Agenda Item Text:
Approve Logicalis proposal for the purchase of additional Microwave/Network equipment (Switching and Metro Ethernet) needed for completion of the MPLS Network requirement on the Motorola 700 MHz System in the amount of $150,352.55.
Background:
The Board of Supervisors had previously approved financing $3,000,000 to fund the Microwave Project which included a change order for the 700 MHz System to design and install a Microwave Backhaul in the amount of $2,461,841, effective June 23, 2015, and additional funding for a new shelter, network engineering, and additional structure/hardware to replace an aging infrastructure that the County is dependent upon. In the Board Meeting on June 23, 2015 Mr. Mock indicated engineering cost would be an estimated $100,00, and structure/hardware would be estimated $150,000. Fund line for expenses will be from funding 400-1800-1860-455.000.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the Microwave system as designed will not be able to meet its intended robust design, which would result in countywide outages, impacting public safety, and in addition will not meet the 700 MHz Motorola Contract requirements.
