4. SUMMARY ~kTEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
The City is in the process of upgrading its PCs over a 3-year
timeframe. This acquisition of 80 PCs is part of that upgrade and was
previously approved by City Council and budgeted for 2002. To that end we
solicited quotations from all PC manufacturers included in the State's
master PC contract. IBM were clearly the lowest cost and many of their
components are of a higher performance than those specified. City Council
should approve the purchase of 80 PCs from IBM as per their quotation for
the sum of $68,138.00.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council approve the purchase of 80 PCs from IBM Corporation
as defined in their quotation for the sum of $68,138.00 including tax.

5. IMPACT ON NON-PASSAGE:
Staff who would have received the new PCs will not benefit from their
increased performance. Failure to implement new hardware will affect
software upgrading into the future (some of the newer software requires
newer hardware to operate). The incidence of repair will increase as the
old equipment gets older, leading to increased workloads and response time
on the part of the technicians.
6. IMPACT ON STAFFING, BUDGETS, FACILITIES, EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES
This acquisition is budgeted for 2002.
