cable department currently has two Panasonic AG-7150 Professional decks that are <br />over 10 years old and are still performing satisfactorily. A purchase of a professional <br />deck is more reliable and will not need to be replaced as often. The price of a <br />Professional S-VHS deck now is only about $150 less than a Professional Digital deck, <br />so it makes sense to purchase a digital deck with the better quality. <br />Item 08C <br />City Council Meeting <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br />Cable Budget <br />For the 2003 Cable Budget, the Repairs & Equipment fund was doubled from $1500 to <br />$3000 to replace the faulty pro-sumer S-VHS video decks with professional decks. In <br />consideration of not exceeding the $3000 allocated, it is proposed that the purchase of <br />one Professional digital deck and one S-VHS Pro-sumer deck be approved at this time. <br />Quotes and totals are provided below. <br /> <br />Quotes <br /> <br />Sony DSR-11 DVCAM Digital Video Deck: <br /> <br />B&H (New York, NY) $1,995.00 (Shipping - $26.50) = $2021.50 <br />Samy’s DV (New York, NY) $2,049.00 (plus tax) <br />ALPHA (Edina, MN) $2,117.00 (plus tax) <br /> <br />B&H, which is a reliable seller in New York, has the cheapest quote of $1,995, with a <br />calculated shipping cost of $26.50, totaling $2021.50. <br /> <br />JVC SRT-V10U S-VHS Pro-sumer Video Deck: <br /> <br />ProFeel (Monsey, NY) $267.95 (Shipping - $14.95) = $282.90 <br />B&H (New York, NY) $269.95 <br />J&R (New York, NY) $279.88 <br /> <br />ProFeel has the cheapest quote of $269.95 and has a good rating according to internet <br />sources. <br /> <br />The proposed purchase of one digital deck and one S-VHS deck would total as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />B&H (Sony DSR-11 Digital Deck) $2021.50 <br />ProFeel (JVC SRT-V10U S-VHS Deck) $ 282.90 <br />Total $2304.40 <br /> <br /> <br />
