Approval to utilize American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Lost Revenue as the funding source for the following expenditures related to Information Systems infrastructure and networking.
Security systems for new County buildings: $285,000. This consists of: Parks Administration building hardware, Alvin Annex hardware, and any supplemental installation and cabling as needed to complete the project.
County-wide refresh of old and obsolete networking equipment: $1,200,000. The largest site in need of a refresh is the Sheriff’s Office. In addition, the cost includes 50 smaller building sites throughout the County that need networking hardware and architecture refresh.
Alvin Annex IT: $132,476. This is all the basic networking equipment needed for the building itself (cabling, racks, WAPs, switches), which was excluded from the original project budget.
