Administration seeks purchases of 250 desktops and monitors to support Windows 11 transition
Summary
The Department of Administration presented two contracts totaling $306,666 for 250 desktops and monitors to replace Windows 10‑incompatible equipment: $60,875 for 50 units from CDW Government and $245,791 for 200 units from Howard Technology Solutions.
City information‑technology staff told council members they will seek approval of two contracts to buy computers and monitors needed to migrate the city’s network from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
The first contract, resolution 25‑312 (agenda item 10.16), would award $60,875 to CDW Government LLC for 50 monitors and desktops through an Educational Service Commission purchasing cooperative. The second, resolution 25‑313 (agenda item 10.17), would award $245,791 to Howard Technology Solutions for 200 Lenovo desktops and monitors via the New Jersey state contract. Presenters said supply‑chain constraints led to two separate orders rather than a single procurement.
Staff said the purchases will use last year’s capital funding for IT; no council member requested further budget details during caucus. The orders were presented for council consideration and will appear on a future council agenda for approval.
