Subject:
Purchase of Fiber Network Hardware
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the purchase of Fiber Network Hardware, from Sentinel Technologies, using the 1Government Procurement Alliance (1GPA) Contract No. #22-02PV-18, for Fiber Optic Facilities at Veterans Oasis Park and the Public Safety Training Center, in an amount not to exceed $240,013
Background/Discussion:
On November 9, 2023, City Council approved the construction of two fiber optic facilities at Veterans Oasis Park and the Public Safety Training Center. These projects will require the design and installation of new core switches, proper optics, equipment racks, and network configuration. The City's Fiber Master Plan recommended new hub switches to improve Chandler's network resiliency and reliability. Completion of the fiber huts will set in motion the conversion to redundant fiber connectivity throughout the city. Additionally, the distribution of fiber connectivity will begin migrating to the fiber huts, minimizing impact to the city in case of a failure.
This purchase from Sentinel Technologies includes network and ancillary equipment, installation, support, and licensing necessary to connect the two fiber huts to the Information Technology (IT) building data center and the City Hall data center. The new core switch implementations will serve as the foundation of a self-healing mesh design of fiber-networked data centers.
Evaluation:
The selection process followed City policy, procedure, and State law. The network hardware requirements have been thoroughly vetted by all qualified City staff, based on recommendations from qualified relevant technical experience, project understanding, and project due diligence to provide a cost-effective implementation while considering the scalability, reliability, and capacity expectations. The pricing proposals were determined to be reasonable and in compliance with 1GPA Contract RFP 22-02PV.
