Orange County has identified needs and developed specifications for Personal Computers. Orange County advertised the bid and six responsive bids were received. A copy of the tabulation is attached. P.C. Innovations of Cary, North Carolina submitted the lowest responsible bid at a delivered cost of $1,099.00 each for 486 DX2/66 Mhz personal computers, $1,403.00 each for Pentium 90 personal computers, and $6,247.00 for LAN File Servers. The County will purchase a total of forty-one personal computers. The County will purchase some Pentium 90 machines.
