WHEREAS, there are 245 computers utilized by City of National City staff that
are approximately five years or older; and
WHEREAS, those computers are utilizing hardware, operating systems
(Windows XP), and productivity software (Microsoft Office 2003) that are at End of Support
("EOS"), which will cause software updates and spare parts to become increasingly difficult to
obtain when hardware of software issues occur; and
WHEREAS the Information Technology ("IT") Department desires to purchase
245 desktop computers and Microsoft Office Software from Dell, Inc., for an amount not to
exceed $234,870 by waiving the bid process and utilizing Western States Contracting Alliance
("WSCA") Contract B27160; and
WHEREAS, the City of National City will get the best price for the computers and
software by "piggybacking" the State's WSCA Contract B27160; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code provides that
the City may buy directly from a vendor at a price established through competitive bidding by
another public agency whose procedures have been determined to be in substantial compliance
with the City's procurement procedures, and such a determination has been made in this case.
It is therefore recommended that the purchase be made without complying with the competitive
bidding procedure set forth in the Municipal Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby affirms the determination that the State of California's procurement
procedures are in substantial compliance with the City's, and pursuant to Section 2.60.260 of
the Municipal Code, authorizes the waiver of the bidding process for the purchase of 245
desktop computers and Microsoft Office Software from Dell, Inc., for an amount not to exceed
