WHEREAS, the City's email filtering system is scheduled for refresh this calendar
year; and
WHEREAS, the current Cisco email filter appliance has reached its end of life; and

capabilities for encryption; and

CDW-G; Cisco does not sell its products directly to customers. In accordance with Lodi

the negotiation method for acquiring Cisco email filtering service for the following reasons:
• IT manufactures will work with one value-added reseller (VAR) when creating
quotes for products for a single customer.
• Other VARs will not quote a product from the same manufacture if a prior quote
had already been created for a competing VAR for a single customer.
WHEREAS, the Information Technology Manager recommends that the City Council
approve the purchase of the three-year license for Cisco Cloud Email Security Platform and
Data Protection Services from CDW-G.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
