SPECIFIC REQUESTS OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Services Manager, or designee, to execute a purchase
order in the amount of $41,000 with Advanced Voice and Data, for data and telephone cabling
services for the District Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Monies are available in this year's budget to fund the purchase and installation of a local area
network (LAN), for which other equipment has already been ordered. This portion, $41,000, is for the
cabling services needed to connect the equipment for the LAN.
BACKGROUND:
The District Attorney is installing a Local Area Network (LAN) for its Martinez offices, and the office at
725 Court Street needs to have telephone and data cabling completed before the new equipment can
be installed and linked. This project was started earlier this year, with a consultant having been hired
to do the equipment needs analysis and system design. The necessary computer equipment has
been ordered, and when the LAN is complete, approximately 60 staff will have access to electronic
mail, internet access for legal resources, a shared file system, and other systems which will make the
office more modern and efficient. This request is to purchase service to upgrade existing and install
new phone and data cable, in order to complete the networking for the LAN.
This vendor was selected after a formal bid process. This decision is based upon all of the relevant
criteria set forth in the County's Request for Proposal #1439.
