These sophisticated technology centers support operations and <br />services for all City Agencies and Departments. Over 2,500 computerized <br />devices and 2,200 telephone devices are connected through these centers to <br />provide essential voice and data services. The electronic components which <br />make up these technology centers have critical electrical power <br />requirements. The electrical infrastructure for the computer data and <br />telephone centers must be carefully engineered and maintained to ensure <br />these vital systems are protected and will continue to run even under the <br />loss of normal utility power. The City has a need for highly specialized <br />electrical contracting services and consul ting in support of the ci ty <br />computer data and telephone centers. <br /> <br />A request for proposal (RFP) for required electrical-related services was <br />issued seeking a California licensed electrical contracting firm with <br />specialized experience in critical power systems for computer centers and <br />telephone centers to provide services in four areas: (1) Design and <br />installation of electrical infrastructure including providing parts and <br />equipment, (2) Preventive maintenance of specific electrical <br />infrastructure, (3) Corrective maintenance with an eight (8) hour <br />response, and (4) Other electrical services on an as required basis. <br /> <br />25K-1 <br />
