Adopt Resolution Approving Purchase of Palo Alto Networks Firewalls from CDW-

July 17 , 2019
lnformation Technology Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt resolution approving purchase of Palo Alto Networks firewalls
from CDW-G of Vernon Hills, lllinois in the amount of $49,624.60.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION. As part of the City's efforts to replace aging network infrastructure, a
firewall refresh is scheduled for calendar year 2019. The project is
funded by budget appropriation in Fiscal Year 2019120 and will
replace aging network firewalls that will be end-of-life in 2020. This project will replace two existing
firewalls that are failing and will not have manufacturer support by 2020. This project also adds thee
additional firewalls to add an additional level of security for all SCÁDA systems, É¡xeO Network and San
Joaquin CLETS (law enforcement) connection. CDW-G will also contract services for the installation and
programming of the two new main firewalls.
At the end of this project the City will have current technology to properly manage City network security at
a granular level. Newer and more reliable equipment will improve network stability and lower the risk of
network failure and better protect against infiltration of the network.
ln accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.077, the lnformation.Technology Manager has the
ability to acquire electronic hardware through negotiation, requests for proposal or competitive bids and
award based on "best value" criteria. The lnformation Technology Manager has selected to utilize the
nesotiation method "fï:[x]:Jll?:: ii¡i:li.iilffiijiJ"':i:'J5ij:: tï,ïlå, when creatins
quotes for products for a single customer.. Other VÂRs will not quote a product from the same manufacturer if a prior quote
had already been created for a competing VAR for a single customer.
It is the staff recommendation to purchase the Palo Alto Network firewall from CDWG, using contract
California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) through EC America (3-13-70-0793E).
FISCAL IMPACT:The appropriation for this purchase is included in the Fiscal Year 2019120
budget. There is no additional impact from this action. Failure to upgrade
the firewall increases the City's risk of a cyber-attack resulting in a delay of
services to all City facilities and a general loss of productivity City-wide.
