Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the purchase of a PowerEdge R760 Server in the amount of $20,750.88 to meet the current digital storage demands for the Planning Department, in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code; Sub-Chapter F. Cooperative Purchasing Program, Sections 271.101, 271.102 (Cooperative Purchasing Participation TX DIR-TSO-3763) and any other matters incident thereto. [Transfer from Account #1001-1130-001-431007-010 Operational Reserve to Account #2007-1070-001-461000 Materials & Supplies]

Issue: The Planning Department’s server storage for digital mapping and inspection files is becoming critically low. With increased development, there is a higher volume of digital data required for day-to-day operations. Higher-resolution aerial imagery, increasing parcel divisions, and projects with large digital data sets require a large amount of storage capacity.

Solution: The Planning Department with the assistance of the IT Department researched the best solution for increasing digital storage while maintaining secure, immediate access to digital files. Updating the Department’s server storage will allow for an increased capacity of readily accessible data sets and allow for uninterrupted services to the County and the public.

Result: Increasing the server storage capacity will allow the Department to safely store and retrieve the necessary digital data for day-to-day operations and allow for uninterrupted services to the County and the public.
