h Several departments have requested acquisition of additional a..20
micro computers to be paid from their respective departmental
-' budgets. The current contract between the City of Miami and the
Burroughs Corporation has an established price for the B-20's.
However, a recently executed contract between the State of Florida
and Burroughs Corporation would enable the City to obtain the
equipment at a bigger discount.
This resolution is to request the City Commission's approval to
acquire fifty (50) B-20 micro computers, fifty (50) printers, and
other associated peripheral equipment from the Burroughs
Corporation under the currently effective State of Florida
Contract at a total purchase price not to exceed $280,000 and an
annual lease cost of $66,000 to be paid from the various
departmental budgets.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you.
