PROPOSED PAYMENT APPROVAL
Department(s): Cook County Assessor’s Office
Action: Payment Only
Payee: Dell Marketing, Chicago, Illinois
Good(s) or Service(s): (30) Dell Outlet Latitude 14 - 5490 laptops
Fiscal Impact: $24,990.00
Accounts: 11000.1040.15050.531690.00000.00000
Contract Number(s): N/A
Summary: The purchase of the laptops was a COVID-19 related emergency expense to be used by CCAO employees working remotely. The CCAO is a public-facing office that generates revenue. The work done in our office cannot be completely halted at a time when we are closed to the public. The purchase with Dell Marketing was imperative in order to expeditiously continue office processes in conjunction with complying with the mandated stay-at-home order. Purchasing the laptops from the countywide contract was not feasible as availability was limited and our office could not receive the needed laptops within a reasonable timeframe.
