POLICE DEPARTMENT COPIER PURCHASE
The search for a new copier for the police department began in
earnest in March, 1994. The existing Toshiba BD8510 was purchased
in January of 1989 and has close to 460,000 copy usage; over 25,000
copies were made during the last quarter of 1994. Since the
existing copier makes only 32 copies per minute, it was determined
that an upgrade would be needed to address the higher volume per
month and also a stapler to hasten sorting projects.
.
The first copy machine tried was a Ricoh FT6645 (45 copies per
minute), but was quickly eliminated due to the cost exceeding
$15,000.00. Five other copiers were examined (see attached quotes)
and two of these models had paper tray cassettes, rather than
drawers, which were deemed undesirable. The Toshiba 5540 (55
copies per minute) was clearly the superior choice by all staff.
In fact, I checked with three Toshiba dealers and received three
GSA prices ranging from $10,679 to $13,540 for the same copier
($2,861 difference). Consequently, American Photocopy was the
dealership considered for testing the Toshiba 5540.
wi th the base price of $10,679, American Photocopy would not
consider a trade-in, but an even better alternative was to also
keep our existing copier and the maintenance would be included in
the price quoted for the Toshiba 5540; a current savings of $1,100
annually (1993 budget). This maintenance agreement would include
unlimited service calls, all parts, all supplies (excluding
staples/paper), all labor, and all travel time for both copy
machines. This proposal would be available for the duration of
time that the city owned both copiers (not to exceed a 5%
increase) .
Leasing the Toshiba 5540 was also a consideration, but the $387.33
per month for 3 years (plus tax on each payment) was not advised by
Finance Director, Lori Johnson.
RECOMMENDATION
.
I recommend that the City purchase the Toshiba 5540 from American
Photocopy at the price of $11,373.14 (including tax). with this
transaction, we would inherit the flexibility of having a copier
for back-up purposes, as well as addressing the need for a copy
machine in two locations with the addition of personnel within the
police department. All this would be achieved for approximately
the same full maintenance cost that we now experience.
