AGENDA TITLE: Adopt a resolution authorizing the 1 -year renewal of a service
maintenance contract for the City's wide area network premise
equipment through WAN/LAN Solutions of Roseville ($13,321.40)
(IS)
MEETING DATE: May 2, 2001
PREPARED BY: Information Systems Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the 1 -year re-
newal of a service maintenance contract for the City's wide area
network premise equipment through WAN/LAN Solutions of
Roseville in the amount of $13,321.40.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Due to the critical nature of certain key elements within the City's
Wide Area Network, it is imperative that the City maintain a rapid -
response service contract with a reliable service provider to assure
maximum network uptime.
During the current fiscal year, WAN/LAN Solutions has provided coverage under such a contract.
WAN/LAN was selected as the service provider for the City's premise equipment for several reasons.
First, WAN/LAN Solutions was involved in the original design and installation of the network, and has in-
depth knowledge of its configuration and operation. This knowledge is particularly critical in the Police
Department, where downtime would paralyze the department's operation. Second, WAN/LAN Solutions
is a Cisco Premier Certified Partner and an Adtran Certified Provider, and both certifications apply to the
City's equipment. Certification is indicative of a provider's knowledge and understanding of a
manufacturer's design, operation, and integration of key components of a network. Third, WAN/LAN's
service contract prices have been, and continue to be, fair and reasonable.
It is expected that as critical equipment is added to the network during the coming fiscal year (Fire
Station 4 and the remote high schools sites, for example), such equipment will also be added to
coverage under the service contract.
