SUBJECT: Rejection of Bid - (PUR-1501) Pure Storage Capacity Expansion
PRESENTATION DATE: May 18, 2021
PRESENTATION BY: Rick Curry, CPPO, Director of Purchasing and Josh O’Neal, IT Director
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to take action, in the best interest of the County and to
request the bid for the Pure Storage Capacity Expansion be rejected due to the bid was not

the County’s website. One (1) persons/companies registered/downloaded the bid document on-
line and one (1) bid was received for the purchase of the Pure Storage Capacity Expansion project.
The scope of the project is to purchase storage arrays to handle the influx of digital information

the pandemic. This addition will cover the immediate demand and provide expansion for
anticipated additional online citizen services departments plan to provide going forward. The
procurement is to increase the array’s capacity that will provide the ability to support teleworkers
by increasing the number of virtual machines that can be created. The recommendation is to reject
