AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

Consider approval to purchase from the lowest and most responsive bidder, Presidio Networked Solutions, a battery back-up power system in the amount of $34,889.69 for the City's server room and Electric Operations control room.  Electric Director Bill Bosch will address.   Approved

This back-up power system will allow all equipment maintained in the server room to run without interruption for one hour in the event of an extended power outage.  The design of the unit will provide a clean source of power that is essential for the reliability of the communications equipment that are the backbone of the Electric Department's SCADA system.  The smaller unit that was in place before SCADA was virtualized will be sold on GovDeals.com.

Staff recommends approval.

This will be funded by the approved monies rolled over in the 2014-2015 Capital Budget, SCADA Infrastructure ($53,965).
