TOWN STAFF REPORT RECCOMENDATIONS
title
Consider approving Resolution 23-23 authorizing the purchase of network equipment necessary for the modular buildings at Westlake Academy, in an amount not to exceed $80,000, and amending the adopted FY 22-23 budget to allocate the necessary funding; and take appropriate action
body
STAFF: Jason Power, Director of Information Technology
BACKGROUND:
The network equipment in the current portable buildings is not sufficient for the needs of the modular buildings that will be in place later this year. IT Staff have worked with a received a quote for network equipment from an authorized technology solutions provider with pricing from the State of Texas Department of Information Resources contracts, which negates the need to go out to bid. IT Staff recommend the purchase of this hardware as soon as possible due to the continuing supply chain issues which could delay the receipt of the equipment by at least three months and delay the use of the modular buildings.

Budget Amendment required
