AUTHORIZATION FOR PURCHASE OF
COMPUTER NETWORK EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 44@/%’ , authorizing the purchase of
computer network equipment.
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.
