program. The IT Division's 2013 operating budget has $35,000 allocated for this program.
ANALYSIS
The IT and Purchasing Division secured computer pricing from 13 vendors and concluded the
State of Wisconsin Contract with Vanguard Computers Inc. (Contract # 15-20453-105) offered
the lowest price for our 2013 computer order which included 52 HP Compaq 8300 Elite systems
and 3 HP Compaq Z220 Workstations.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2013 computer order will have a total fiscal impact of $34,064.69. Funding for these
computers would be charged to the IT Division operating budget A/N#: 100-0110-6550-0000
($33,465.69)and the Fire Department's Hazmat budget A/N#: 217-0230-6550-20552 ($599).
RECOMMENDATION
Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City Manager,
cooperative purchases pursuant to a contract with any other local, state or federal governmental
unit or agency may be made without following a competitive bidding or quotation process. In
accordance with Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code and because this cooperative purchase is in
excess of$25,000, I am hereby submitting a report of this purchase to the Common Council. If
you have any questions on this purchase please contact me or IT Manager Tony Neumann.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
