A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AWARDING BID FOR
THE PURCHASE OF TELEPHONE SYSTEM UPGRADE FROM
SBC -PACIFIC BELL UNDER THE TERMS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA CALNET CONTRACT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, during the past three years the City Council has approved purchases of various
communications equipment from SBC -Pacific Bell under the terms of the State of California
competitively bid CALNET contract; most particularly Council resolutions 99-53 and 99-106; and
WHEREAS, the CALNET agreement has been written with a refresh clause, which ensures
that the State (and the City) will get the lowest prices for goods and services during the term of the
contract. The CALNET contract will end in 2005; and
WHEREAS, the proposed upgrade is estimated at $48,000.00. Staff has obtained extensive
pre -sales engineering and design, and an informal quote from SBC -Pacific Bell under the State's
CALNET contract; and
WHEREAS, in January 2001, after seeking pre -sales design from Nextira (formerly Williams
Communications,) staff had budgeted $20,000.00 for upgrading the telephone system at Hutchins
Street Square Community Center and $25,000.00 to upgrade the main PBX at the Civic Center.
Upon entering into more extensive system design with Pacific Bell engineers, more precise costs
have been developed. The upgrade of Civic Center PBX is required to allow the Community Center
to be upgraded, for Fire Station #4 to be connected to the City's telephone system, and to allow for
growth at the Civic Center. The telephone PBX is at maximum capacity with all card slots populated;
no telephones can be added at this time. The PBX currently consists of a main cabinet and two
expansion cabinets. Staff is recommending the addition of one expansion cabinet for this PBX at the
Civic Center and adding two 16 port cards, which would allow 32 more telephone to be added. The
PBX can eventually handle an additional 200 telephones with additional cards.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby awards the bid for
the purchase of telephone system upgrade for the City's main telephone system switch (PBX) and
the Community Center's telephone system to SBC -Pacific Bell, of Stockton, California, under the
terms of the competitively bid State of California CALNET contract, in the amount of $48,000.00.
