A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING CONTINUATION OF THE CITY OF
LODI'S COMPUTER PURCHASING PROGRAM
FOR DESKTOP AND NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS
WHEREAS, on September 20, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution
2000-160 authorizing staff to purchase desktop and notebook computers, as budgeted, through fiscal year
2001 in aggregate amounts of $15,000.00 or less, using competitively -bid agreements with Micron or Dell
under the US Communities Government Purchasing Alliance; and
WHEREAS, Micron has since changed its name to MPC, and U 5 Communities began
contracting with distributors rather than directly with manufacturers. Subsequently, the California Multiple
Award Schedule (CMAS) and Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contracts replaced US
Communities as the means for California public agencies to buy computers directly from MPC; and
WHEREAS, WSCA added contracts with Hewlett-Packard and Dell for PCs, notebooks, and
servers, offering substantial discounts below distributors' prices to participating public agencies; and
WHEREAS, on July 2, 2003, the Council adopted Resolution 2003-112 extending authorization to
purchase desktop and notebook computers under CMAS and WSCA contracts through June, 2005; and
WHEREAS, Government Code §6502 allows the City to participate jointly with other public
agencies in such programs, and Lodi City Code §3.20.070 allows alternative methods of procurement
when such methods are in the best interest of the City; and
WHEREAS, it is therefore recommended that the City Council authorize continuation of the City's
computer purchasing program for desktop and notebook computers through June 2006, in aggregate
amounts of $15,000.00 or less, from the participating agencies, through WSCA, without further
competitive bidding or Council approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize
continuation of the City's computer purchasing program for desktop and notebook computers through
June 2006, in aggregate amounts of $15,000.00 or less, from MPC Computers (Micron), Hewlett-Packard,
or Dell Computers, under the State of California contracts awarded through CMAS and through WSCA,
without further competitive bidding or Council approval.
