Introduction
The Council is asked to authorize the purchase of PC replacements at a total cost of
$29,644.69.
Background
The City currently has 37 computers that are up for replacement this year; two of which
are laptops. In recent years, we have slowed down our regular PC replacement schedule
to accommodate tight budgets. However, with more extensive applications and with the
City's upcoming switch to the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system, these PCs axe no
longer meeting hardware requirements.
Budget Impact
The cost of the PC replacement, including, tax and shipping, is $29,644.69. These funds
will be taken from the adopted 2010 IT budget.
Action
The Council is asked to authorize appropriate City staff to purchase 35 desktop
computers from TigerDirect and 2 laptop computers from Dell for an amount not to
exceed $30,000.
