CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTOIV <br />%�`?:; ;' ;• DIRECTOR OF UTILItY SERVICES <br />STAFFED AND HARRY E. ASHER <br />.PREPARED BY: ASSISTANT DIREC OR OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />`SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PURCHASE OF TWO DISK DRIVES FOR IBM AS400 <br />BACKGROUND. <br />The Department of Utility Services installed its IBM AS400 computer <br />system and associated utility billing system software in August <br />1989. At that time, the Department was billing approximately 6,700 <br />water and 5,197 sewer billings for a total -of 11,907. The <br />Department in March 1991 billed 8,813 water and 6,636 sewer accounts <br />for a total of 15,449. The Department has also automated its work <br />order system and is currently billing 622 financed impact fee <br />accounts versus 300 accounts in 1989. During this period, both IBM <br />and HTE (utility billing/financial software) have had annual <br />improvements (updates) to our software programs, which have required <br />additional disk storage capacity. <br />ANALYSIS• <br />Due to the customer billing increase (30%), financial impact fee <br />account increase (108%), plus the above annual system updates, the <br />system is currently operating between 82% and 85% of capacity. The <br />customer base is projected to increase by 20 to 25% by 1992 and the <br />Department will increase utilization of the system for more <br />efficient overall system operations. All of the above factors <br />indicate it is a necessity that we install additional disk storage <br />capacity. The current system has two 600 MB of disk storage <br />capacity. The Department would request permission to install two <br />(2) additional 600 MB disk drives. The disk drives would be <br />purchased under the State of Florida Pricing Contract and will cost <br />$10,586.00 each plus shipping costs. Funding for this purchase <br />would be from cash forward funds. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />The staff of the Department.of Utility Services recommends approval <br />by the Board of County Commissioners to purchase the two (2) disk <br />drives requested at a cost of $10,586.00 each plus freight. <br />70 <br />MAY W 11991 <br />
