MANAGER
RE: PURCHASE OF ZAP MAILER EQUIPMENT
The City has been notified that Federal Express will discontinue Zap
Mailer service February 1, 1987.
Federal Express is offering their customers an opportunity to
purchase the equipment for the cost of an upgrade kit in the amount
of $1,500.00. This will allow the Zap Mailer to communicate with
facsimile machines and other upgraded Zap Mailers. They are also
providing a guaranteed service option, parts and labor for three
years at a cost of $600.00 per year. The only cost to the City will
' be the charges to the City from the phone company for the use of the
phone line that is already in place. These charges will be much less
than the current fees of $200.00 plus per month. Willdan Associates
and the City Attorney's office are purchasing their Zap Mailer
equipment.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of the
equipment and authorize the transfer of the necessary funds.
