From: Senior PC/Network Administrator via Director of Information Technology
PURCHASE OF COMPUTERS FOR REPLACEMENT OF OUTDATED COMPUTERS
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council approves purchase of two computer workstations for Lee Husfeldt and
Mike Kemp from Dell, of Round Rock, Texas, at a cost of$2,805.80.
SUMMARY:
These computers are needed to replace two outdated Nutrend computers that constantly
freeze and run out of memory with the city's current software packages.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Information Technology Department administers support of the City's
computer systems. There are no spare computers for the replacement of old computers.
In order for Lee Husfeldt and Mike Kemp to perform their job duties, two new computers
are needed.
Staff recommends the purchase of two computers 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.
