HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09102013 - C.83RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Librarian to execute a contract in the amount of $144,942 with 3M Library
Systems for service and maintenance of self-check and self-return equipment, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
security gates, RFID digital library assistants (to read RFID tags), and staff workstations in support of the functions
for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the service agreement is $144,942 and is included in the Library's FY 2013/2014 budget.
BACKGROUND:
3M equipment is used throughout the library’s 26 locations. The service agreement covers 120 pieces of equipment
plus software and includes labor, parts, and equipment modifications. Service can be requested via an 800 number 24
hours 7 days a week. The equipment under the service agreement is used for book/media security equipment,
inventory equipment, and customer self service equipment. The Library staff is experienced with 3M equipment and
support. Since all of the library's self-service equipment is manufactured by 3M, it is imperative for network and
training that the systems are compatible and the same in each location, especially for staff that move between
locations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Library self-service functions will not be maintained, resulting in increased staff mediation and decreased customer
satisfaction.
