TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Purchase of Plotter Printer for Engineering Offices
MEETING DATE: March 21, 2006
INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION:
Council is asked to approve the purchase of a plotter printer for the old public works
building. The City currently has one plotter printer, which is located in City Hall and is
extensively used by both the Planning and Engineering staff for the production of large
scale maps and drawings. Because of its extensive use by both divisions, staff believes it
is desirable to have plotter printers available at both locations. Were the existing plotter
to be moved, the move would cost about $700.00. While the cost of a new plotter printer
is under $10,000, it is not an item that was budgeted for, and so is being brought to
Council for approval. The cost would be shared by Community Development and
Engineering. Two quotes were sought as follows;
0 Personal Tough Technologies HP Designet 4000 $8,074.00
0 State and local government price HP Designjet 4000 $8,504.00
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Offer and approve a motion authorizing the purchase of an lIP DesignJ et 4000 from
Personal Tough Technologies at a cost not to exceed $8,074.00 plus applicable sales tax.
2. Do not approve the proposed purchase.
3. Table the item for additional information.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative no. 1.
