History
The Village uses an Internet proxy server which manages and speeds Internet connections and allows for web-site content and malicious web-site filtering as staff uses the Internet.
The existing proxy server is 5 years old and has reached end of life support and needs to be replaced.
GSA schedule pricing for the Blue Coat Proxy Server SG510-5 is available to the village through Sayers.

On April 5, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Although this item was not specifically budgeted for, there are funds available at the department level due to two maintenance items that will not be expended this fiscal year totaling $6,635.00.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of the Blue Coat proxy server and support from Sayers in an amount not to exceed $6,909.00.
