AB# l5,32a TITLE: APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH DEPT HD.
MT& ?-so-q? AMERITECH, INC. FOR NETWORK INTEGRATION SERVICES DEPT. INFOSYS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that Council adopt Resolution No. 99-26s approving the agreement with
Ameritech Inc. for network integration services.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Periodically, the City’s Information Systems staff requires outside assistance with implementation
of networking technology. This assistance is best described as network integration services.
Information Systems determines on a project by project basis if outside integration services are
needed. If a project warrants such services, Information Systems will partner with a qualified
outside integrator.
For high-end, complex products and/or complex implementations, like the new Library and the
Faraday building networks, specific expertise is necessary to ensure that the network equipment
is properly integrated within the City’s environment. Ameritech has demonstrated in past
competitively awarded projects, that they have the know-how and experience to truly integrate high-end networking products into our network. They have a direct relationship and come highly
recommended by the manufacturer of the City standard network infrastructure gear, the 3Com
Corporation. Based on their product knowledge, integration skills and past experience with the
City’s Information Systems Department, the Purchasing Officer waives the requirement for
multiple proposals.
For each project that engages the services of Ameritech, they will submit a quotation and a
Statement of Work (SOW). The SOW documents Ameritech’s responsibilities along with the tasks
to be performed during the network integration process. Once the price and SOW are agreed
upon, Information Systems will issue an order for work to begin.
Ameritech’s services will assist Information Systems staff in maximizing ongoing efficiencies of the
Citywide network. Effective integration of network equipment also helps guard against events that could negatively impact the City’s operations via missed deadlines or reductions in customer
service levels.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total fees payable to Ameritech for the services performed shall not exceed $80,000 during
an agreement year. Funds necessary to cover these expenses are appropriated in the technology
component of both the new Library and Faraday building projects, as well as Information System’s
19992000 operating budget.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 79 *dd% approving contractual technology integration services for the City’s wide area network.
2. Agreement with Ameritech, Inc. for the necessary wide area network integration services as needed by the City.

Exhibit “A” Price Model and Methodology
(Confidential)
Ameritech’s Network Integration Services Overview &
Methodology
Ameritech’s offering of installation and implementation is best described as
network integration, and our goal is to provide the best multi-vendor network
integration service in the industry. Ameritech’s network integration service
provides a much higher level of support than the traditional installation service
that other companies provide. Ameritech ensures that the equipment not only
functions properly but that it becomes truly integrated and operational within the
customer’s network environment. This level of support enables customers to
immediately begin to maximize ongoing efficiencies of their network. In addition,
Ameritech’s extensive experience with networking products from numerous
suppliers provides customers with a single point-of-contact for multi-vendor
network integration needs.
Ameritech’s Network Integration Service
Ameritech provides a network integration service rather than simple installation.
Ameritech network engineers are certified in the industry’s leading networking
products and are well-versed in a multitude of LAN and WAN protocols. A key
emphasis of Ameritech’s training program is keeping our network engineers up-
to-date on new and changing technologies, which is accomplished through an
ongoing hands-on training program. Ameritech’s dedication to training and
network knowledge gives Ameritech a strong edge in delivering system
integration solutions for even the most technically advanced and complex multi-
vendor enterprise networks.
With every network integration project that Ameritech quotes, a Statement of
Work (SOW) is generated. The SOW documents Ameritech’s responsibilities
along with the tasks to be performed during the network integration process.
The SOW is a very useful tool in helping customers to differentiate Ameritech’s
high-level of network integration from the simple installation services that other
companies provide.
After Ameritech receives an order for network integration services and
determines that a technical discussion with the customer about their network
environment is appropriate, an Systems Engineer or an individual within
Ameritech’s technical service organization will conduct a “pre-network integration
technical assessment.” During this assessment, our engineers review with the
customer network schematics, cable structure, configurations, network
management, power, facility requirements, performance and any other elements
h
within the customer’s networking environment that may impact network
integration. The information gathered during the technical assessment is
documented and constitutes a pre-installation guide. The information contained
in the pre-installation guide enables the assigned network engineer to prepare
for the network integration, ensuring the customer will receive optimal LAN/WAN
service solutions designed around their unique networking environment.
A technical coordinator reviews each customer’s order against their pre-
installation guide, verifying interdependency issues have been appropriately
addressed. This quality assurance check ensures that all network and cabling
components for successful network integration will be present when the network
engineer arrives at the customer’s site.
Once the Ameritech network engineer arrives for the network integration, he or
she will inventory the equipment, making sure it is at the most current compatible
revision level. If there are components that need to be installed within the
hardware, Ameritech will install these components at no additional charge. In
addition, our engineers will configure necessary parameters which include
addressing information, subnet mask, protocols and SNMP configuration. These
steps ensure that the equipment functions at its peak performance within the
customer’s environment while maximizing ongoing networking efficiencies.
After the equipment has been configured, connected, and is functioning properly,
it must pass a series of tests to ensure successful network integration. If any
network integration problems should arise, our engineers have immediate
access to a wealth of network diagnostic tools. Every Ameritech network
engineer is equipped with a diagnostic tool kit containing network sniffers and
other sophisticated network items. Our engineers also use network diagnostic
tools to assist in remote access trouble-shooting/analysis for testing carrier
circuit turn-up and FDDI problem resolution. These tools are a distinct
competitive advantage because they enable our engineers to perform very
detailed on-site network diagnoses and resolve network problems quickly.
In addition, Ameritech’s network engineers can draw upon a wealth of backup
technical expertise from Ameritech’s pool of network engineers, Customer
Support Center (CSC) engineers, system engineers, and when needed, supplier
support organizations. Ameritech’s multi-vendor interoperability lab, capable of
simulating networks, can also assist in detecting, isolating and correcting
network problems. Ameritech’s backup facilities and staff of technically skilled
engineers are readily available to assist our on-site engineers if the need arises.
After the equipment has successfully passed all network integration tests, the
customer will be asked to sign a form, confirming the completion of the network
integration service. Ameritech’s consistency in delivering network integration
services ensures a high-quality, professional service that truly integrates
equipment into the customer’s network environment.
The value of Ameritech’s Network Integration Services
Ameritech can provide network integration services for any equipment we sell.
Typically, customers receive the highest value from Ameritech’s network
integration service when it is purchased in conjunction with complex high-end
products (such as routers), new technologies (such as ATM switches),
networking projects with a high degree of complexity or products with which the
customer’s internal support organization has limited experience.
High-end, complex products and/or complex implementations usually play a key
role in significantly impacting network operations. Therefore, it is of the utmost
importance that this type of equipment is properly implemented into the
customer’s networking environment. Otherwise, it may cause network
inefficiencies, degradation or failure, which in turn could financially impact the
customer’s business in such key areas as lost sales opportunities, missed
deadlines or a reduction in their customer service levels. Ameritech’s skilled
technicians are not only highly trained to integrate network equipment, they are
also well-versed in a wide array of internetworking LAN/WAN products and
protocols, which enables the delivery of total network integration solutions.
Ameritech engineers have extensive tools and backup support that enable them
to resolve complex multi-vendor customer network infrastructure issues
efficiently and promptly, unlike other companies that would halt installation until
the proper equipment was delivered to isolate network problems that were
encountered.
Keeping an internal staff trained on new and rapidly changing technologies
requires a tremendous investment of time and money. Often companies will find
that it is more cost-effective to leverage the network expertise, talent and
resources of Ameritech. Ameritech’s intensive experience in networking
products from numerous suppliers provides customers with a single point of
contact for their networking needs.
Schedule of Fees
Our integration services are priced by the scope of the project. Since each
project will have different levels of complexity and dependencies, our
engineering staff will perform the methodology outlined above. Ameritech
engineers will meet with key City of Carlsbad personnel to fully understand the
scope of the project, the tasks, duration and dependencies and will create a
scope of work document specific to the execution of the project. This process
will include clearly defined and mutually agreed upon acceptance criteria. We
will factor in any efficiencies that might be gained by working jointly with City of
Carlsbad personnel, installation of pre-configured and tested equipment,
weekly/monthly discounts and time of day uplifts that may be required. We will
deliver the most efficient cost model for the City of Carlsbad for every project.
Our pricing model for different levels of engineers and types of services that may
be engaged to implement projects and assist City staff are listed below. As a
valued Ameritech customer, City of Carlsbad receives preferred customer rates.
