RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Dell Computer Corporation, for the purchase of computers in an amount not
to exceed $19,800.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Housing Authority (SARA) administers the Department of Housing and Urban
Development's (HUD's) Housing Choice Voucher Program for the City of Santa Ana. SAHA's
program has a budget in excess of $27,000,000 annually and serves 2,558 families. This
effective, high performing program utilizes a voucher management software program to
electronically transmit data to HUD on a weekly basis. In order to maintain the integrity of the
program and mandated reporting, SARA requires reliable desktop computers. The current 17
desktop computers are over seven years old and are reaching their end of life service. The
replacement computers, along with an additional notebook for field inspections, will ensure
continued processing of the Housing Authority's Voucher Program, servicing the public directly.
Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any
public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The Western States Contracting Alliance
(WSCA) establishes California Multi-State Cooperative Agreements for Commodities, IT Goods &
Services, and Telecommunications Goods & Services. WSCA agreements are available to all
State of California governmental entities that expend public funds for the acquisition of both
goods and services. Dell Computer Corporation is a manufacturer offering WSCA pricing. This
purchase, when combined with purchases made by the City with Dell Computer Corporation,
exceeds the $25,000 aggregate limit, requiring council approval.
