Title
Desktop Computer Replacement Purchase - Approval
History
Desktop computer replacements in the Police Department were included in the FY2024 budget. The Police Department currently utilizes Dell OptiPlex desktop computers and monitors. In total, forty-three (43) desktop computers are being proposed as replacements for models that are 5 to 10 years old. Current Police Department applications are much more graphic and CPU demanding, which causes these older systems to run slow.
In order to receive the best possible pricing, all budgeted desktops were consolidated into one purchase.
The Village is eligible for discounted contract pricing from Dell under the Midwestern Higher Education Compact Contract #MHEC-04152022.
Staff is recommending the purchase of forty-three (43) Dell computers with three-year Pro Support warranties.
Financial Impact
This hardware expenditure is included in the FY2024 Police IT budget, line item 1005010-570410, in the amount of $57,691.00.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of forty-three (43) Dell computers in an amount not to exceed $52,806.15.
