FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funding to purchase computer -related supplies is included in the General Fund Budget and Internal Service Fund Budget approved by the City Council as part of the annual budget process. DESCRIPTION: Over the last several years, the City has engaged Dell Marketing, L.P. for computer -related purchases for daily business operations. The City routinely replaces computers and related equipment when these items reach the end of service life, currently defined as four years or longer for desktops and mobile devices. The City has typically utilized Dell computer equipment for its desktop and server operating systems and displays. These products, as well as Dell's customer service and build quality, have been well regarded by Staff. Purchases thus far in Fiscal Year 2022-23 have been under the City Manager's $45,000 purchasing threshold outlined in the Municipal Code and have therefore not required City Council approval. In preparation for the next round of equipment updates, Staff is requesting the City Council's approval to continue to use Dell for software and hardware products. Pagel of 2 iIFl Section 2.36.100.A.9 of the City's Purchasing Policy provides an exemption to the competitive bidding process when another public agency has administered a competitive bidding process and has a current valid agreement for the same or substantially similar consultant or professional services, general services, supplies or equipment. Dell offers its products to local government agencies based on an agreement with the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing Program. The NASPO ValuePoint agreement was competitively bid and is a Master Contract that can be utilized by local government agencies. This procurement tool has been used effectively by the City for several years. The original NASPO agreement and subsequent amendments are included as Attachment 2. The most recent amendment extends the agreement to July 31, 2023. Approval of the Resolution (Attachment 1) will authorize the City Manager or designee to approve purchases from Dell in excess of $45,000 until the agreement expiration. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: City Council Agenda was posted.
