HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04142015 - C.83RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the County Librarian, a purchase order
with Dell Computers in an amount not to exceed $174,900 for replacement of computer equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds are in the Library's FY 2014/2015 budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Library maintains over 965 computers through its 26 community library locations, with 179 computers that are
six and seven years old, far exceeding their lifetime recycle schedule. In order to support community library service
needs of providing free computer access to the Internet and other software, and to upgrade to the Windows 7
operating system and the Internet Explorer 10 web browser to improve the performance of web technology and
quality of web typography, the Library will purchase 179 new computers and monitors to replace the aging hardware
and software.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board elect to not approve the recommendation, the library's access to web applications and newer
technology to support user expectations will continue to be diminished.
