City ofiSunn�y Isle0each <br />o 3 E) <br />O <br />To: City Commission <br />From: City Manager <br />Date: January 14, 1998 <br />Subject: AWARD OF BID - 97 -12 -01 TELEPHONE SYSTEM AND CABLING <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City Commission award, by motion, a bid to Telesystems of South Florida, <br />151 N.E. 166" Street, North Miami, in the amount of $14,000, for an installed telephone system, <br />including cabling. <br />REASONS <br />The City is in need of a telephone system. Sunny Isles has legally advertised for bids and mailed an <br />announcement to nine (9) potential bidders. Two proposals were received. Telesystems was the low <br />bid. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />The telephone system the City specified, included providing all necessary cabling within City Hall. <br />Apparently, a number of bidders did not wish to be responsible for both the cabling and telephone <br />equipment. <br />Both bidders (the other being Southern Bell) are known to have excellent equipment and services. <br />Therefore, the low bid was recommended. <br />Modifications to the Telesystems bid price of $14,342 ($10,842 for equipment, including a 5 year <br />maintenance contract and $3,500 for voice mail) were negotiated. The computer cabling requirement <br />was dropped as this item is being provided by another vendor. We have added four ceiling speakers <br />and the capacity to increase services from the 8 (eight) lines specified to twelve (12) lines. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />James DiPietro <br />City Manager <br />JD:pw /1 <br />- -- o 0 0 0 <br />
