The company specialized in providing high-performance computing solutions and IT services, primarily to U.S. federal government agencies. High Performance Technologies, Inc. has been a partner with the City of Port St Lucie providing technology for over a decade.

They have a proven past performance record and have been a valuable partner with the City not only with costs but have helped the City maintain its technologies to keep up with current standards. They have always been there to assist with any hardware technologies that we might need.

 

Although the NASPO contract with the State of Florida currently expires at the end of this month, there are renewals remaining. Staff has reached out to the State of Florida, who has advised that it is currently working on renewing the NASPO contract. The State of Minnesota’s contract, supporting the State of Florida’s, has already been renewed. Therefore, staff requests Council approve this item based on the expectation that the State of Florida will extend the NASPO contract, and therefore, the City can extend the City Agreement, as well.
