RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROAPPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute a purchase order, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, with Teltronics in an amount not to exceed $500,000 for the procurement of telecommunications equipment, replacement parts and related support for the period January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$500,000. Purchases made against this purchase order by the Department of Information Technology will be reimbursed by the department or agency receiving the product.

BACKGROUND:

In 2001, the Harris Teltronics phone system was one of the telephone systems chosen by Contra Costa County for standardization, to create a single, countywide communications network.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No 611.0, County Departments are required to get Board approval for single item purchases over $100,000. The County Administrator’s Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

The Information Technology department will not be able to acquire necessary telecommunications equipment to address needs that may arise during the day-to-day operation of the countywide telecommunications network.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
