DESCRIPTION
The Polk County Utilities (PCU) Division SCADA team requires firewall and professional support services to assist with setup and configuration of new equipment. PCU is planning to construct new water and wastewater facilities projects in the northwest, southwest, and east regional utility service areas that will require the purchase, installation, and configuration of new SCADA network hardware and Fortinet software, as well as requiring maintenance and on-site support services at its other approximately 400 water and wastewater facilities and remote locations. DGR Systems is an authorized reseller of Fortinet and has exclusive access to support and training.
The County belongs to Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota service cooperative, which has enabled us to piggyback the agreements that were solicited on behalf of the cooperative. Sourcewell solicited Request for Proposal (#121923), resulting in an agreement with DGR Systems, LLC for technology products and services with related solutions, including hardware and software, network configuration, maintenance and support for Fortinet products. There are no local vendors that provide these services.
This agreement will expire on February 27, 2031, unless otherwise expired or terminated in accordance with the agreement.
