APPROVED BY:
We have money in the 2003 CIP budgets to acquire new PC workstations. Currently we replace 1 /2 of
our workstations every two years so that the PC's are typically never more than four years old. This
allows us to keep pace, to a certain degree, with technology especially as our software needs
continue to change. The Police Department is in the process of upgrading their software and all of
their workstations need to be upgraded to work with the new software. The other workstations will be
allocated based on need and age. We anticipate that the cost for the workstations that we will be
purchasing will be under $50,000 so we will not be required to go out for formal bids. Based on our
purchasing policy, we are still required to receive Council authorization to solicit quotes for items
between $25,000 and $50,000. We have sufficient funds in the budget to proceed with this project
and are asking for your authorization to proceed at this time.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize staff to solicit quotes for the purchase of PC workstations for the City of Rosemount.
