Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Susan Olsen, Director Procurement Services
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On behalf of the Information Technology, Procurement Services is requesting ratification for the bulk order purchase of essential computing equipment to support organizational operations. This purchase includes 76 Dell Standard Desktops, 3 Advanced Desktops, 11 Standard Laptops, 7 Advanced Laptops, 1 Docking Station, 4 Advanced Docking Stations, and 92 Standard Monitors.
This equipment is designated for deployment to Marion County Fire Rescue, serving as either replacement equipment for aging or non-functional devices or new equipment for employees requiring additional technology resources.
