,140 purchase to be paid from the 2018 special-purpose excise tax funds; the motion carried. Commissioners noted the larger full-system upgrade will be discussed later and the quoted price expires at the end of the month, so staff will proceed with the approved configuration.
