Emergency Management Agency in the amount of$17,587.00.
2) Authorize the purchase of computer equipment from Dell via the Western States
Contracting Alliance (WSCA) national cooperative purchasing agreement in the amount of
$35,174.00.
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents, including the purchase
order.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Fire Department submitted a FY2011 Emergency Management Performance Grant
application to the California Emergency Management Agency (CaIEMA) to purchase eight new
laptops, printers, invertors, and carrying cases for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
The computers currently in the EOC are ten years old and cannot support the necessary
software that the State is transitioning to for resource ordering during a disaster. This is a pass
through grant to assist the City in maintaining a ready posture for disaster response.

Section 7.09.010 of the Municipal Code provides that the City Council may authorize the
acquisition of supplies, equipment or services through a joint powers or other cooperative
purchasing program with a public entity or association of public agencies. Dell Corp. holds a
competitively bid government contract with Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA), a
national cooperative government purchasing alliance that utilized by public agencies to acquire
various supplies and services. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.09.010, the
Procurement Manager has determined that utilization of the WSCA national contract with Dell
Computer is acceptable and will adequately protect the public interest in that the total cost of the
computer equipment is likely to be less than what could be obtained through an independent
City competitive process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total state approved costs for this project is $35,174. The State share is 50% or$17,587.00
of the approved amount and the City of Palm Springs shared match is $17,587.00. Funds for
the $17,587.00 shared cost are available in Fire Department account# 001-3522-53056.
