Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This legislation will authorize the Director of the Department of Finance to establish a purchase order from the universal term contract with Resource One for Cisco equipment for the fire connectivity project. This project will connect 32 fire stations to the city's network through the use of both leased lines and city owned fiber optic cabling. This connectivity will allow fire stations to consolidate its voice and data needs through one connection point thereby reducing the operating funds needed for this purpose. The consolidation will save the city approximately $80,000 per year in leased line costs and will provide fire stations a high-speed connection allowing communication between the fire stations and the Fire Administration Office.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding is available in the Department of Finance capital improvement fund.
EMERGENCY:
Emergency legislation is requested in order to facilitate immediate purchase and implementation of this hardware to connect fire stations to the city's network.
