Title
Core Network Switch Replacement at the Police Department
History
In 2022 the Village replaced all the network switches in the Village except for the core switches at the Police Department, as these switches were still supported. As of 2026, the core switches at the PD are not supported and need to be replaced.
DoIT is proposing replacing the core switches with new Cisco Catalyst 9500 Network switches, including a 3-year term of Cisco SMARTnet Maintenance Support to support the Village's backup internet connection and all computer systems at the Police Department.
The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Purchasing Cooperative contract 230105 and the TIPS cooperative quote came out slightly cheaper than the fall quotes.
Financial Impact
The PD training facility switches are part of the Board approved 2025 budgeted IT Hardware-Small Value account 100400-463400 and this quote comes in below the budgeted amount.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve participation in the Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Purchasing Cooperative pursuant to Contract #230105 for Consulting and Other Related Services and authorize the approval and execution of a vendor contract with Tusker for the purchase of two Cisco Catalyst C9300 switches, and 3-years of service for Cisco SMARTnet Maintenance Support, to support the Village's backup internet connection and the IT infrastructure at the Police Department, based on Tusker's proposal dated January 14, 2025, for a not-to-exceed contract price of $45,108.23;
AND
Authorize the Village Manager to execute all related contract, subject to Village Attorney review.
