Contract Award for Millimeter Wave Based Network System <br />November 2, 2009 <br />Page 2 <br />While planned and budgeted for replacement later this fiscal year, the <br />rapid deterioration of this in-place equipment required immediate emergency <br />action in order to ensure uninterrupted service. The Information Services <br />Division has authorized Pacific Services to install a BridgeWave 80GHz <br />AR80AES high-bandwidth digital link. This system is based on new micro-wave <br />broadcast technology which can penetrate most severe weather conditions. <br />The BridgeWave system is the market leader in this technology category and <br />is used by numerous companies and government agencies including the cities <br />of Oxnard and San Diego, the SureFire Corporation in Fountain Valley (which <br />has comparable environmental conditions as the City), and various federal <br />agencies. The Information Services Division requests awarding a contract <br />for the replacement. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Technology Plan Miscellaneous Citywide Projects <br />account (no. 10910146-66400). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Mgt.
