If you have any questions about the procedure feel free to call John Wheeler at 612-296-9874. He will be taking over Marilyn Remer's duties while she is .on maternity leave. Also, you can call the other members of the automation committee - Alan Gray, Don Boell, Jack Bittle, Emil Dahlberg, Bill MaliR and P~l McClurg. They are also available if you have any suggestions for implementation of automation in the cities. If you are a consultant receiving this letter, please make sure to send copies of this information to the city or meet with the engineering section of the city to discuss this automation package. For your information we have enclosed copies of the previous letters, so that you can better follow the process. One other item that should be co.nsidered in deciding whether to purchase -.the standard computer is that a connection to the' state mainframe will be required next year. . Intertech is the state agency that operates and maintains the state mainframe. Their managers have info~ed us that they will only offer support for IBM computers if problems arise! Computers that have been purchased from Ameridata will come with menus, software and batch files installed. They will be ready to use as soon as they are turned on. Training information will be provided at a later time. The state Aid Office will provide training for specific state Aid Applications in May, June, and October of next year. The Automation committee will be working with the st. Paul Technical Institute to develop a training schedule for early next year for the standard software packages. Also, cities can check with their local technical institutes and community education to receive computer training. Further information and demonstrations of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and state Aid applications will be given at the Public Works Conference on November 25, 1989 and at the City Engineers Annual Meeting on January 18, 1990. sincerely, I71.Ci/~ "1\. ~ ~~ ~ Gordon M.
