SAHA's <br /> program has a budget in excess of $27,000,000 annually and serves 2,558 families. This <br /> effective, high performing program utilizes a voucher management software program to <br /> electronically transmit data to HUD on a weekly basis. In order to maintain the integrity of the <br /> program and mandated reporting, SARA requires reliable desktop computers. The current 17 <br /> desktop computers are over seven years old and are reaching their end of life service. The <br /> replacement computers, along with an additional notebook for field inspections, will ensure <br /> continued processing of the Housing Authority's Voucher Program, servicing the public directly. <br /> Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any <br /> public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The Western States Contracting Alliance <br /> (WSCA) establishes California Multi-State Cooperative Agreements for Commodities, IT Goods & <br /> Services, and Telecommunications Goods & Services. WSCA agreements are available to all <br /> State of California governmental entities that expend public funds for the acquisition of both <br /> <br /> goods and services. Dell Computer Corporation is a manufacturer offering WSCA pricing. This <br /> purchase, when combined with purchases made by the City with Dell Computer Corporation, <br /> <br /> exceeds the $25,000 aggregate limit, requiring council approval. <br /> 22C-1 <br /> <br />
