Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> ' ~ / : <br /> ~ L~ J~ FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY ANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Award a contract to Dell Computer Corporation, for the purchase of computers in an amount not <br /> exceed $61,000. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) have identified 58 computers <br /> in need of scheduled replacement. The PRCSA has 300 computers agency wide. This <br /> replacement comes due, as a result of them being seven years old and reaching the end of their <br /> life service. PRCSA is working with the Information Services Division to reduce the number of <br /> standard PC's required by PRCSA. Almost half of the funds for this purchase are coming from <br /> grants and donated monies. Forty six of the new PC's will be going to Central and Newhope <br /> libraries, most of which will be used by the public in computer labs and by children to complete <br /> homework assignments. In addition, six PC's will be going to replace the public computers at the <br /> Logan Center. The remaining new PC's will be assigned to staff at the Agency's recreation <br /> centers, corporate yard office, and administrative office. PRCSA continues to work with IS to <br /> minimize PC replacement costs, and will continue to identify grant funds and donated monies to <br /> minimize the impact on the City's general fund. <br /> The Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from <br /> any 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 /> and Services, and Telecommunication Goods and Services. WSCA agreements are available to <br /> all State of California governmental entities that expend public funds for the acquisition of both <br /> goods and services. Dell Computer Corp. is a manufacturer offering WSCA pricing. <br /> <br /> This 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 /> 22B-1 <br /> <br />
