The Infrastructure programmable within the ITS Capital Fund provides the funding for the Departments'requests for the collection of hardware,
network and system implementations to develop,test,operate,monitor,manage and support information technology services. The funding allows
for the maintaining and improving of the City of Fort Worth's(City)core technical infrastructure. The computing environment is highly centralized
leveraging a shared infrastructure. The shared infrastructure takes advantage of economies of scale and efficiencies of resource consolidation to
provide cost effective computing for Departments. The major City's core technical infrastructure includes network equipment,servers,backup and
recovery systems,and security hardware.
ITS recommends the adoption of recommendation five due to a duplication error that occurred in Fiscal Year 2021. The TC911 funding was
transferred to the ITS Capital Fund through Mayor&Council Communication(M&C 21-0260)and included as part of the IT Solutions 5 year
Capital Plan creating a duplication entry. This recommendation seeks to reduce the appropriation to correct the oversight.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
