Subject:

Discussion and possible action to enter into a thirty-six (36) month lease (April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2025) purchase Agreement (DIR-TSO-3763), pursuant to Texas Local Government Code Section 271.101 et.seq. (Cooperative Purchasing Program Participation), between Dell Financial Services and Webb County for the purpose of financing a "Managed Detection and Response" and "Secureworks" software to monitor possible malicious activity which said software is being leased/purchased through the State of Texas Cooperative Purchasing Program for the Webb County Information Technology (IT) Department in an amount not to exceed FOUR HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTEEN DOLLARS ($410,813.00), with a proposed financing term of three (3) annual payments of $136,936.30 at an interest rate of 0.00%, with the first annual payment due October 1, 2022, after commissioners court approval, subject to annual budgetary approval, and execution of the Contract by the County Judge, and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #1001-1280-001-443000-110 (Software Maintenance)]

Issue: There is currently no funding in the IT 2021-2022 FYE budget for the lease purchase of the software in order for the county's IT Department to detect malicious activity on county's server.

Solution: Consider approval of a finance agreement with Dell Financial services to finance the lease/purchase of the software to detect malicious activity, which is being done through Cooperative Purchasing Program of the State of Texas, through the Department of Information Resources (DIR).

Result: The financing will fund the purchase of "Managed Detection and Response" software powered by Tegis XDR and "SecureWorks Tegis VDR" software for the County.
