DATE: August 20, 1997
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMB RS 0 THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT GARCIA, CAPT
VIA: HENRY GARCIA, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT COMPUTERS
Background:
Approximately a third of the departments computers are obsolete and need replacement. The
four computers requested will enable us to retire four of those obsolete computers.
Findings:
Written quotes were obtained from the following three vendors:
JET Research Laboratories, INC $8,893.82
Gamma Industries $8,811.56
Complete Computer Cure $9,863.76
Recommendation:
Given the technical problems we have had in the past with several of our hardware providers
(including Gamma Industries, who is low bidder in this case), I strongly recommend that we
purchase the computers from JET Research. My recommendation is to approve the acquisition
of four new computers to be funded from the CIP account for fiscal year 97/98.

satisfactory results. Shortcuts taken during the.construction phase of the computer have caused problems
connecting and interfacing with the existing network. It is my strong recommendation to purchase the
computers from Jet Research.
