Aaron Begner, buyer in the office of procurement, recommended the board move to award PUR‑1832 to GHA Technologies Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona for Rubrik Enterprise Data Protection at a total lump sum of $387,764.76.
Begner said 41 persons or companies accessed the bid document and 10 bids were received. He described Rubrik as "an enterprise data backup and ransomware protection product consisting of hardware, software, and cloud services that currently protect county systems," and said funds are available in the department's operating budget. Chief Technology Officer Josh O'Neil answered technical questions confirming the award corresponds to the county's existing Rubrik product and recommended proceeding with the lowest responsive bidder.
The board moved, seconded and approved the recommendation by voice vote.
