CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Lease/Purchase
of Engineering Copier System (EUD 91-8)
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 1991
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications and
authorize advertisement for bids for the lease/purchase
of an engineering copier system.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The engineering copier will oe used in the Departn,: nt' s
Mapping Division to produce durable and fade-resistzint
copies of computer generated system maps, diagrams acd
schematics for use by all Divisions in both field and
office environments. The Department's transition to computer generated records has
created the demand for a large volume of reproductions during the transition period
and on an ongoing basis for update and maintenance functions. An analysis of the
various options available and considering manpower, turnaround time and availability
during emergencies strongly favors the 'in-house' capability as the most cost
effective.
The lease/purchase option has been selected due to indications that very low or zero
interest payment plans may be offered on a 3 -year lease program. However, the
bidders have been asked to submit a purchase price as well (estimated at $10,500)
such that the City can evaluate the most economical option at time of award,
The bid opening date has been set for December 4, 1991.
FUNDING: Available within the Department's 1991-92 fiscal year budget.
