Therefore, Master Meter <br />has offered to replace the ten (10) Hydra Lunas handheld units with ten (10) Panasonic Tough <br />Pad tablets with extended life batteries, Tough Mate cases, and the Master Linx software. In <br />addition to the three (3) year Manufacturer's warranty (Panasonic) on the tablets, Master <br />Meter has offered three years of support, including software support, for a cost of $1,500.00 <br />per year. The regular cost for this warranty is $4,500.00 per year. If IRCDUS were to purchase <br />this entire package today, the cost would be $74,01471. <br />FUNDING: <br />There is no cost to the department for the exchange of the units. However, the department <br />would have to.purchase the three years of software support at the discounted rate. Funds to <br />cover this are available in the Computer Software budget in the operating fund. The operating <br />fund budget is generated from water and sewer sales. <br />ACCOUNT NO.: <br />Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Computer Software <br />47123536-035120 <br />$4,500.00 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: <br />Declare the ten (10) Hydra Lunas handheld meter reading devices surplus property. <br />Authorize staff to trade in ten (10) Hydra Lunas handheld meter reading devices for ten <br />(10) Panasonic Toughbook tablets with extended life batteries, Tough Mate cases and three <br />years of support service for the discounted rate of $4,500.00 ($1,500.00 per year). <br />Attachments: <br />Form for Disposal/Transfer of Excess Property <br />APPROVED FOR AGENDA: <br />Joseph A.
