Use of a Cooperative Contract for the Purchase of 165 Panasonic Toughbook Computers (Replacements) for the Department of Innovation and Technology (Citywide) Computer devices are typically replaced on a 5-year cycle (Cycle Replacement Program). This contract will be used to purchase Panasonic Toughbook computers for the Mesa Fire and Medical Department and Mesa Police Department as part of their scheduled cycle replacement. These devices are specifically engineered for rugged field conditions - capable of withstanding vehicle mounting, vibration, heat, and occasional drops - making them more reliable than standard laptops in public safety and field environments. Staff was able to find these devices at approximately $400 less per unit than the price available through the previous contract, resulting in savings of approximately $66,000. The Department of Innovation and Technology and Procurement Services recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract with Mobile Concepts Technology, in an amount not to exceed $737,700, based on estimated requirements.
