Discussion/Action:
Council Member Yeager stated City Staff has been working to make the City of
San José more energy self-sufficient,
and the Department of Information Technology recommends the purchase of
Energy Star compliant computer desk equipment, however, there does not appear
to be specific language in the City’s contracts with two primary
computer-equipment vendors for energy efficiency. He stated a memo dated March
26, 2001, authored by Mayor Gonzales and Council Member Williams and himself
recommends approving the contract extensions and amends the Staff
recommendation to: (1) Direct Staff to include the level of energy consumption
and related energy cost savings as a criteria for selecting new and replacement
computer desktop equipment, laptop computers, and monitors, including
consideration for LCD monitors and Energy Star equipment beginning upon
enactment of this motion, while not limiting Staff’s ability to consider other
relevant criteria, and (2) Direct Staff to return to Council within 30 days
with a methodology to determine the energy cost savings under higher
energy-efficiency standards similar to Energy Star standards for all City
purchases of computer hardware, software, and peripherals. Council Member
Yeager moved approval of the Staff recommendation and the amendments proposed
in the afore-mentioned March 26, 2001, memorandum. Vice Mayor Shirakawa, Jr.
seconded the motion. Council Member Dando suggested Staff include in the report
comparisons between money saved and any increased acquisition costs. Mayor
Gonzales clarified that the direction to Staff is applicable to future
agreements and purchases. On a call for the question, Council approved contract
extension to said agreements for purchase of computer hardware, software, and
peripherals, as amended in the March 26, 2001 memorandum from Mayor Gonzales
and Council Members Yeager and Williams, and Resolution No. 70230, entitled: “A
Resolution of the Council of the City of San José Authorizing the Director of

Silicon Valley and Sarcom, Inc. for Citywide Purchases of Computer Hardware,

3.6 Report on Request for Proposal and adoption of a resolution authorizing the Director of General Services:

(General Services/Information Technology)
Documents filed: (1) Memorandum from Director of General Services, Steve S. Yoshino, and Chief Information Officer of Information Technology, Wandzia Grycz, dated March 7, 2001, recommending the adoption of said resolution. (2) Undated letter from rs-unix.com, protesting the proposed agreement with Sun Microsystems.
Discussion/Action: Chief Information Officer, Wandzia Grycz, made the Staff presentation. Vice Mayor Shirakawa, Jr. stated he preferred this item be deferred for one week to allow Council time to review the issues surrounding the evaluation process which were raised by another vendor and asked for clarification regarding the allegation that Sun Microsystems did not submit a storage network as required by the Request for Proposal (RFP), which would have affected their bid amount. Wandzia Grycz responded that the RFP and addendums clearly specified the City did not have specific expectations regarding the type of hardware to be proposed and a storage network was not a requirement of the RFP. She stated the intent of the RFP was that proposers identify their best solution to the needs of the City’s critical business application. She stated the process was fair and equitable and the RFP process does not require the City to select and award the contract to the lowest bidder. Because of a tight timeline to negotiate the contract and implement the system to meet the January 2002 schedule for the payroll system initiation and the mailing of employee W-2 forms, she stated a deferral would compromise the RFP process and could necessitate invalidating the process and starting again. Council Member Dando expressed similar concerns regarding the timeline creating a necessity to rush through such an important contract with long-term implications.
The following individuals spoke in support of the proposal: Ron Passak, Vice President, Finance, Sun Microsystems, Tom Lynch, Pacific Northwest Program Manager for Sun Microsystems, Tom Meier, Sun Microsystems; and Julie Webster, Sun Microsystems’ Account Representative for the City of San José. Speaking against the proposal were Stacy Hunter, Director of Technical Services, rs-unix.com, and Alice Isaacson, IBM e-Server Manager. Council Member Diquisto moved approval of the Staff recommen-dation. Council Member Cortese seconded the motion. Mayor Gonzales stated he generally favors the RFP process because it allows more creativity and discretion to interpret responses and provides a better end result. Vice Mayor Shirakawa, Jr., stated he would prefer a deferral to enable a better understanding of the ramifications and is not comfortable with moving forward today. Council Member Dando stated she is concerned about the short time factor involved and will not support the motion. On a call for the question, the motion carried, and Resolution No. 70231, entitled: “A Resolution of the Council of the City of San José Authorizing the Director of General Services to Negotiate and Execute an Agreement with Sun Microsystems, Inc. for Computer Equipment”, was adopted. Vote: 7-2-0-2. Noes: Dando, Shirakawa, Jr. Disqualified: Council Member Williams, who is a stockholder and former IBM employee; and Council Member Yeager, who has a financial interest in the computer equipment industry.

He stated issues related to rates and new services which were deferred for efficiency and rate analyses will be provided to Council in August or September, 2001. He stated Staff will review rates for the 20-gallon cart program, present options associated with the yard trimmings cart, and propose rate restructuring for the multi-family rates in consideration of the change in bin size and recycling/garbage collections at apartment complexes, for presentation to Council in time to have rates in place and customers notified by Fall 2001, for a program effective date of July 2002. He stated direction for Staff to comply with the City Auditor’s recommendations has been accomplished through incorporation into the contracts and into the next steps which are scheduled for report in August/September 2001: (a) revised cost and revenue estimates for Recycle Plus 2002 and (b) analyses of revenue, cost, and programmatic implications of pricing decisions regarding new service rates.
