26. AMENDMENT TO FIVE-YEAR TECHNOLOGY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN In accordance with A.R.S. 42-17106(B), authorize the following amendment to the FY 2013 Non Departmental (470) Technology Capital Improvement Fund (460): a) Decrease the expenditure authority for the Public Safety Radio Project by $5,000,000 from $47,554,380 to $42,554,380. The total project budget remains $131,351,230 over the life of the project. b) Increase the expenditure authority for the Enterprise Data Center Project by $5,000,000 from $10,286,400 to $15,286,400. The total project budget remains $48,088,722. These actions will have a County-wide net impact of zero and they do not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. Approval of this action allows the Office of Enterprise Technology (OET) to replace the County's existing data storage environment with a new 3PAR storage solution. Through this effort OET will be able to consolidate various storage devices onto a new platform while reducing complexities, decreasing the total cost of ownership, and providing the expected level of enterprise storage services County customers require. Total cost savings to the County over a five-year period are expected to be over $4,000,000 by moving to the 3PAR storage solution. Fewer expenditures are anticipated in FY 2013 for the Public Safety Radio Project, thus allowing for the transfer of expenditure authority to the Enterprise Data Center Project. (C-41-13-008-M-00)
