STAFF REPORT
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Brian Ross, Information Systems Director
DATE: July 26, 2004
RE: Waive the City's formal bid process for purchase of PCs from Dell.
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners waive the City's formal bid process and
piggy-back off the State of Florida Contract 250-000-03-1 for the purchase of five docked
laptops, and three desktops from Dell Inc.?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
As noted in Assistant Chief Firstner's staff report on April 20, 2004, The Ocoee Fire Department
has received a grant for Emergency Operations Center(EOC)upgrades. The Fire department
wishes to spend some of that grant money equipping the EOC with eight(8) computers.
Dell provided quotes for the City's standard desktop PC and docked laptops. Dell's pricing per
State of Florida Contract 250-000-03-1 is $3,371.77 per docked laptop and $1,400.57 per
desktop. Therefore,the total cost of five (5)docked laptops and three(3) desktops would be
$21,060.56.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends the waiving of the City's formal bid process and purchase of five
laptop and three desktop computers from Dell's State of Florida Contract 250-000-03-1.
