Council to review $19,001.99 purchase to replace 16 police computers, funded by SPLOST 2024
Summary
Staff recommended purchasing 16 police department computers to replace equipment past useful life; the Amazon quote totals $19,001.99 and the replacement would be funded from the SPLOST 2024 public safety allocation due to operational and cybersecurity concerns.
Finance staff told the council the police department's existing computers have exceeded their useful life and pose operational and cybersecurity concerns, and recommended accepting the lowest acceptable quote to replace 16 units.
"It will be funded through SPLOST 2024, the police department allocation or the public safety allocation," Lynn McDonald said, and staff recommended accepting the Amazon quote totaling $19,001.99. The presentation noted staff obtained three quotes and used direct sourcing because the purchase quantity (16 computers) is relatively small for large asset purchases.
Council was given the purchase details during pre-council review; the item was presented for consideration on the regular agenda.
