AGENDA TITLE: Sale of Hewlett-Packard HP1000 Computer System
MEETING DATE: August 7, 1991
PREPARED BY: Public Wo& Director
RECOMMENDED ACWN That the City Council authorize advertisement for bids for the
sale of one Hewlett-Packard HP1000 computer system.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Woks Departmentpurchased the HP1000
mini -computer system approximately 5 years ago for use in
computer aided drafting (CAD) and mapping. This system is
due for major upgrading due to reduced response times, mainly
in working with large City maps. With changes in computer
technology, the drafting and mapping work has been nincd to more standard and
versatile PC-based systems currently in use in the department.
Last fiscal year, Council approved a personal computer with drafting software.
Staff evaluated the system and determined it was in the City's best interests to
rnme the drafting aridmapping functions to PC's. On March 20, Council approved a
special allocation for an in
personal computer with drafting software to
allow the department to proceed with the transfer of files from the HP1000 system.
Currently the majority of the riles have been transferred to the PC systems. All
remaining files will be transferred in the next few weeks.
The Public Wc& Department would like to sell the obsolete HP1000 system as soon as
possible, before it loses any additional resale value.
FUNDING: Tbw required.
