Mecting Date: December 6, 2006
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Authorize City Manager to enter into a contract with AT&T DataComm in the amount of

BACKGROUND
Staff was notified in late August that, as of January 1, 2007, Cisco Systems would no
longer provide service and maintenance on the currcnt version of routing equipment that
supports the City's local area computing network. The network allows staff to use the
Internet, c-mail, and computer files to conduct business with other City employees and
the public. It also allows backup of data as part of the City's business recovery plan.
An urgent upgrade of routing equipment is necessary to ensure that the City does not go
for an extended length of time without vendor support of this hardware. The upgrade will
also allow future technology such as voice over internet phone service. As allowed by
State Government Code Section 14931, staff proposcs to purchase the upgrade through an
existing State contract with AT&T and its business divisions, a contract that was
competitively bid and awarded by the State Department of General Services. The
contract, known as CalNet Integrated Services, will supply new Cisco routing cquipment
to the City through AT&T DataComm.
FISCAL IMPACT
This purchase is funded by a $100,000 budget amendment in account 610-9856-9400
approved by the City Council on November 6, 2006,
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize City Manager to enter into a contract with AT&T DataComm in the amount of
$86,632.97 for a network router upgrade.
