Workstation Replacement Project

Gogebic County is conducting a Workstation Replacement Project for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, seeking quotes from qualified technology vendors to replace aging computing infrastructure. The procurement specifically targets the acquisition of 10 desktops, 16 laptops, 6 docking stations, and 19 monitors, with a strong preference for Dell Pro models or equivalent alternatives that meet precise technical specifications. Vendors must submit detailed quotes by October 10, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., with quote validity extending 90 days from submission. The technical requirements are comprehensive, mandating specific processor configurations, memory capacities, storage capabilities, and connectivity standards for each device type. Evaluation criteria will prioritize pricing, equipment availability, technical specifications, and warranty offerings, with vendors encouraged to provide detailed specification sheets if proposed models deviate from the county's baseline requirements. Each device must include 4-year ProSupport Next Business Day Onsite Service, encompassing hardware and software support, with an option for vendors to allow the county to retain hard drives.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The procurement appears open to standard technology vendors capable of meeting the specified technical requirements. While no incumbent vendors were mentioned, the project represents a strategic technology infrastructure modernization effort for Gogebic County. The documents do not specify a precise budget range or total project value, though the comprehensive equipment list suggests a potentially significant investment in enterprise-grade computing resources. Vendors are instructed to submit quotes via email directly to Matt Hewitt, the county's IT Director, indicating a streamlined procurement process focused on identifying the most suitable technology solutions to meet the county's computing needs for the upcoming fiscal period.
