SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends City Council adopt a Resolution to Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute Purchase Orders for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 with Dell Technologies for Computers and Technology Equipment Using the State of California NASPO ValuePoint Master Price Agreement for the Combined Amount of $300,000.
BACKGROUND
The Information Technology Department (IT) maintains over 500 computers, 200 mobile phones and iPads across the City to support important business functions. Regular and prompt replacement of aging computers and technology equipment is critical to ensure the effective and efficient operation of City business.
The current state of computers and technology equipment utilized by City staff is aging and in desperate need of replacement. The existing fleet of computer equipment utilizes legacy desktop technology and does not support the mobility needs of a modern workforce. This situation causes significant inefficiencies and a negative impact on work productivity.
Analysis
Staff recommends utilizing the State of California NASPO ValuePoint Master Price Agreement, a statewide competitively bid contract, to obtain the best pricing available for the City.
