L. Mullins ENCLOSURFS Resolution
Purchasing Agent
It is recommended that a resolution be passed waiving the
requirement for formal sealed bids and authorizing the
purchase of two Disk Drives and One Tape Drive from
Burroughs Corporation at a total cost of $112,980.00.
The Department of Computers and Communications has requested the purchase of
two Disk Drives and one Tape Drive, as additional equipment.
The equipment must be totally compatable with the City's existing Burroughs
Disk Drives and Magnetic Tape Units. Therefore, Burroughs is the only vendor
who can supply this equipment.
These units are needed to handle the increased data storage requirements for
on-line User Systems. Demands are increasing rapidly due to more transactions
being entered daily into the data base disc files. All data entry is being
done through on-line terminals; and the Disk and Tape Units with the B1700
Computer are no longer available.
Funds for this purchase are available in the 1981-82 Operating Budget.
The Department of Computers and Communications concurs with this recommendation.
