B. Furnishing of approved materials and equipment

C. Installation of approved Lifeline System

D. Project management and administration

E. Quality Control documented to the Owner

(X) CONTRACT EXTENSION FOR LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE SERVICES (ANNUAL CONTRACT) ?

RFP NO. 12-0001



It is requested that Council authorize the extension of the Long Distance

Telephone Services contract with AT&T (Atlanta, GA) for an additional six-month

period.



Per Resolution No. 50-12, dated February 28, 2012, Council authorized a

five-year contract with AT&T. The contract was due to expire on February 27,

2017; however, in accordance with Article 3-109 (Annual Contracts: Price

Agreement and Service Contracts) of the Procurement Ordinance and at the

request of the Information Technology Department, the contract was extended for

one year, through February 27, 2018; Council approval is required for

extensions beyond the one year period.



Per Resolution No. 283-17, dated August 8, 2017, Council authorized an

agreement with AT&T to upgrade the City?s current CCG PRI VoIP telephone system

to a more modern SIP IPFLEX VoIP telephone system. The SIP system will allow

phone services to be delivered via the internet instead of PRI lines. However,

it will take approximately six (6) months until the system is fully

implemented. Therefore, the contract extension is required to prevent the long

distance services from going to a higher month-to-month rate before the SIP

trunking is completed.



Funds are budgeted each fiscal year for this ongoing expense: General Fund ?

Information Technology ? Long Distance; 0101-210-1000-ISS-6628.

government agencies, school districts (K-12), higher education institutes, and

Contract # GS-07F-0249T.



The vest provides life-saving protection against armor piercing projectiles,

multiple mild steel-core projectiles and standard ball rounds. It is a

certified Level III vest and defeats multiple rounds of steel-core rifle

rounds. The vest is used by the Sheriff?s Special Response Team during high

risk situations, such as an active shooter.



The Sheriff?s Office purchased the replacement ballistic vests due to the

expiration, condition and liability of the old tactical ballistic vest system

and the safety of the Special Response Team.



Funds are budgeted in the FY18 Budget: LOST/Public Safety ? Sheriff ? Public

Safety/LOST ? Capital Expenditure Over $5,000; 0102 ? 550 ? 9900 ? LOST ? 7761.

(CC) FIRE SUPPPRESSION SYSTEM FOR NEW TUB GRINDER



It is requested that Council approve the payment to FQS/Bear Equipment Co.,

(Charlotte, NC) in the amount of $10,995.00 for the purchase of a fire

suppression system for the new tub grinder utilized by Public Works.

The Vermeer Tub Grinder, V#11578, was approved last year and purchased for

Granite Bluff. However, the unit was purchased without a fire suppression

system. It is recommended, due to the cost of the tub grinder, $643,397, and

to ensure the safety of the operator, that a fire suppression system of this

nature be placed on the equipment. This fire suppression system will

extinguish any fire that sparks within its boundaries.



Vermeer, the manufacturer of the tub grinder, recommended FQS/Bear Equipment Co

to the former Fleet Manager, since the vendor has provided fire suppression

systems for Vermeer equipment in the past.

Funds are budgeted in FY18 Budget: Integrated Waste Management Fund ? Public

Works ? Granite Bluff Inert Landfill ? Auto Parts and Supplies; 0207 ? 260 ?

3540 ? BLUF ? 6721.

The motorcycle, purchased with LOST funds, was involved and totaled in a

vehicle accident in 2015. The MCSD was at fault and has settled with the City

on the value of this motorcycle at $13,000.

Once declared surplus, the motorcycle will be disposed of by auction, conducted

by the City?s contracted Auctioneer, Evans Auctioneers, Inc. Additionally, if

deemed more feasible the item may be sold online through GovDeals, whichever

method is most appropriate for the asset.



Revenue from the sale of the asset will be deposited in the General Fund - Sale

Emergency Purchase ? Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs):



On February 7, 2018, the Human Resources - Risk Management Division, notified

the City Manager that all the current AEDs installed around the City had to be

pulled due to their possibly dangerous condition as a matter of public health

and safety and to mitigate any potential liability.



The 119 current units were old, outdated and well pass their warranty periods.

Additionally, there has been no monitoring system in place to make sure the

AEDs were functioning properly. The AEDs were housed throughout the City in

the following locations:



Government Center ? 14 units

City Service Center ? 1 unit

Trade Center ? 1 unit

Metra ? 1 unit

Civic Center ? 2 units

Annex ? 1 unit

Police Department ? 80 units (78 in vehicles)

Public Works ? 7 units

Parks and Recreation ? 9 units

Bull Creek Golf Course ? 1 unit

Oxbow Meadows Golf Course ? 1 unit

MCP ? 1 unit

Zoll AED Plus

$180.402.81

The Instrument House

$1,609.00

Zoll AED Plus

$191,471.00



AED Brands: This is the company from which Risk Management has purchased

replacement AEDs, one-at-a-time. They have provided a quote for one of the

best AEDs on the market, a model that is by far the best one for civilians to

use in an emergency situation. This model also has the longest warranty (seven

years), and it comes with a tracking and monitoring system, plus training by

the manufacturer?s representative. A monitoring system means that Risk

Management will be alerted in the case of a problem with any of the units. In

spite of the quality of the product, the AED quote is the lowest: $162,450 for

119 AEDs.



Grainger: Grainger has a contract with the City for the provision various

equipment. Their quote is for the same brand, but there is no monitoring

system. The total cost would be $180,402.81.



The Instrument House: This firm is on the State Contract. They can provide

the same brand of AED, but without the monitoring system or training. The

total cost would be $191,471.



The City Manager approved the emergency purchase on February 8, 2018.





Funding is available in the FY18 Budget: Risk Management Fund ? Human Resources

? Unfunded Claims ? Medical Supplies; 0860 ? 220 ? 3830 ? 6795.
