Explanation

BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish blanket purchase orders, for the Department of Technology, on behalf of various city agencies, for the purchase of replacement desktop computers, computer related products and equipment. These purchases will be made from a pre-established universal term contract (UTC), FL001696, with Resource One Computer Systems, Inc., expiration date March 31, 2007.

The desktop computers, computer related products and equipment being replaced are outdated and/or obsolete and are used for the running of applications that are very important to the daily operation of various city agencies. Additionally, the desktop computers, computer related products and equipment being replaced do not meet the current minimal City of Columbus specifications/standards. As such, replacement of this equipment is crucial for continued efficiency of city operations. Funds for this purchase are budgeted and available in the 2006 Department of Technology's Internal Service Fund's Budget, in the amount of $160,182.00. Also, this ordinance authorizes the transfer of funds between Object Levels, to accommodate the expenditure authorized by this ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT
Earlier this year, the Department of Technology legislated $269,657.90 with Resource One (Ordinance #'s 0982-2006, 0869-2006, 0755-2006 and 1235-2006) for the purchase of desktop computers and computer related products and equipment on behalf of various city agencies. This purchase will expend $160,182.00 with Resource One. Funds are budgeted and available in the 2006 Department of Technology's Information Services Fund Budget to fund this purchase, which in the aggregate totals $160,182.00.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION:
Emergency designation is being requested by the Department of Transportation, Fleet Management and End User Computing to immediately facilitate this purchase as the equipment is crucial to city operations. ...
