AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Engineering
Plotter for the Electric Utility Department
MEETING DATE: August 16, 1995
SUBMITTED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications and
authorize the advertisement for bids for one Hewlett
Packard DesignJet 650C color inkjet plotter for the
Electric Utility Department's Engineering Division.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Inkjet plotter technology provides the capability to pro-
duce complex drawings in under ten minutes, compared to
an average 45 -minute output from a standard pen plotter.
In addition, color plotting will allow clear definition of electrical system components, such as locations
of switches, breakers, transformers, primary and secondary distribution cables, as well as other public
utility installations. Finally, specification of the HP DesignJet provides consistency in supplies ordering
and inventory, since the Public Works Engineering Division also uses an HP DesignJet plotter.
This budgeted item will supplement the Division's five-year-old pen plotter, and will provide network
connectivity for multiple users.
FUNDING: Budget Account: 16.0-604.13-501
Amount Budgeted: $9,000
