TE-R-0001-24  
Termination of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the County of DuPage and the  
Village of Lisle to permit County staff to compile geospatial data from the Village of  
Lisle, update existing geospatial data, and support the Village of Lisle’s current ESRI  
software applications.  
Member Carrier asked if everything turned out well with County GIS providing services  
to the Village of Lisle and if they were pleased with the services. CIO McPhearson  
responded yes, it went well. He said the agreement began in 2018, and County GIS staff  
and the Village agreed it is time to discontinue the agreement, as the County needs to  
reclaim our services and the Village has hired a GIS consultant.

PROCUREMENT REQUISITIONS  
7.A.  
24-0358  
Recommendation for the approval of a contract to Carahsoft Technology Group, for a  
Premier Support Agreement for Microsoft support services, for Information Technology,  
for the period of February 24, 2024 through February 23, 2025, for a contract total of  
$20,175; per Cooperative Purchasing Agreement Pricing, in compliance with 30 ILCS  
525/2 "Governmental Joint Purchasing Act" - NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement  
#AR2472.  
CIO McPhearson said we used to use Microsoft directly for support but had issues with  
them with responsiveness. He said IT staff found support through US Cloud / Carahsoft  
for a fraction of the cost of what we were paying Microsoft. Additionally, he said US  
Cloud / Carahsoft allows us to use unused credits from the previous year, allowing us to  
save more money. He thanked Network System Manager Joe Hamlin and team for their  
great work.  
Member Evans asked if they are a local company, to which Mr. Hamlin responded yes,  
they are based in Missouri.

Recommendation for the approval of a purchase order to Service Express, Inc., for annual  
post-warranty server support, for Information Technology, for the period of February 1,  
2024 through January 31, 2025, for a contract total amount of $25,920. Exempt from

$35,000.  
CIO McPhearson said that this committee approved a contract for approximately $15,000  
in September from the same company. He explained that once servers go out of  
warranty, they are added to this contract, so the amount will change each year. He said  
this year it is more due to adding fifteen (15) VSAN hosts to the contract.
