storage capacity of the City of Fort Worth network. Excess fund balance has been targeted to fund
enterprise City-wide capital technology initiatives. The majority of the required funding is included in the
current Information Systems Capital Fund. Partial funding for this project in the amount of$27,392.87 is
recommended to come from excess fund balance.
This purchase request includes DataDomain which will enhance the City's backup infrastructure, vPlex
which will provide real-time data replication and additional racks for the City's Storage
Environment. Benefits of these purchases include: continuous operations of the City's critical data;

purchasing power of local government entities.
PRICE ANALYSIS - DIR pricing has been reviewed and compared with alternative Cooperative Contract
sources and determined this DIR Contract provides the best value. ITS solicited three quotes for this
procurement. NetSync Network Solutions was the lowest quote.
M/WBE OFFICE -A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Department and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the
purchase of goods and services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are
negligible.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER -An administrative change order or increase may be made by the
City Manager in the amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long
as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
