INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIVISION

M E M O R A N D U M

 

To:                  Honorable Mayor and City Commission

 

By:                  Richard D. Sala, City Manager

 

From:              Brian K. Raducci, Finance Director

                        Jack Naparano, Information Technology Manager

 

Date:               July 17, 2007

 

Subject:           Computer Replacements/Surplus for FY 2007

 

To enhance employee productivity and keep pace with rapidly changing technology, the City, like many entities, uses a technology computer replacement process for staff.  Under this process, computer equipment is replaced every 3 to 5 years.  This process reduces hardware failures and maintenance cost while also maximizing our staff’s operating use and efficiency.  Our FY 2007 computer replacement process calls for the following computer equipment purchases to replace our outdated equipment and expand the use of computer technology in our City, where needed.

 

Computers covered in this memorandum reflect all of the replacements for FY 2007.  Replacements include new computer purchases, computer reallocations and computers for surplus.  During the year, some of the older computers will be replaced while others that are still operating effectively will be reallocated.  Equipment reallocations help reduce costs while providing reliable equipment where needed.  Since beginning the practice of replacing computers every 3 to 5 years, the Information Technology Division has been able to maintain a moderate and orderly annual computer replacement rate of 20 to 25%.

 

  • Surplus –          33 older and outdated computers (will be sold at the next City auction)
  • Re-allocate –    10 existing computers to non-critical or low use areas
  • Purchase –       23 new replacement computers from Dell at a cost not to exceed $25,200.

 

Recommendation:

Staff recommends Commission’s consideration and approval of the attached resolutions:

 

1.      Authorizing and directing the City Manager to take all steps necessary to make an expenditure of $25,200 for the purchase of replacement computers from Dell Computers.

 

2.      Declaring those certain computers as listed in the resolution, as surplus to the needs of the City, due to the condition of the equipment or property and/or the current needs of the City.
