maintenance and the scheduling features only handled repetitive <br />maintenance tasks such as filter changes, etc. Additionally, <br />® parts costs were tracked only after they were entered into <br />inventory. This would require unique materials (bought for a <br />specific job) to be entered into inventory, marked as received, <br />and charged out for a job. The double and triple entry of costs <br />and labor made this software difficult to use for our purposes <br />and, therefore, we rejected this package. <br />The final software we demonstrated was from Software First. This <br />company initially sent us demo versions of their various �cfte rc <br />packages, Scheduling, Cost Center, and Vehicles. Again we were <br />disappointed that the software did not appear to address our <br />needs and double entry would be required to make it work. The <br />company came out to meet with us and suggested that their <br />programmer meet to discuss our needs. They subsequently sent us a <br />proposal to customize their software to meet our needs and <br />include all requirements .in one package. Their proposed cost for <br />this package is $5,000. In addition they will supply the source <br />code for the program. This allows any programmer familiar with <br />dBase programs the ab'Mty to modify the program. Their proposal <br />is attached for your review. <br />We recommend that this propusal be accepted. The 1969 budget <br />included $4,000 for a computer in Public Works and $2,000 fog <br />software. The computer we are getting with the new water panel <br />can be utilized for this software. Therefore, we can utilize a <br />portion of the funds budgeted for the computer. •There need not be <br />® a contingency as all customization is included in the price. The <br />cost can be charged to account 1 100-4190-703. <br />El <br />
