AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Engineering Printer
For Parks Division
MEETING DATE: December 6, 2000
PREPARED BY: Parks & Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve that specifications and authorize the
advertisement for bids for one engineering printer for the Parks
Division of the Department of Parks and Recreation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Parks Division's current engineering printer, a Hewlett-Packard
DesignJet 250, will have been in service for five years this coming
February. It has been upgraded to its maximum memory capacity,
and has undergone periodic repairs.
Recently, print clarity has deteriorated, and an estimate of cost of repair exceeds $1,000. With newer
CAD software requiring greater printing capabilities, replacement of the DesignJet 250 with a new HP
DesignJet 800 is the best alternative. Not only does the DesignJet 800 have greater processing
capabilities (line drawings in 60 seconds, vs. 5 minutes for the DesignJet 250), it offers greater memory
(160Mb maximum vs 36mb maximum for the 250), better print resolution for detail work (2400 x 1200
dpi vs. 600 dpi on the 250), and standard network connectivity for use by other department personnel.
It is therefore recommended that the City Council authorize the solicitation of bids for one Hewlett-
Packard DesignJet 800C, as specified.
