NO. 08-075) LL? CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: APPROVED ? As Recommended ? As Amended ? Ordinance on 151 Reading ? Ordinance on 2nd Reading ? Implementing Resolution ? Set Public Hearing For_ CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Amend the contract with Ricoh Americas Corporation to allocate funds for the remaining two years of the copier leases and maintenance services term, in an annual amount not to exceed $100,000. DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana utilizes copiers and multi-functional office machines to provide faxing, scanning, copying and print functions throughout the organization to facilitate daily operations. In 2008 the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to contract with two local copier vendors to offer competitive quotes for groups of new multi-functional office machines to be leased for three -year periods. Networking office machines has maximized production and facilitated the flow of invoices, department documents and reports between internal departments, as well as providing connections to vendors and customers. The combination features of faxing, scanning, and printing on the copier has eliminated the need to purchase separate office equipment. The final group of leases under this program expires on September 30, 2014. The City released a new RFP in June of this year for managed print services, with an anticipated award to a single vendor to manage the program through a "cost per click" charge on all copiers and printers. The anticipated contract will include copier and printer leases, maintenance, and toner cartridges and will be implemented as current leases expire. Under the existing contract with Ricoh Americas Corporation, the City is obligated to meet the full term of each current three- year lease, with the final group of copiers initiating a three-year lease on October 1, 2011. To cover monthly lease costs for the life of the current contracts, staff recommends allocation of funds through September 30, 2014. 22F-1 Contract Amendment for Copier Lease Allocation of Funds July 2, 2012 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the various departmental Miscellaneous Operating Expense accounts (no. 63001).
