Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Public Safety, to establish a purchase order in the amount of $452,592.50, for the installation of fiber optics cabling to various Public Safety facilities. This purchase order will be created utilizing the terms and conditions from an existing Universal Term Contract (UTC), established through the competitive bid process by the Purchasing Office, with Echo 24 (FL004688, BPCMP33G- Expiration Date: 3/31/13).

The Department of Public Safety has a need to provide voice, data and video connectivity to various Public Safety facilities in the Linden area and the proposed Police Property Room at 724 Woodrow. The fiber optic connectivity will enhance computer and phone communications between the Public Safety facilities and enhance the city-wide connectivity plan. Installation of the fiber optic cabling will permit connectivity for Police Substations 5 and 13, and the proposed Police Property Room at 724 Woodrow Avenue. This legislation allocates $339,062.00 to the Police Property Room project and $113,530.50 as remaining funds needed for the Linden area substation.

EMERGENCY: Emergency designation is requested in order to begin installation as soon as possible to provide fast and efficient communications to the locations needed.

FISCAL IMPACT: The total expenditure for these projects amount to $799,645.91. However, ordinance 0366-2011, passed earlier in the year allocated $347,053.41 to the projects. This ordinance is for the remaining $452,592.50, utilizing an existing Universal Term Contract (UTC) with Echo 24. Funding is available within the Department of Public Safety's Capital Improvement Bond Funds.
