27. TRADE-IN OF CISCO NETWORKING EQUIPMENT Approve the return of Cisco networking equipment no longer in use according to the approved Contract # 07131. The equipment has reached its end of life and can no longer be serviced or repaired. Updating the network infrastructure to meet the demands of the County’s data requirements requires the purchase of new equipment. The return of the old network equipment allows the County to purchase this new equipment at a lower cost. All the equipment being returned to Cisco is no longer in use and is at end of life. As the network infrastructure upgrade proceeds the end of life equipment removed will be returned to Cisco for cost savings on additional future purchases. Cisco Systems is bearing the cost of removal and disposal of this electronic equipment. All equipment involved in the return will be removed from the Maricopa County Asset list. (C-41-09-005-M-00)
