FC CASE <br /> <br />CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE COMPUTER NETWORK <br />HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE UPGRADES <br />By: James E. Norman, City Administrator and Diana Lund, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City Council authorized the bidding for computer network hardware and software in <br />September 1998 as part of a Y2K preparation. It was later determined that more computer <br />upgrades were necessary to bring the City's information systems into compliance for Y2K, and a <br />$25,000 reserve was held over in the General Fund. As was the case in the fall 1998 purchase, <br />staff has been working with the Local Government Information Systems Association (LOGIS) to <br />develop specifications and perform competitive bidding in order to bring the remaining terminals <br />into compliance. <br /> <br />The specifications for the computer hardware and software were sent out to vendors that LOGIS <br />utilizes, and three bids were received (LOGIS memo attached to case). The low bid was <br />received from DataSource Hagen in the amount of $21,060 (price quotation attached to case). <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff would recommend the acquisition of computer hardware and software from DataSource <br />Hagen as delineated by the bid results on the attached bid form. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #99-07-XXX receiving bids and authorizing contract for the <br />purchase of computer hardware and software. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br />Administrative Assistant <br /> <br />FC: 07/13/99 <br /> <br />G:\usersXJThieling\~JO\COUNCIL&~BUDGETFl\1999XJuly\Computer Upgrade Case.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
