A communication was submitted by the Superintendent of
Light & Power, in which it was noted that the machine
bid by Olivetti Corp. of America and the International
Business Machines Corp. did not meet,the specifications
as published. While the Olivetti machine, using
Magnetic Ledger, provided equivalent specifications,
it was further noted that delivery date for Olivetti

Register Co. The difference in time would cost the
Light & 'Water Department approximately $4,666.66 were
they to wait the 120 days.
It was the consensus of Council that the delivery date
was an important part of the bid, and that it is•in the
best interests of the City and the Light & Water Depart-
'ment that the machine be delivered in as short a time
as possible, thereby saving the City a considerable
amount of money.

The Director of Public Works addressed Council and

that it uses crushed glass instead of rock agfr-egate.

and would reimburse the City for the cost of materials.
The City is interested in doing this as a test to compare
'the qualities of the new material with the regular.
asphaltic concrete. It is not necessarily the intention at

though the bid will include it as en alternate. Primarily,
the City is interested i. seeing hit the price differences

In his recommendation, the City Administrator looked needs within
at several alternatives, as follows: City
(1) Purchase of an accounting machine for (tabled to
Accounting Department, and abandonment 9/7/71)
of all present EDP applications.
(2) Continued rental of present EDP equip-
ment, with certain reductions in costs.
(3) Purchase of present EDP equipment.
(4) Maintain data processirgapplications by
leasing time on another user's 1130
computer.
'It was his recommendation that Alternate //4 (the leased
time on another user's computer) would be in the best
interests of the City because it would maintain the
present programs, there would be no conversion costs,
and would allow for continied development of -data
processing applications, all at a machine cost of less
than one-third of the present cost of machine rental.
It was noted that the Accounting Director was not
present because of illness, and that the Police Chief,
was not present because of vacation, and these two
persons would be most Involved in the effects of the
decision in this matter. Therefore, it was felt that
a decision in this matter should be delayed until such
time as these Department Heads could be present.
