CALL TO ORDER

Mr. Hilliard called the meeting to order at 7:45 p.m.

1. Authorize the Purchasing Agent to issue Purchase Orders to the lowest qualified vendors for supply and installation of equipment, software and implementation services for the Windows 2003/2007 Active Directory Infrastructure Upgrade project for an amount not to exceed $355,000.00. Accounts are 09050600-5777-C0286 and 0907/0908-0600-5777-C0375. Budgeted IT capital items, no special appropriation required.

Ms. Del Vecchio reviewed the reasons for the purchase and explained that the City of Norwalk needs to upgrade the Windows computer infrastructure because Microsoft no longer supports the current NT 4.0 Platform. This upgrade project has been underway for the last three years and the IT Department is now positioned to retool the server/network platform and migrate to Active Directory. She informed the Committee that the project costs were approved in 2005, 2006 and 2008 IT Capital budgets, so no special appropriations would be needed.
