Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANA E <br /> <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a three-year agreement with <br /> PCC Network Solutions, a Pacific Coast Cabling, Inc. company to provide cabling services to the <br /> City in an amount not to exceed $45,000 per year with provisions for three one-year renewals, <br /> subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> The Finance & Management Services Agency Telecommunications Division provides operations, <br /> voice and data communications services to all City departments. Cabling services are needed to <br /> support changes, additions and moves throughout the City. This cabling work ensures that all <br /> City offices and work locations continue to stay connected and benefit from new technology as it <br /> becomes available. <br /> <br /> The City has standardized its cabling infrastructure with the Commscope Systimax product. This <br /> product was selected for its durability and flexibility and when installed by a certified cabling <br /> vendor, the product has a 20 year warranty. Use of this reliable product has resulted in very low <br /> cable maintenance costs. The cabling vendors who provide such services to the City must meet <br /> manufacturer certifications. <br /> A competitive procurement process was conducted to solicit proposals from cabling services <br /> vendors. A 'Request for Proposal' (RFP) was developed which defined the City's cabling <br /> services requirements as well as proposal evaluation criteria. On June 6, 2013, the RFP was <br /> posted on the City's website and sent to 15 prospective vendors. The City received seven written <br /> proposals. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 25F-1 <br />
