Title
Dell Computer Purchase
History
A number of computers are becoming obsolete and need to be replaced. The current budget calls to replace 45 computers in the Village, including 25 desktop computers with monitors and 20 laptop computers along with other peripherals for a cost of $110,000. At this time, staff is recommending the purchase of 20 desktop computers and monitors and 18 laptop computers and peripherals at a cost of $54,631.76.
Staff is recommending this purchase from Dell Marketing LP., utilizing pricing from the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) cooperative purchasing contract #C000000181093. The MHEC procurement rules require their technology contracts be awarded based upon a competitive RFP process.
Financial Impact
This was budgeted in 2024 for $110,000. Through the Midwestern Higher Education Compact Contract #C000000181093, the total costs came significantly under budget.
