Networking Equipment Expense for CAA
Submitted for:	Joe Lopez	Submitted By:	Joe Lopez
Department:	Purchasing

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the networking equipment expense authorized for the new Community Action Agency building on June 21, 2024, item 22 and issued under Purchase Order No. 2024-00005825 to be reclassified to the 2013 Bond Series account in the amount not to exceed $38,241.48 with Insight Public Sector (DIR Contract No. TSO-4167 & OMNIA Partners No. 23-6692-03) and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #3140-2450-001-470000-030]

Issue: During the June 21st meeting, under item 22, the commissioners court authorized three related price quotations to be coded to ARPA funds for the installation of network equipment and internet / Wi-Fi services for the new CAA building. The proposal by insight is under cooperative pricing and the Webb County Purchasing Agent is recommending to reclassify the expense for the networking equipment to the 2013 Bond Series account to close out those balances left over from original project budget.

Solution: Consideration to approve the recommendation to reclassify the expense for networking equipment under old bond fund designated for improvements to this building. Using cooperative pricing with a reputable vendor for requested equipment and bond money will expedite the process. Using ARPA funds for this transaction will require more time to secure additional quotes for the specifications being recommended by the IT department.

Result: If approved, the Purchase Order will be revised to reflect use of updated GL account under 2013 bond series. 3140-2450-001-470000-030 (Juvenile Drug Rehab & Detox 2013 -Juvenile Probation-Administration-Capital Outlay-Construction.
