A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THE
SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF TELEPHONE SWITCH SOFTWARE
UPGRADE FOR MUNICIPAL SERVICE CENTER (MSC), AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL FUND CAPITAL
BUDGET TO COVER THIS PROJECT
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, §3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interests of the City
to do so; and
WHEREAS, the City operates two telephone switches, one of which provides
telephone and data service to the Electric Utility, Finance, Public Works and Police
Departments located at MSC; and
WHEREAS, the MSC telephone switch does not have the software capacity for
additional telephone lines that are currently needed; and
WHEREAS, two options exist (1) expand (upgrade) existing software for the
needed telephone lines, or (2) lease lines directly from the local telephone company;
and
WHEREAS, based on current pricing and estimated demand for telephone lines,
the break-even point, if the City purchases the software versus leasing lines, is between
12 to 24 months; and
WHEREAS, it is staff recommendation that the City Council authorize the sole
source purchase of software based on the following:
• The pricing is based on California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS)
price schedules; and
• WilTel Communications, LLC, formally Nortel Communications
System Inc., is the original equipment supplier and is presently
contracted with the City to perform maintenance; and
• This option is the most cost effective; and
• This upgrade will complement and not create conflicts with other City
owned telephone equipment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby
approves the sole source purchase of a software upgrade for the MSC telephone switch
from WilTel Communications, LLC of Sacramento, California in the amount of
$8,134.00; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that $10,000.00 be appropriated from the General
Fund Capital Budget to cover this project.
