STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The purchase of Information Technology Products and Services directly supports the City Council's strategic outcome of Connected and Engaged. These investments ensure that all citywide core services remain secure and operational, enhancing the day-to-day capabilities of all departments to provide exceptional citizen services throughout the City. By maintaining up-to-date technology, the City enables better communication, improves public safety, and ensures responsible management of resources, fostering a more engaged and prosperous community.
REPORT:
Each year, the City procures various Information Technology Products and Services through cooperative purchase agreements. These products and services include, but are not limited to, voice and video communication, security, data communication hardware and software, computers, printers, scanners, telephones, and IT training and consulting services.
In Fiscal Year 2026, the City anticipates spending $8,251,630.00 on computer hardware, software, communications equipment, and technical support for all City communications services. Staff has determined that current technology and contract prices, as well as savings, can be obtained by utilizing these cooperative purchase agreements. These agreements, established by various agencies with multiple vendors after competitive bids, provide cost savings opportunities through volume purchasing and reduce administrative overhead by eliminating the need to bid for the same commodities repeatedly.
The City aims to leverage cooperative purchase agreements from the agencies listed below to procure Information Technology Products and Services for all City departments. The breakdown of estimated expenditures by department is attached and included in each department’s Fiscal Year 2026 budget. Staff will consider pricing and product availability before making each purchase. Any single purchase over $100,000.00 will be brought separately before the City Council for approval.
