$6,200. The agreement is for 120 months.

The City?s current CCG PRI VoIP telephone system will be upgraded to a more

modern SIP IPFLEX VoIP telephone system. The upgrade is necessary because AT&T

is phasing out the PRI system in favor of the SIP systems. The SIP system

will allow phone service to be delivered via the internet instead of PRI lines



The SIP service will replace our current VoIP monthly service bill and will be

paid monthly.



Funds will be budgeted each fiscal year for this ongoing service: Various

Departments ? Telephone; 6621.



* * * * * * * * * *



(G) CONSULTING SERVICES FOR COMPUTER NETWORK CABLE TELEVISION (IPTV) SOLUTIONS



It is requested that Council approve professional consulting services from

Karen C Higgins (Columbus, GA), in the amount of $25,600.00, for computer

network cable television (IPTV) solutions.



Ms. Higgins will provide consulting and professional services to assist the

Columbus Consolidated Government with developing options, defining

specifications, providing pricing with options and managing the overall

procurement and implementation process for cable television solutions (IPTV),

which is television over the computer network.



Karen Higgins was selected by the Information Technology Department to provide

the consulting services because the City?s IT Director, Forrest Toelle, worked

with Ms. Higgins on the exact same project for the Muscogee County School

District when he was employed there as the Chief Information Officer. Ms.

Higgins was the SME (Subject Matter Expert) lead and Project Manager for the

project. The School District?s project deployed IPTV to all students,

teachers, and other district personnel. The project was a complete success, and

Director Toelle wants to repeat that same successful process at CCG. Ms.

Higgins retired as the Director of Technical Operations and Help Desk support,

and has worked on projects of this scope for over 20 plus years. Consequently,

the vendor is considered an only known source for this project, per the

Procurement Ordinance.



The work will be divided into the following phases:



Phase 1 - Consult/Design/Price: The outcome of this phase should answer the

question; How much will it cost to deliver a Cable TV solution to CCG offices

that makes the most sense?

Deliverable: Customized quote(s) to be reviewed by CCG CIO with pricing options

including differing number of TV channels to distribute, technical services

provided, application/GUI options, ongoing support, warranties and CCG

knowledge transfer and/or training from a 3rd party Cable TV Solution vendor(s).



If the City decides to move forward after Phase 1 there would be a Phase 2,

Phase 3, and Phase 4, which would include the following:



Phase 2 ? Integrate: A successful Cable TV installation project will require

careful planning and installation management in the production environment;



Phase 3 ? Deployment: The management of an enterprise-wide Cable TV Solutions

deployment can be daunting. Included in this proposal is the planning and

coordination of task necessary to ensure a smooth rollout to city workstations

within the Columbus Consolidated Government;



Phase 4 - Maintenance and Operation: Working with IT staff and the 3rd party

vendor(s) to provide know-how and knowledge transfer is essential to ensure the

success of a sustainable Cable TV Solution;



Funds are budgeted in the FY18 Budget for Phase 1, in the amount of $10,000, as

follows: General Fund ? Information Technology - Consulting; 0101- 210 ? 1000-

ISS ? 6315. Depending on the findings in Phase 1, funding will be available

from 6311 (Professional Services) and 6541 (Software Lease), as appropriate.

The total cost for consulting services Statement of Work shall not exceed the

$25,600. If the City accepts Phase 1 and proceeds with the deployment of IPTV

(Phase 2- Phase 4), additional equipment will be needed and purchased. These

procurements will be brought back to council as required.



* * * * * * * * * *



(H) PAYMENT FOR INMATE PHARMACY SERVICES

(Pittsburgh, PA), in the amount of $62,870.63, for pharmacy services utilized

for inmates at the Muscogee County Jail. $33,142.54 of the requested payment is
