Title
Village Network Switching Equipment - Approve Purchase
History
The MIS Division has included funds in the 2010 fiscal year budget to replace computer network switching equipment that is no longer serviceable and is in need of reconfiguration. The existing fiber optic switching unit and core switch is over 8 years old and no longer supported by the manufacture. In addition, the current configuration relies on power at Village Hall for phone system operation at the Public Works facility. The new configuration will be able to use backup power systems at the old and new Police Stations to maintain 24x7 phone service at Public Works.
State of Illinois contract pricing for Cisco products is available through Global Enterprise Technologies of Niles Illinois.
The cost of the Cisco 3750X core switch, fiber connections and services is $11,238.40.
On October 4, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee and referred to the Board for approval.

Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of the Cisco switching equipment and services from Global Enterprise Technologies in an amount not to exceed $11,238.40
