ITEM EXPLANATION Attached is a list of networking equipment needed for the new City of Carlsbad main library and for network upgrades at the Safety Center and City Hall. The City’s Information Systems Department created this list based on the need for new or upgraded equipment in these facilities. This network infrastructure equipment is used to connect all types of computing devices, including UNIX and network servers, desktop computers and printers, etc. This type of equipment is commonly referred to as the “backbone” of the network and is critical to the functions of any local or wide-area network, such as those used by the City. The equipment will be purchased from Ameritech, Inc. by utilizing a California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) contract. CMAS contracts are State of California contracts which are available for use by local agencies. The City has used them successfully several times. In the rapidly changing computer equipment industry, prices tend to drop and models are frequently replaced with upgraded items. The actual equipment purchased may differ slightly from the items on the attached list. The Information Systems Department will review and approve any changes. I FISCAL IMPACT Total cost for the project will be $106,559.32, barring minor configuration changes. The equipment purchased for the new library will be funded from the technology component of the construction budget (CIP, South Carlsbad Library). Equipment purchased for the Safety Center and City Hall will be funded from the Information Systems capital outlay budget. Funds are available from both sources.
