RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, a purchase order amendment with R-Computer to increase the payment limit by $150,000 to a new payment limit of $370,000, for the procurement of minor computer equipment and software.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$150,000 in FY 2015/16 (100% User Fees); the cost is charged to the ordering department through DoIT's billing process.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Information Technology needs to be able to readily purchase small computer equipment and software in order to complete work order requests and other jobs submitted by its customers. The customers are other County departments, as well out various outside agencies. We need an additional $150,000 to continue to pay the invoices related to these purchases.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase order amendment is not approved, the purchase of minor computer equipment and software on behalf of our customers will be negatively impacted.
