OF THE
TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF REPORT GENERATOR
WHEREAS, in 1981 the Truckee Donner Public Utility District issued a
call for bids for a new computer system; and
WHEREAS, the bids received were analyzed by staff and a representative
of Arthur Andersen & Company to determine which of the systems bid would best
fill the needs of the District in years to come; -and
WHEREAS, the bid was awarded to Digital Systems, Inc. , and a contract
for ongoing computer programming services was thereafter entered into; and
WHEREAS, the programs puchased include Customer Billing, Payroll, Gen-
eral Ledger, Accounts Payable and Work Orders; and
WHEREAS, all programs have been implemented on the computer system with
the exception of the Work Order program, and
WHEREAS, staff has determined the need to implement an Ultra Report
Generator program in order to streamline many of the District's reporting
requirements and to cut down future programming costs; and
WHEREAS, the Ultra Report Generator is available only through Digital
Systems, Inc. and no other company can supply a comparable product that is
compatible with the existing District system and the Ultra Report Generator

report generator and would cause needless expense and delay without achieving

ator have been included in the 1985 budget;
