RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Department, a Purchase Order with Dell Computers, in an amount not to exceed $135,069 to procure desktop computers for the replacement of outdated computers, as recommended by the Interim Public Works Director, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The purchase will be paid with revenues from programs that will benefit from the personal computers. (40% Flood Control Funds, 40% Road Funds, 20% Special Revenue Funds)

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This purchase is part of the routine replacement of desktop computers that have exceeded their useful life and to supply new staff with work stations. The Public Works Department is reaching the end of the current lease agreement with Dell and has decided to take this opportunity to purchase new computers due to the high administrative costs associated with managing leases.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Department has one hundred and fifty (150) desktop computers coming off of lease that will be returned to Dell under the lease agreement. Without Board approval, the department will be unable to execute the purchase order which would significantly impact the department’s ability to function efficiently.
