DISCUSSION
The City contracted with Dynix, Inc rn 1990, to provide hardware and software for an
automated library system and for maintenance of that system in the above cited contract The
vendor has fulfilled all of its obligations in a timely and efficient manner, providing the Library
with software capable of meeting the public's expectations for information services However,
the computer hardware purchased in 1990 no longer has that capability
Since 1990 the world of information availability and provision has changed dramatically Citizens
now expect the Library to provide dial-up access to it's catalog That bibliographic database
must be augmented by informatEgn sources which employ sound, graphrc and video presentation
in addition to text The public also relies on fhe Library to provide their gateway to the
international data networks known as the Internet These services require computer hardware
with more power, main memory and disk storage than is available with the Library's current
hardware. platform
The vendor has crafted a contract amendment to provide the City with a new computer platform
at the extremely attractive price of 5120,000 down and 581,961 per year for five years, a figure
which includes annual fees for hardware and software maintenance The equipment will meet
today's information demands It also has the growth potential to provide additional data services
to the expanded user base which is anticipated in the future Dyn~x, Inc is the only source for
this upgrade
Funding for the upgrade is available from a Special Revenue Fund set up in 1986, when Haltom
Gity first purchased library automation services from Fort Worth Revenue from that .and
subsequent purchases by both Haltom City and the City of Keller was set aside to provide the
means for upgrading the Library's computer system to meet new demands without impacting the
General Fund budget The cash balance in the Special Revenue Fund, Automated Library System
is 5270,660 00 The .available cash balance after the proposed expenditure will be
5150,660 00 The upgrade detailed in the proposed amendment to Contract 12417 ~s exactly
