PURCHASE OF COMPUTER FOR NEW PC/NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council approve purchase of computer workstation for the new PC/Network
Administrator position from Dell, of Round Rock, Texas, at a cost of$1,825.
SUMMARY:
This computer is needed for the new PC/Network Administrator who will work primarily
at the City Library.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Information Technology Department administers support of the City's Library
computer systems. There are no additional computers for the new position. In order for
the PC/Network Administrator to perform his job duties, a new computer is needed.
Staff recommends the purchase of a computer from Dell, via the Western States
Contracting Alliance (WSCA) #92-00151 contract.
The Director of Procurement and Contracting, pursuant to the requirements of Section
3.12.270.6 of the Municipal Code, finds that the competitive process conducted by the
WSCA is adequate to protect the public interest, and the total cost of the materials and
training is likely to be less than could be obtained through an independent City
competitive process. The State of California recently joined the WSCA making it possible
for local agencies within California to participate in pricing discounts obtained through
the combined purchases of multiple participating states.
Funds have been budgeted for this purpose, and are available using account 001-1120-
43010 Information Technology Special Parts and Repairs.
