A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING PURCHASE OF AN AS400 COMPUTER
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do
so; and
WHEREAS, in 1997 the City Council approved the purchase of an AS400 Mainframe
Computer at a cost of $236,460.00, which runs all the major software applications for the
City, such as the JD Edwards enterprise resource planning system and the Orcom billing
program among others; and
WHEREAS, the current AS400 has become underpowered for the demands being
made of it today, and IBM will cease support of the current AS400 model in two years; and
WHEREAS, IBM is offering a limited -time offer for the purchase of a new AS400 at a
50% discount, thus saving the City approximately $100,000.00; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends purchasing the new AS400 from Logical Design, Inc.,
of Rancho Cordova, California, in the approximate amount of $100,000.00.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
