Linke suggested that <br /> 3 three computers are needed, one for the secretary, one in the <br /> 4 Patrol station and one for the Sergeant's station. The <br /> 5 secretary would be able to use the existing printer and an <br /> 6 additional printer would be located in the Patrol area. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Tim Cruikshank, Assistant to City Administrator, reported the <br /> 9 computer and printer bid specifications that were furnished to <br /> 10 vendors. He stated that responses had been received from four <br /> 11 vendors for the computers: Ameridata, Zeos International, <br /> 12 Global Computronics and P.C. Tailors. The low bid was <br /> 13 received from P.C. Tailors in the amount of $1, 521.89 for each <br /> 14 computer. Responses had been received from three vendors for <br /> 15 the printer: Ameridata, Global Computronics and Dodd <br /> 16 Technical. The low bid was received from Global Computronics <br /> 17 in the amount of $1, 658 .21. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Cruikshank explained the purpose of Resolution No. 4667 was to <br /> 20 transfer funds from the Franchise Fee Contingency Account to <br /> 21 Police Department Capital Account for the purchase of three <br /> 22 computers, one printer, and a computer desk, which was <br /> 23 budgeted at $650, for the police secretary. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Councilmember Trude asked if the computer bid specifications <br /> 26 of 33Mhz would be adequate for the CD-ROM drive. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Cruikshank replied that 33Mhz would work for the CD-ROM drive, <br /> 29 but an upgrade would make it faster, thus more efficient. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Trude related her personal experience with the low bidder for <br /> 32 the computers and felt their service was poor. She was <br /> 33 concerned about the quality of that company. <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, commented that she also <br /> 36 had previous experiences with P.C. Tailors and agreed that the <br /> 37 service provided by them was poor. Orduno mentioned that the <br /> 38 street directories and State Statutes were going to be on CD- <br /> 39 ROM and the speed of the computers would be important. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Blanchard to Adopt Resolution No. 4667 <br /> 42 Approving the Transfer of Funds from Franchise Fee Account for <br /> 43 Purchase of Computer Equipment for Police Department in the <br /> 44 Amount of $9, 000 <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Trude noted that the amount to be transferred in Resolution <br /> 47 No. 4667 should be changed from $7, 000 to $9, 000.
