Contract Amendment and Contracts Award <br />for Cellular Phones, Accessories and <br />Airtime Service (Spec. No. 03-036) <br />January 5, 2004 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />On April 21, 2003, the City Council awarded contracts based upon the <br />State of California contracts for cellular phones, accessories, and <br />airtime service to Nextel Communications and Verizon Wireless. <br />Recently, the State of California awarded new contracts, based upon a <br />competitive bid process, which will provide the City with current <br />cellular phone equipment, as well as substantial discounts from list <br />price. <br /> <br />The City establishes annual limits on contracts based upon past usage. <br />During the past contract period, usage with Nextel Communications has <br />increased due to equipment replacements and upgrades and an increase in <br />airtime services. The vendor has consistently provided discounted <br />pricing and quality customer service to the City. Therefore, staff <br />recommends amending the contract with Nextel Communications. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Funds are available in the various departmental Communications accounts <br />(object code 6211). <br /> <br /> APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br /> <br /> ~'-R. loma-- <br />~Executi~ Director <br /> Finance and Management Services Agency <br /> <br /> RRC/TO/03-036-A-R.2:li <br /> <br />22.D.
