Ir,LE, of the City Commission FROM: Cesar H. O d i o City Manager RECOMMENDATION: sus,ECT: Proposed Resolution, Waiving Requirements for Formal Bids REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: It 1s respectfully recommended that the*City Commission adopt the attached resolution waiving the requirement to advertise for Formal Bids to acquire additional equipment for the City of Miami, Department of Public Works' Computer Aided Drafting and Design System. BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works has determined that a waiving of the requirements for formal sealed bids will permit the most advantageous purchase of the necessary, compatible equipment and support for the City's Computer Aided Drafting and Design System. The original acquisition of this system was authorized by City Commission Resolution No. 83-393, which waived Formal Bids. This system now requires additional equipment, including a modem and error controller, an additional hard -disc drive, interface, terminal, plotter, cables, workstation license, and supporting equipment, in order to operate effectively and efficiently. Since this additional equipment must function with the existing hardware and software system, and it is only available from the original supplier, Holguin, the Public Works Department requests approval of the attached resolution. Total proposed expenditure is not to exceed $50,000; funds are available from the account entitled "Computer Aided Drafting b Design System - Phase II", project 314223.
