Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $154,900 from the Capital Improvement Fund for improvements to the City’s Cybersecurity posture; authorizing the improvements and/or replacements of cybersecurity components; waiving competitive bidding requirements of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance authorizes the expenditure of up to $154,900 from appropriated CIP funds for cybersecurity component replacements and enhancements. A waiver of competitive bidding is requested because these hardware components will align with existing standards, expediting the purchase of safely sourced commodity components, and leveraging the professional services of the existing managed service provider.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an amount not to exceed $154,900 is authorized for expenditure from the Capital Improvement Fund, Account Code 5040-17500-8CP2512STYBOX for the improvement and/or replacement of cybersecurity components.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into contracts for the purpose authorized in Section 1, upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Information Technology and the Director of Law.
SECTION 3. That this City Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive bid requirements of TMC Chapter 187 for the reason that the selected product manufacturers meet the City’s current computing standard, that commodity components are sourced in a secure manner, and configuration services will be provided by current network services providers that have the most knowledge of the City’s environment, thereby reducing overall risk.
SECTION 4. That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw their warrant or warrants against the Account Code in Section 1 in payment of the above authorized obligations upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers in an amount not to exceed $154,900.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for further reason that the Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to improve the City’s cybersecurity posture.
