A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING THE LEASE/PURCHASE OF AN AS/400 RISC
COMPUTER, AND THE PURCHASE OF HARDWARE AND
OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE
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, the existing AS/400 based "mission critical" application software must be
repaired or replaced prior to the year 2000 in order to avoid system failures; and
WHEREAS, new software will occupy greater disk space and computer memory, and will
require much more processing power to operate efficiently. Modern database oriented
applications require greater resource, but deliver much greater value in terms of availability and
content of information. Newer applications also provide improved functionality and accuracy of
data along with a much improved user interface; and
WHEREAS, in addition to meeting the Year 2000 need, we must be ready for citywide
connectivity and communication and have the repository of data which the future will demand; and
WHEREAS, the current AS/400 is seven years old, with outdated processor design, and
is not capable of handling the demand included with today's sophisticated software.
WHEREAS, it is staff recommendation that the City Council authorize the five year
lease/purchase of the AS/400 RISC Computer, and the purchase of new mag tape backup,
fax/modem, and the operating system software; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby approves the
five year lease/purchase of an AS/400 RISC Computer, and purchase new mag tape backup,
fax/modem, and the operating system software from IBM in the amount of $236,460.60 and
$50,000.00 respectively.
