OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING A WAIVER OF THE NORMAL BID PROCEDURE IN
THE PROCUREMENT OF A SPERRY 80/MODEL 8 COMPUTER AND EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, the growth and capacity of the current mainframe computer
system has been exhausted eliminating the ability to add planned major
programs to accommodate the City' s centralized data processing needs;
and
WHEREAS, staff recommends replacement of the present system with a
Sperry System 80/Model 8 computer which will provide the necessary growth
and capacity to meet the City' s needs for mainframe computing for the rest
of the decade; and
WHEREAS, total cost for this system is approximately Three Hundred and
Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($385,000) , which dollar amount has been
negotiated with the Sperry Corporation at a substantial dollar savings of
nearly One Hundred and Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($115,000); and
WHEREAS, this savings could not be attained from third-party dealers
of Sperry equipment; and
WHEREAS, Section 2-60 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins provides
for the waiver of the normal City bid procedure when such process would
result in a substantially higher cost to the City; and
WHEREAS, monies are available for the lease/purchase of this equipment
over a five year period as a part of the rest of the City' s equipment
lease/purchase package.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS that the normal bid procedure be waived with regard to the procure-
ment of a Sperry System 80/Model 8 computer for a total cost of Three
Hundred and Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($385,000) , said equipment to be
