Information Technology
SUMMARY: The Information Technology Division (ITD) is requesting approval to award a purchase order contract to En Pointe Technologies, Inc. (En Pointe), located in Gardena, California, for an amount not-to-exceed $1,800,000 for the purchase of computer hardware, network equipment, and other related equipment, software, supplies, and services. The expiration date of this contract shall be December 31, 2013.
This contract will be used to purchase computer-based hardware to support on-going operations, including as-needed purchases for obsolete equipment replacement, new projects, and future growth. This includes purchasing desktop computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, laptops, routers, switches, and peripherals.
This recommendation is based on the competitive bid process performed by the City and County of San Francisco (San Francisco) for its contract PSC 4056-08/09. The City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) first considered using contracts from other City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles departments. However, the San Francisco En Pointe contract best met the Harbor Department’s requirements, including providing the benefits of volume discounted pricing and reduced administrative burden.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that in accordance with Administrative Code Section 10.15(8), the competitive contracting requirement is met using the responses from the City and County of San Francisco’s Request for Proposals (RFP), which resulted in the City and County of San Francisco awarding its contract PSC 4056-08/09; (2) approve the contract with En Pointe Technologies, Inc. for the purchase of computer hardware, network equipment, and other related equipment, software, supplies, and services for an amount not-to-exceed $1,800,000 with an expiration date of December 31, 2013; (3) authorize the Executive Director or designee to execute the contract; and (4) adopt Resolution No. _______________.
REGULAR ITEM #6
Port Police
SUMMARY: Staff requests approval of Contract No. 39604 to All American Marine, Inc. of Bellingham, Washington, for the purchase of one 65-foot dive vessel. This vessel will replace the existing 46.5-foot dive vessel, which has been in service since 1988, requires frequent repair, and is no longer large enough to accommodate the industry-standard sonar equipment used by the Los Angeles Port Police (Port Police) Dive Team in its operations. The dive vessel is vital to Port of Los Angeles (Port) maritime operations and is the primary platform for the Port Police Dive Team to protect its waterways and critical infrastructures from domestic and foreign threats.
Funds are available in the Port Police Capital Budget, and the equipment is eligible for reimbursement under Port Security Grant Program (PSGP), Round 8. The cost of the vessel is $2,472,616; grant reimbursement for the vessel is $1.5 million leaving a Harbor Department cost share amount of $972,616. After the one-year manufacturer’s warranty expires, the Construction and Maintenance Division (C&M) indicates a maintenance savings of $26,000 annually for the first five years, decreasing to $7,500 each year thereafter, for a total 10-year maintenance savings of $335,000.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) award Contract No. 39604 for the purchase of one 65-foot dive vessel in the amount of $2,472,616, including tax and delivery; (2) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board Secretary to attest to the Contract for and on behalf of the Board; and (3) adopt Resolution No. _______________.
