SUBJECT: Purchase of PCs for 2005
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2005
INTRODUCTION:
Staff is proposing to purchase 16 PCs per the IT replacement schedule. Because of some changes in
technical support received for the City's current Gateway PCs, the IT staff decided to evaluate Dell as
an alternative vendor. After evaluating a Dell unit, the decision has been made to purchase from Dell.
A result ofthis change is that the cost per PC is somewhat less. The total cost ofthe XX PCs is
$14,254.68, a savings of$5,802.46 over the cost from Gateway. The cost ofthese PCs was
incorporated in the 2005 IT budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Offer and pass a motion authorizing the purchase of 16 PCs from Dell at a cost not to exceed
$15,000.
2. Do not authorize the purchase of the 16PCS.
3. Table the item for additional information
ACTION REQUESTED:
Offer and pass a motion authorizing the purchase of 16 PCs from Dell at a cost not to exceed $15,000.
