Director John Corbett, Gene Holt, General Manager, and Mary Chapman,
staff, reviewed computer systems offered by IBM Corporation, North
Central Data Cooperative, Utility Operators, Inc., Vartron Corporation,

computer systems are unique and their successful operation depends upon
the subjective analyses of proposed operators, among other factors; and

visits to observe Oregon Computer and Digital Systems in use, in
Goldendale, Washington and Roseberg, Oregon, respectively; and
WHEREAS, after reviewing all of the facts, the Computer Purchase
Review Committee recommends acquistion of the Digital Systems RECAP
System for the following reasons:
1. All applications software are available now with only minor
amounts of customizing to be done.
2. Their extensive list of users in the electric utility field
and just recently their electric and water utility field is unmatched.
3. Because of programming for so many utilities, the
applications have many options built into the programs that are
immediately available for use. With Oregon Computer, we would have to
define the way we want a program now and future changes would be made at
a charge; and
WHEREAS, all of the systems have been compared as to functions,
availability of hardware and software, timing of installation,
capability of expansion, ease of operation, integrity of maintenance and
