Subject

Approval of Purchase of services from Presidio for Active Directory upgrade.

Background

With limited staffing, there are occasionally situations when the Technology Department staff does not have the knowledge or experience needed to work on some of the advanced networking infrastructure, firewalls, network storage and other specialized software. Presidio is a firm with a local office that has assisted Technology Department staff on several occasions with this specialized work. The Presidio engineers are extremely knowledgeable about the intricate technologies that the City of Brentwood uses. They are also quick to respond to any emergency situations as needed.

The FY 2020 budget includes funding to upgrade the City's Active Directory system. Active Directory (AD) is a service developed by Microsoft for Windows domain networks. It authenticates and authorizes all users and computers in a Windows networking environment by assigning and enforcing security policies for all computers and installing or updating software.

The cost for this project is $11,405. This purchase will be made pursuant to the Tennessee NASPO ValuePoint Cisco AR233 (14-19) Contract, #56718; therefore, it is exempt from competitive bidding requirements.

Please contact the Technology Director with any questions.
