RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
WAIVING THE FORMAL BIDDING PROCESS AND
ACCEPTING THE LOWEST RESPONSIVE, RESPONSIBLE
PRICE QUOTE FROM COMPUCOM SYSTEMS FOR THE PURCHASE
OF PANASONIC "TOUGHBOOK" LAPTOP COMPUTERS
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 97-63, the City Council of the City of
National City determined that the Panasonic line of "Toughbook" lap computers was the
standard for the Police Department's Automated Field Reporting System and approved the
purchase from TIG/MicoAge as part of a turn -key solution; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department requires additional laptops for replacement
and supplementation; and
WHEREAS, the Panasonic CF-27 "Toughbook" laptop computer is a very
specialized piece of equipment, with few companies authorized by Panasonic to sell them; and
WHEREAS, TIG/MicoAge is no longer an authorized reseller of the Panasonic CF-
27 "Toughbook" laptop computer; and
WHEREAS, several vendors were contacted and only three were authorized
resellers of the Panasonic CF-27 "Toughbook" laptop computer; and
WHEREAS, from the price quotes received from the three authorized resellers,
CompuCom Systems was the lowest, responsible quote; and
WHEREAS, since price quotes already exist and there are no other known sources
to contact, no further purpose would be served by initiating a bid process; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.220 of the Municipal Code authorizes dispensing with
the formal bidding procedure when the City Council determines that it is in the City's best
interest to do so.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
National City that the Council finds and determines that it is in the City's best interest to
purchase the Panasonic CF-27 "Toughbook" laptop computers without complying with the
competitive bidding procedure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of National City
that the Purchasing Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the City a Purchase Order
between CompuCom Systems and the City of National City to effect this purchase.
