This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a blanket purchase order, for the Department of Technology, on behalf of various city agencies, for the purchase of replacement desktop computers, printers and computer related products and equipment. These purchases will be made from pre-established universal term contracts (UTC's), FL001696, with Resource One Computer Systems, Inc., expiration date March 31, 2008 and FL001717, with Smart Solutions, Inc., expiration date March 31, 2008, and FL002554, with Pomeroy IT Solutions, expiration date December 31, 2007 (the Purchasing Office is in the process of extending this for one year, prior to the expiration date).
