This purchase will be made under the State of Texas Qualified Information Systems
Vendor (QUISV) Catalog Program as authorized by Texas Government Code, Title 10,
Subtitle D, Chapter 2157.
In accordance with the above referenced Texas Government Code quotations were
requested from three Qualified Information Systems Vendors with one responding.
Portable Computer Systems, Inc. provided the lowest and most responsive proposal. A
bid tabulation is attached for review. The non -responding vendors indicated they did not
respond because Portable Computer Systems is the authorized distributor for the
Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
The Fire Department will use the computers in situations that require use during
emergency response. Portable Computer Systems, Inc. has proposed Panasonic
models which are designed specifically for this purpose and are very reliable.
These computers were previously authorized for purchase from FY 2001 funds.
Staff recommends approval.
