The GIS Department requests approval to purchase one replacement large format plotter through GSA contract, Schedule 70. Our GIS department uses a plotter to print large maps for various departments. The current plotter was purchased in 2007 and has been experiencing mechanical failures and decreased quality in printing. Staff has investigated the purchase of a replacement for the plotter and is recommending the purchase of an HP DesignJet Z6800, which is a wide-format 60” printer, designed for graphics applications. The cost of the HP plotter on the GSA contract is $11,991.71 from IRG Plotters and Printers, Inc. This is a budgeted item in the Technology line item of the Equipment Replacement Fund.
Please contact the Technology Director if you have any questions.
