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.
