DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency requires software upgrades for desktop
computers that are not currently using Microsoft Windows 2000 operating
software. Microsoft will no longer support its Microsoft Windows NT
operating software after June 30, 2004. In addition, printer and
accessory hardware compatibility problems with the Windows NT operating
system have resulted in lost productivity, and support for a unified
method to apply and manage security repairs is not available for
Windows NT. The recommended action will ,allow for the necessary
software upgrades to Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating
software.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on March 10-11, 2004 and bids
were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received is
