RE: WAIVE BIDS FOR PURCHASE OF TOUGHBOOK LAPTOPS
For 2011 the Fire and Inspections Departments are scheduled to receive Panasonic Toughbook
laptops. The Toughbook laptops are known for their rugged durability and protection of their
screens, cases, keyboards and hard drives. Three Toughbook CF -19's will be installed in Fire
Department vehicles and nine Toughbook CF -19's will be utilized by the Inspections Division.
Baycom, Inc. holds the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration contract for Panasonic
Toughbook laptops, docking and mounting equipment. The estimated cost for these Toughbook
CF -19 laptops is $39,214.50. Funding for this purchase is included in the 2011 Information
Technology capital outlay budget.
Section 12 -10 (D) (3) of the Municipal Code provides that material purchases, when pursuant to a
contract with any other local, state or federal governmental unit or agency, may be approved by
the City Manager without the use of formal, sealed bids. In accordance with 12 -10 (D) (3) of the
Code, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this purchase.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this purchase.
