Purchase order contract for two book dispenser kiosks <br />April 6, 2021 <br />Page 2 <br />5 <br />8 <br />9 <br />effective method of providing Library patrons convenient access to collections with self- <br />service holds pick-up, browsing, and returns capability. In addition to physical books, <br />videos and music, the RemoteLocker will also allow the Library to add a variety of popular <br />"Take It & Make It" kits that expand community access to interactive and educational <br />programs for the entire family. <br />The RemoteLocker kiosks provide an easy-to-use, self-service experience for library <br />patrons. Once items are reserved online or over the phone, residents can retrieve library <br />materials on their way to work or school at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center <br />or while participating in activities at the PAAL Center. Most importantly, this can all be <br />done by simply scanning the user’s free library card at the kiosk. Because the modular <br />system is customizable, the Library also has the flexibility to add modules in the future <br />that expand kiosk capacity and address the changing educational and entertainment <br />interests of Santa Ana youth and residents of all ages. <br />Bibliotheca is the leading vendor to provide book kiosks for libraries in Orange County. <br />Bibliotheca will provide two full turn-key RemoteLockers (Book Kiosks), including <br />manufacturing, shipping, on-site installation, remote training, and service/support. Santa <br />Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from <br />any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The Washington County’s contract <br />with Bibliotheca for book dispenser kiosks was awarded as a result of open, competitive <br />bidding, and meets the City’s requirement. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are budgeted and made available in the following accounts for the specified year: <br />Fiscal <br />Year <br />Accounting Unit- <br />Account # <br />Fund <br />Description <br />Accounting Unit, <br />Account Description <br />Amount <br />FY 20-21 01111190-62300 General <br />Fund <br />Library-Tech & Support, <br />Contractual Services- <br />Professional <br />$10,260.00 <br />FY 20-21 01111190-66400 General <br />Fund <br />Library-Tech & Support, <br />Machinery & Equipment <br />$59,109.74 <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
