iii describes a proposal to upgrade the hard drives in all seven ECC computers from 512GB to 1TB because current drives are filling up with user profiles, software, and synchronized data. The PSAP estimates a cost of 700 per drive, for a total of 4900, and notes that the upgrades should be performed in a way that maintains existing computer warranties. This specific hardware refresh is presented as part of the 2027 budget planning discussion, with no vendor or brand selected and no procurement yet authorized.Hardware and services providers who supply government‑grade workstations, storage, and warranty‑preserving upgrade services can position themselves to help define procurement specs and an implementation plan that minimizes ECC downtime. A useful conversation would focus on compatible SSD options, cloning/upgrade procedures around active operations, and whether any broader workstation lifecycle refresh should be tied to this storage expansion.

The goal is to extend useful life of existing ECC consoles rather than replace them outright; maintaining warranties is a key constraint for any hardware vendor or installer.

Pre-RFP

Beth Lazazzera and Michael Ibba are requesting Historic District Commission approval to install HVAC heat pumps at 33 Middle St. This is a private HVAC upgrade in the historic district, not a city purchase, but the owners will contract with HVAC vendors once approved.

Budget Planning

Resolution 27-01 would authorize a Master Lease-Purchase Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank for equipment and vehicles up to $300,000,000. This creates a large financing vehicle the district can use over time to acquire technology, buses, facility equipment, and other capital items. Vendors selling big-ticket equipment or fleets should monitor how this lease is structured and when drawdowns begin, as it lowers financial barriers to large-scale purchases.
