HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07082014 - C.86RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee, to execute, on behalf of Chief Information Officer,
a purchase order with AT&T Datacomm in an amount not to exceed $1,010,000 for the acquisition of Cisco
equipment, in support of a hosted communication system for the Contra Costa County Superior Court, Department of
Conservation and Development, and Department of Information Technology.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$1,010,000; The project cost is billed in quarterly installments and charged out to user departments on a per site
deployment basis.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Information Technology's Telecommunication Division is in the process of moving to a Cloud
Hosted Internet Protocol Communication system, allowing for greater flexibility, disaster recovery, and enhanced use
of unified communications. This will provide for a more reliable office telephone service.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The current County telephone system is 100% installed locally within the county buildings, which does not allow for
recovery in case of a local building disaster incident. Callers would receive an error tone because the telephone
system will be offline during such incident. With a cloud hosted telephone service, we will be able to maintain in-
and out-bound calling during local and regional disasters.
