Explanation

BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Technology to enter into the following contracts in connection with the project identified as the metronet core network replacement.

Resource One: Computer Systems Hardware/Professional Services| $467,848.00
GoldTech: Data Wiring Services| $2,560
Anixter: Misc. components| $11,020.00
Carlton-Bates: Misc. components| $2,572.00

The aforementioned firms were selected to provide various services and hardware for this project. The metronet replacement project will be divided into two phases: phase one consists of replacing the core network infrastructure; phase two consists of replacing network equipment at remote locations citywide. The core infrastructure consists of eight major city facilities, including the city's enterprise data center and City Hall. This project will include replacing the wiring and major network equipment that provide citywide data transport for applications such as Performance, e-mail, WASIMS, income tax, and Internet access, among others. The data center wiring upgrade will enable high-speed data transport, supporting citywide application access. The work performed in phase two will prevent lengthy outages that can affect entire floors within city facilities as well as complete network outages for smaller remote locations. Resource One will be supplying hardware and professional services via the Cisco UTC contract with the City of Columbus. GoldTech was selected using an informal bid process and will provide the wiring services. Anixter and Carlton-Bates will provide miscellaneous components.

This ordinance also authorizes the transfer and expenditure of $299,625.40 from within the Finance capital fund and $184,374.60 from within the Finance computer systems fund to pay for phase I of this project.

EMERGENCY: Emergency action is requested to ensure that this project is not delayed, thereby endangering various city systems.
