RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF DATA GENERAL 525 MB TAPE DRIVE
RESOLUTION NO. 345, 92
, Introduced by Mr. Nick Caimano who moved
for it's adoption, seconded by Mr. Michel Brandt.
WHEREAS, the Director of Accounting Services has recommended
that the Town of Queensbury purchase an increased capacity tape
drive for the Data General Computer in the Accounting Office, and
WHEREAS, the Director of Accounting Services has indicated
that his recommendation is made as a result of the length of time
it currently takes to back up Town computers and the number of
cartridges it uses, and
WHEREAS, the Director of Accounting Services advises that with
the purchase of the increased capacity tape drive, his department
will be able to start backing up the computers as of 4:30 p.m. each
day, unattended, and therefore avoid back up work during the usual
work hours, and
WHEREAS, the Director of Accounting Services has indicated
that the cost of the new tape drive is $5,985.00, less a state
contract discount of $1,616.00, or a total amount of $4,369.00, and
WHEREAS, the Director of Accounting Services also advises that
it would be difficult to obtain quotes on this type of computer
tape drive unit and that the Town should purchase a Data General
Tape Drive, as the remaining components of the system are
manufactured by Data General and are currently under service
contract, and
WHEREAS, the Director of Accounting Services has advised that
the above-described computer would be compatible with current
computer hardware,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
notes that the purchase is between $1,000.00 and $5,000.00, and
therefore, under the purchasing rules, does not require an
alternative quote if State or County Contract pricing is used, and
the Town Board further notes that there are good reasons to
purchase the unit from Data General, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
authorizes the purchase of the unit from Data General as requested
by the Director of Accounting Services, and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
authorizes a transfer of funds from the contingency account (001-
1990-4400) in the amount of $4,369.00 to the Accounting Department
computer hardware account (001-1310-2031) and hereby further
authorizes payment for the aforesaid computer tape drive from the
Accounting Department computer hardware account.
