A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APPROVING PURCHASE OF
AS/400 OPERATING SOFTWARE AND DISK UPGRADE
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, §3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interests of the City to do
so; and
WHEREAS, during the 1997-98, the City Council approved the funding for the upgrade
to the AS/400 Operating System software and the additional disk storage as required by the
specifications included in the Orcom Customer Information Systems Software, and staff is
moving forward with the purchase at this time; and
WHEREAS, on July 16, 1997 the City Council authorized the lease/purchase of an
AS/400 RISC computer so that "mission critical" application software could be replaced prior to
the year 2000; and
WHEREAS, the established operating system Version 3, Release 7 now needs to be
upgraded to Version 4 in order to complete the implementation of the JD Edwards and Orcom
Software; and
WHEREAS, in addition, staff recommends that the City take advantage of IBM's
"software subscription" effective with Version 4, whereas the City will pay a one-time upgrade
cost, followed by an annual subscription cost for all subsequent upgrades; and
WHEREAS, with this program the cost for staying current on the operating system is
revised to a more manageable annual cost rather than the greater cost associated with a
version -by -version upgrade; and
WHEREAS, on April 15, 1998 the City Council authorized the purchase of Orcom's
Customer Information Systems Software and the funding for the additional disk storage for the
AS/400 as required in the specifications included in the Orcom contract; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends purchasing and installing the operating software and
disk upgrades at the same time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby approves
the purchase of AS/400 Operating Software and Disk upgrade in the approximate amount of
$124,000.00.
Dated: February 3, 1999
