THE HONORABLE CI
of 1991
ACTION:
RICHARD RODRIGUEZ, TENANT
MAY 29, 1991
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
BACKGROUND
The Honorable City Council approved a current fiscal year budget
appropriation of $5,300.00 in account #121.906 for the capital
purchase of portable radios, computer, printer and associated
hardware for the police department's clerk.
DISCUSSION
The current budget appropriation authorized the purchase of
computer hardware equipment with an estimated cost of $3,500.00,
based on information provided to staff by County Information
Systems Department (ISD). This cost information was for the
purchase of an IBM PS/2 Model 25/286 computer with letter
quality dot matrix printer.
Staff considered intended use, data storage needs and
compatibility with existing city and East Valley Sheriff's
computer hardware inventory to determine the appropriate
equipment purchase. Staff solicited bids on the following
computer hardware from County computer bidders:
IBM PS2 Mod-25/286
IBM PS2 Mod-30/286
IBM PS2 Mod-55SX/386
HP LaserJet III

POLICE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE
Specifications covered by the price information included 30 MB
hard disk, 5 1/4" external drive with adapter, adapter kit,
monitor and printer accessories.
Staff has also conferred with city personnel for comments and
been advised that the dot matrix printer does not produce a good
quality reproduction on the city's copy machine. Additionally,
the city is currently purchasing computers with the 386 CPU.
After reviewing the available hardware and information provided
by city staff, the most appropriate purchase is the IBM PS 2,
Model 55SX/386 and HP LaserJet III printer available through
ComputerLand, the lowest bidder.
Sufficient funds exist within account #121-906 for this
purchase. Although $3,500.00 was originally budgeted for this
purchase staff was able to acquire the portable radios through
the County and saved the $1,800.00 approved for their purchase.
RECOMMENDATION
Request that the Honorable City Council authorize the
expenditure of up to $4,600.00 from account #121.906 for the
purchase of computer equipment.
