  2. Approve amendment to the authorized equipment list.

Strategic Plan Goal(s)

Thriving Residents

Reason for Recommended Action/Background

Through the High-Speed Broadband in California Libraries Project, Yolo County Library was able to provide high-speed internet through CalREN at the Shipley Walters Center for Archives and Library Services location and three rural library branches (Knights Landing, Yolo, and Esparto) beginning in the fall of 2015.  The County has since connected the Knights Landing Branch to the county network, but we continue to rely on CalREN for broadband at the other three locations, and await the completed CalREN connection to our Clarksburg Branch Library, which was grant-funded in November 2020.  The equipment at the Shipley Walters Center for Archives & Library Services location has not been replaced since its original purchase in 2015, and thus requires replacement.

Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)

Yolo County Library staff worked with the Innovation and Technology Services Department to identify needed equipment and obtain quotes.

Competitive Bid Process/Vendor Performance

Three vendor quotes were obtained by the Innovation and Technology Services Department and the lowest responsive quote was selected.
