Title
Annual Replacement Program of Computers, Ruggedized Laptops and Field-Based Tablets for Various City Departments (Citywide)
The Cycle Replacement Program supports the replacement of approximately 835 devices across City resources, including the Engineering, Police, Fire, Transportation and other departments. For some applications, ruggedized models are necessary since the devices are placed in vehicles and/or used outdoors, and must withstand extreme temperatures and rough conditions. Semi-rugged devices provide rugged support at a lower cost and tablets provide a cost-effective option for some field-based staff. Both alternatives are included in the replacement program.
