STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Brian Ross,Information Systems Director
DATE: October 27,2003
RE: Waive formal bid process for computers
ISSUE
Should the City Commission waive the formal bid process and piggyback off the Florida State
Contract 250-000-03-1 for the purchase of computers?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
During the City's budget workshops there was much discussion regarding the costs of PCs. Staff
has reviewed the costs of PCs on the open market,from local vendors, state contract,and hand-
built. The analysis of that research shows that Dell's state contract pricing is the lowest of all
these possible vendors. Continuing to purchase Dell computers also helps keep support costs
minimized as we continue to standardize on one vendor across the City for this fourth and last
phase of the computer upgrade cycle.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests the Mayor and City Commissioners to waive the City's formal bid
process and authorize staff to purchase Dell computers from the Florida State Contract
250-000-03-1.
