The desktop computers discussed here are for the City’s ongoing computer equipment replacement and upgrade program. This program is necessary to maintain a reliable and efficient computing environment. Desktop computing equipment has a limited useful business life of three to five years. After this time, computers become outdated to support newer software in an effective manner. Every year through the CIP, the Information Systems Department budgets appropriate funds to meet the computer replacement needs of that year. This fiscal year 112 desktop computers are scheduled to be replaced. These computers will be acquired directly from Compaq Computer using a long available and often accessed contract program available to state and local governments as well as schools and libraries. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for the computer replacement program were approved and are available as part of the 1999-2000 fiscal year CIP in the amount of $223,000. Public Works will also contribute an additional $3,700 of budgeted monies to purchase certain equipment with features beyond the basic recommendation of the Information Systems Department. The dollar amount of the purchase may change slightly due frequent model and price changes characteristic in the computer equipment industry.
