Resolution to Approve a Purchase Order with SEHI Computers for FY2015 PC Replacement Program ($55,765.00)
Memorandum
The attached resolution requests approval to issue a purchase order to SEHI Computers for the purchase of personal computing equipment for the FY2015 PC Replacement Program.
Funds for this project in the amount of $60,000.00 have been budgeted in the approved FY 2015 Information Technology Services Unit budget. There are no additional funds being requested at this time.

Bid pricing under ITB 4197 remained valid until December 2013. In reviewing all available options to obtain pricing for PC replacement after December 2013, and before any decision to release a new bid was made, cooperative pricing opportunities were researched and evaluated.
