This requires an extensive cabling <br />infrastructure. Cabling services are needed to support changes, additions <br />and moves at and between the City sites. This cabling work ensures that <br />all City offices and work locations remain connected and benefit from new <br />information technology as it becomes available. The City employs outside <br />vendors to perform needed cabling services. <br />The City has standardized its cabling infrastructure with Avaya Systimax <br />cabling. This was selected for its durability and flexibility. When <br />installed by a certified cabling vendor, the product has a 20-year <br />warranty. Use of this reliable product has resulted in very low cable <br />maintenance costs for the City. The cabling vendor/s who provides such <br />services to the City of Santa Ana must meet strict manufacturer <br />certifications. <br />In September of 2004, the City Council approved a three-year agreement <br />with PACIFIC COAST CABLING, with provision for two, one-year renewals, to <br />provide cabling services and related equipment. This will be the second <br />and final amendment to the agreement. <br />25D-1 <br />
