Title
Resolution to Approve a Purchase Order with Dell Marketing L.P. for FY2021 PC Replacement Program and Appropriate Necessary Funding for a Computer Tablet, Modem and Antenna ($5,647.00) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The attached resolution requests approval to issue a purchase order to Dell Marketing L.P. for the purchase of personal computing equipment for the FY2021 PC Replacement Program, for a computer tablet, modem and antenna used in all fire apparatus for emergency first response, and to increase the overall project budget using the IT Fund Balance planned and reserved for future PC replacements.
On October 19, 2020 via #R-20-1467, City Council approved the purchase of replacement computer tablets, modems and antennas used in all Fire Apparatus however that resolution did not allow for the purchase of a testing tablet already in the City's possession. This request will provide funding for that additional tablet.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: This project was not budgeted as part of the FY21 Information Technology PC Replacement budget. It is requested that $5,647 be appropriated from the FY21 Information Technology Fund PC Replacement budget for this purchase.
