(MWH) far the acquisition, program management and implementation of a Capital Project Management System (CPMS}. As of September 2008, the implementation is 80°/p complete and currently in the integration and testing phase. The primary purpose of the CPMS is to improve management and tracking of capital projects across City departments. Integral to the operations of CPMS will be the daily updating, reporting and collaboration from Department of Engineering Construction Inspectors. One of the driving advantages of CPMS is moving from a paper system to an electronic format. For Inspectors to be able to function at the capacity required far CPMS they will need portable computers. The harsh work environment the computers will be exposed to necessitates that the computers be "ruggedized". The Panasonic Toughbook 18 meets this criteria as well as a list of other requirements to become paperless. The City Council approved a purchase agreement (M&C P-10348) on April 4, 2006, with Portable Computer Systems, Inc., for the acquisition of Panasonic notebook computers, peripheral equipment and maintenance. To accomplish this portion of the CPMS project, the Engineering Department will acquire 60 Taughbaak computers. The notebook computer useful life expectancy is at least 38 months. The Engineering Department will use the Inter-Fund Loan process to finance the computers for 38 months. On August 8, 2008, the Council approved M&C G -15341 adopting an appropriation ordinance for financing of scheduled technology equipment replacement by all City departments. The M&C indicated that Council approval would be sought for special or large project Inter- fund loan requests. The computer equipment for the Engineering Department project was oat included in this request.
