TO:
WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT//FIELD SERVICES DIVISION
SUBJECT: TRANSFER/PURCHASE OF OFFICE EQUIPMENT
RECOM/~ENDATION:
Request the Tustin City Council at their regular meeting of June 6, 1988
authorize: 1) the transfer of a Hewlett Packard 150 computer together
with software and LaserJet printer from the Field Services office to the
Water Division; and 2) approve the purchase of an Apple letter quality
printer for the Field Services office.
BACKGROUND:
At present time, the Water Division is using a CRT belonging to the
Finance Department. The Finance Department has indicated a need for
this unit. In order for the Water Department to process information in
the proper fo£m, the format must be compatible with the mainframe
computer. The Hewlett Packard 150 transfer meets this requirement.
The Field Services office presently utilizes a Macintosh computer which
has the capability to interface with the Hewlett Packard 3000 mainframe.
The Macintosh system also integrates other major functions such as fuel
monitoring, equipment inventory, and routine office requirements. The
letter quality printer will complete the Field Services complement of
automated office equipment.
The estimated depreciated value of the Hewlett Packard 150 computer
together with printer and software is $1,586.57. This is based on
original costs depreciated by straight line method over five years. The
cost of a Macintosh compatible letter quality printer is $3,450.00 plus
tax.
Ail costs can be funded from Operations funding in both Water Division
and Public works, thus no supplemental appropriations will be required.
