(J) REPLACEMENT PRINTER FOR CHECK PRINTING

It is requested that Council approve a 60-month lease contract for one (1)

Ricoh Pro C5110S Production Solution printer from Ricoh Corporation (West

Caldwell, NJ). The cost includes: $15,000.00 initial down payment, monthly

lease cost of $1,100.20 per month, as well as, .0089 per black and white copy

and .048 per color copy billed quarterly, and a $1.00 buyout at the end of the

lease. The purchase will be accomplished by cooperative purchasing via U. S.

Commodities contract number 4400003732. The contract includes installation,

training, toner, staples and onsite service.



The new printer is needed to replace one of the printers in the Data Center

housed in I.T. because the current printer used for the financial system is not

compatible with the new web based financial system that is set to go live in

January 2017. This printer will also give the City the capability to still

print from the old mainframe system that the City currently uses due to its

ability to operate certain coding that only functions with the old mainframe

system. I.T. currently pays about $965 per month to lease the current printer

and the replacement printer's monthly lease amount will be approximately $1,100

per month. Future savings are also anticipated once the City completely

migrates from the old mainframe system because we will be able to eliminate

another printer in the Data Center that only functions with the old mainframe

system as well.

The US Communities Contract is a publicly bid contract specifically for

government, education and nonprofit entities. Over 95,000 local, city and

state entities purchase off of this contract to meet their copier and printer

needs without having to go through the rigorous process of bidding. Ricoh was

the successful vendor for RFP # 2000000264, issued by US Communities. This

contract was nationally negotiated for either leasing or purchasing

equipment/software. The City is a member of US Communities and the RFP process

utilized by US Communities meets the City?s Procurement requirements.

Additionally, Ricoh is the current contractor providing copiers to all City

Departments, per Resolution #46-15.

Funding for the initial down payment of $15,000 is budgeted in the FY17 Budget

as follows: General Fund ? Finance ? Financial Planning ? Equipment/Rental

Lease; 0101 ? 200 ? 2900 ? FPLN - 6543. Funding for the monthly lease payment

and quarterly copier charges will be budgeted in the appropriate fiscal years

as follows: General Fund ? Information Technology ? Computer Equipment

Maintenance; 0101-210 -1000 ? ISS ? 6511.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A 60-MONTH LEASE CONTRACT FOR ONE (1) RICOH PRO C5110S

PRODUCTION SOLUTION PRINTER FROM RICOH CORPORATION (WEST CALDWELL, NJ). THE

COST INCLUDES: $15,000.00 INITIAL DOWN PAYMENT, MONTHLY LEASE COST OF

$1,100.20 PER MONTH, AS WELL AS, .0089 PER BLACK AND WHITE COPY AND .048 PER

COLOR COPY BILLED QUARTERLY, AND A $1.00 BUYOUT AT THE END OF THE LEASE. THE

PURCHASE WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY COOPERATIVE PURCHASING VIA U. S. COMMODITIES

CONTRACT NUMBER 4400003732. THE CONTRACT INCLUDES INSTALLATION, TRAINING,

TONER, STAPLES AND ONSITE SERVICE.



WHEREAS, the new printer is needed to replace one of the printers in the Data Center

housed in I.T. because the current printer used for the financial system is not

compatible with the new web based financial system that is set to go live in

January 2017. This printer will also give the City the capability to still

print from the old mainframe system that the City currently uses due to its

ability to operate certain coding that only functions with the old mainframe

system. I.T. currently pays about $965 per month to lease the current printer

and the replacement printer's monthly lease amount will be approximately $1,100

per month. Future savings are also anticipated once the City completely

migrates from the old mainframe system because we will be able to eliminate

another printer in the Data Center that only functions with the old mainframe

system as well; and,

WHEREAS, Ricoh was the successful vendor for RFP # 2000000264, issued by US

Communities. This contract was nationally negotiated for either leasing or

purchasing equipment/software. The City is a member of US Communities and the

RFP process utilized by US Communities meets the City?s Procurement

requirements.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:



That the City Manager is hereby authorized to enter into a 60-month

lease contract for one (1) Ricoh Pro C5110S Production Solution printer from

Ricoh Corporation (West Caldwell, NJ). The cost includes: $15,000.00 initial

black and white copy and .048 per color copy billed quarterly, and a $1.00

buyout at the end of the lease. The purchase will be accomplished by

cooperative purchasing via U. S. Commodities contract number 4400003732. The

contract includes installation, training, toner, staples and onsite service.

Funding for the initial down payment of $15,000 is budgeted in the FY17 Budget

as follows: General Fund ? Finance ? Financial Planning ? Equipment/Rental

Lease; 0101 ? 200 ? 2900 ? FPLN - 6543. Funding for the monthly lease payment

and quarterly copier charges will be budgeted in the appropriate fiscal years

as follows: General Fund ? Information Technology ? Computer Equipment

Maintenance; 0101-210 -1000 ? ISS ? 6511.
