FINANCE DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: For Authorization to purchase new AS400 hardware and software from
Logical Design, Inc.
DATE: June 24, 2004
Contractor: Logical Design, Inc.
2055 N. Hall
Mesa, AZ 85203
CONTENTS: Proposal from Logical Design, Inc.
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, authorize:
1) Staff to negotiate a contract with Logical Design, Inc., in the amount of
$50,000 to provide new AS400 Computer system.
2) Appropriate $50,000 from General Fund reserves for purchase of a new IBM
iSeries (AS400) computer system.
Discussion:
The current iSeries (AS400) computer was installed in the fall of 1998 as part of the City's
preparation for the Year 2000 date change issues. The system has worked flawlessly over the 6
years it has been used. This system runs the Building Permits, Business License, Payroll,
Purchasing, Accounting, Cash Receipts, Code Enforcement, and Land/Parcel Management
software from HTE (our software provider).
As we continue to upgrade the computers operating system, components (hardware) being
phased out will not be supported in future releases of the operating system from IBM. Rather
than "piece meal" the system as we upgrade the operating system (finding which components are
no longer supported, and then replacing hardware with hardware) it would be more advantages to
the City to upgrade the entire computer system at this time. Our H.T.E. software vendor requires
the City to only use the IBM AS400 platform. Two vendors under the state pricing provided us a
bid.
IBM has just introduced the next generation of the iSeries. We will be acquiring the latest
technology that will be used for the next several years. They are also offering special pricing that
will end the first part of July, 2004. The current system cost $60,000 in 1998. The new system
will costs $50,000 and be over 3 times faster in performance than the current system and have 3
times the storage capacity for data. Pricing is based on the State of Calif. CMAS Government
rate that we can participate under their agreement.
