Item 1B <br />City Council Work Session <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> 4 <br />The price on the core system though the Apple Government Store was approximately <br />$450 less than any other vendor. The most cost-effective way to purchase additional hard <br />drives and RAM were through third-party online stores, saving approximately $3280 <br />compared to purchase through Apple. <br /> <br />The pricing on hard drives fluctuates among vendors, with typical pricing for 750 GB drives <br />ranging between $160-180. As sales and promotions come and go, it is likely at least one <br />appropriate model can be found for under $155. Staff will make the best purchase possible <br />at time of purchase, but requests sufficient flexibility in the allocation to deal with market <br />rates. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff seeks approval to purchase a Mac Pro computer system with monitor and editing <br />software as listed above from the Apple Government Store in the amount of $6082.43 as <br />well as funds not to exceed $1500.00 to purchase additional RAM and hard drives as <br />specified. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Vanessa Van Alstine <br />Cable Television Coordinator
