Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance Director to establish a purchase order for the Department of Technology on behalf of the Transportation Division to purchase replacement computers from a universal term contract (UTC FL001696) with Resource One.  The current equipment utilized by division personnel has reached a critical point where performance issues now exist in running current computer software and applications on substandard equipment.  This purchase eliminates any computer-related performance problems and allows the Transportation Division to continue daily operations of roadway and traffic engineering, construction inspection, and One Stop Shop functions.  

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $50,000 are budgeted and available in the 2004 Department of Technology internal service fund budget to cover this purchase.
