Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the purchase of thirty-seven (37) Panasonic "Toughbook" Laptops for the Fire Division from an existing State of Ohio Term Schedule Contract with Insight Public Sector. These laptops are replacement units for the "Toughbook" laptops currently installed in Emergency Medical Services vehicles for use by paramedics with CAD and pre-arrival instructions at emergency scenes. The Fire Division has a need to replace existing equipment that are beyond their useful life and will no longer be warranted. Utilizing the State Term Schedule Contract will permit the timely ordering of thirty-seven (37) Panasonic "Toughbook" laptops at a comparable price to previous purchases. Included with this laptop purchase will be an extended five (5) year service warranty agreement. This purchase between the City of Columbus and State of Ohio is authorized by Ordinance 582-87 that allows for the cooperative purchasing between the State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services Cooperative Contracts and other governmental entities.

Bid Information: A State of Ohio Term Schedule Contract exists for this purchase (State Term Schedule STS033 /OAKS Contract No. 534242).

Contract Compliance: Insight Public Sector 36-3949000 (active c.c.)

Emergency Designation: This legislation is to be considered an emergency measure to allow for the immediate purchase of this communications equipment so emergency services can continue without interruption.

FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the appropriation, transfer and expenditure of $145,404.40 from the General Permanent Improvement Fund and the appropriation and expenditure of $50,000.00 from the Safety Initiative Fund.
