Recommendation
Approve an F5 Maintenance Terms and Conditions Agreement, including non-standard terms, with F5, Inc. for direct support services that enable the Innovation and Technology Department to provide an uninterrupted, redundant and secure method of accessing County resources such as websites and computer applications, for purchase amounts as authorized by County Policy, effective as of March 29, 2022 and continuing until terminated by either party, provided that the Agreement remain in full force and effect with respect to maintenance and support services until the County gives notice of non-renewal of maintenance and support services, and the County ceases all use of the support services.

For future purchases from F5 support and maintenance resellers made in conjunction with this Agreement, the Innovation and Technology Department (ITD) will adhere to County purchasing policies and return to the Board of Supervisors (Board) for approval, if necessary.
