City Council Report 
 
Date: 
May 18, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
52-Month Use of a Cooperative Term Contract for the Purchase of Apple 
Computer Products for the Department of Innovation and Technology 
(Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended.  
 
The Department of Innovation and Technology and Procurement Services recommend 
authorizing the purchase using the Mohave Educational cooperative contract with Apple in 
an amount not to exceed $600,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 
5% or the adjusted Consumer Price Index. 
 
Background / Discussion 
 
This contract provides for Apple PC cycle replacements and supplemental purchases of 
laptops and tablets for various Citywide departments as needed. It supports the City’s 
ongoing PC Cycle Replacement Program, ensuring that end-user devices are refreshed on 
a regular schedule to maintain reliability, security, and compatibility with current software 
standards. In addition to scheduled replacements, the contract allows departments to 
procure supplemental equipment to meet operational needs, accommodate staffing 
changes, and support evolving technology requirements. 
 
The Mohave Educational cooperative contract has been competitively bid and meets the 
City’s procurement requirements. Utilizing the Mohave contract allows the City to secure 
competitive rates based on a formally solicited agreement. The City believes the pricing is 
fair and reasonable and issuing a separate solicitation for these products would not result in 
the City receiving more favorable pricing or terms.
