Technology committee approves $47,657.76 contract to SHI for data storage equipment
Summary
The DuPage County Technology Committee approved a one-year contract to SHI International Corp for data storage equipment totaling $47,657.76; staff said supply-chain price swings earlier had raised costs by about $3,000 per drive but a new vendor quote reduced the net cost.
The DuPage County Technology Committee approved a contract purchase order to SHI International Corp for data storage equipment for the information technology department covering 08/12/2026 through 08/11/2027 at a contract total of $47,657.76. The chair called for questions and the measure passed with a recorded verbal approval.
An IT staff member explained the item was similar to a previously approved purchase but that supply-chain price volatility had temporarily pushed prices up: "the price had gone up 3,000 per drive, which would have been additional $51,000," the staff member said, noting the team solicited other quotes and found one that improved the county's position by about $3,000 compared with the earlier approval. Committee members moved and seconded the motion (Member Childress moved; Member Galassi seconded) before the committee voted to approve the contract.
