BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During the past three years the City Council has approved staff to make purchase for various communications project 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. The CALNET agreement has been written with a refresh clause that 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. [CALNET Contract wording] Section 17. ANNUAL SERVICE REVIEW For the purpose of maintaining competitiveness throughout the term of this Agreement, Contractor agrees to a joint review of its pricing and service functionality, and marketing efforts annually to ensure State and its customers will receive cost and technologically competitive services throughout the terms of the Agreement. Contractor agrees that no other customer of Pacific Bell and MCI, collectively or as individual companies, will receive better rates for a substantially similar suite of services offered under substantially similar terms and conditions when the volume of business from the other customer is equal to or less than the volume of business the State delivers under this Agreement. Revised: Amendment No. 1 - 1214198 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. 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 will allow 32 more telephones to be added. The PBX can eventually handle an additional 200 telephones with additional cards.
