0 C ain thou <br /> te <br /> DATE : APPROVAL = <br /> April 20 , 1990 <br /> TOc <br /> City Councilmembers <br /> FROM : <br /> Thomas D. Burt, City Manager <br /> ITEM : . PURCHASE OF COMPUTERS <br /> In the 1990 budget there is . $12 ,000 budgeted for the purchase of <br /> computers. This budget figure was based on information from the <br /> previous City Accountant and did not represent the total computer needs <br /> of the City. I have received quotes from three sources to insure the <br /> lowest price to the City. <br /> It is my intent to purchase a computer network that will meet the needs <br /> of the City in the future. Because the City plans on the purchase of a <br /> system that will serve its needs for several years, I have reservations <br /> on many of the clone computers on the market. Service reliability is a <br /> major concern, so the City must consider purchasing from a company that <br /> • we can be assured will be in business in the future. <br /> I received bids from three vendors. Each quoted IBM due to the recent <br /> price reductions on the product. <br /> State Bid <br /> Currentech AmeriData InaComp <br /> 1 .

This is over the $12,000 that has been budgeted, however, <br /> other purchases of equipment have come in under budget. <br /> Staff is now in the process of selecting software which will determine <br /> what type of network and operating system we will need to purchase <br /> • later. The money to purchase the software will come from money we were <br /> under budget on other equipment. <br /> :cjk4 . 24 .90 <br />
