purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so; and
WHEREAS, the City's current voicemail system, a Lucent Octel product, is not Year 2000
compliant and will not function past December 31, 1999; and

down time and there will be minimal employee training necessary; and

Lucent -Octel which all carry the Octel Voicemail system product; and

WHEREAS, the current telephone system is at maximum capacity and needs to be
upgraded; and

assisted the City in engineering a solution to upgrade the current telephone system that will coincide
with the voicemail system upgrade, and has quoted a cost of $112,21820 (tax included) to do the
suggested upgrade; and
WHEREAS, it is preferable to do both the voicemail and telephone upgrade at the same
time to minimize disruption of services to the public and employees and to integrate both without
