value of $15,025.00. The tennis court surfacing supplies includes Magnesium

basis?. The Parks and Recreation Department will use the supplies to resurface

renew for two (2) additional twelve-month periods, if agreeable to both parties.
A Resolution (111-07) ? Authorizing payment to BellSouth for the annual

the IP Telephony network in five locations: the Government Center, Annex,
Public Safety Complex, Fox Recreation Center and the Trade Center. The annual
cost of network and equipment coverage, known as BellSouth DataCare, is
$101,222.14 to be paid in twelve monthly payments of $8,435.18.
The BellSouth DataCare IP Telephony Manager is a continuance of the existing
Cisco/BellSouth hardware and software maintenance purchased with the new Cisco
AVVID IP Phone System through BellSouth. The maintenance is renewable each
year on or before the anniversary date of March 31st. Only BellSouth has a
complete end-to-end solution for all voice and data issues from both an

BellSouth.

A Resolution (113-07) ? Authorizing the purchase of three (3) 4-wheel
drive, mid-size sport utility vehicles from Freeway Ford (Columbus, GA), in the
amount of $62,112.00. The vehicles are replacement units and will be used by
the Inspections and Codes Department to inspect construction sites throughout
the City.
A Resolution (114-07) ? Authorizing the purchase of IBM Commonstore Lotus
Domino Archiving Software from IBM Corporation in the amount of $145,831.00.
The purchase includes the following items:
1 IBM DB2 CommonStore Lotus Domino Archiving Software
1 IBM DB2 Content Manager Software
1 IBM eMail Search CommonStore Lotus Domino Software
1 IBM/Oceansuite Installation Services
It is estimated that 180,000 e-mails a day flow through the CCG e-mail system.
In order to hold down storage costs, it has been necessary to limit the number
of e-mails that a user is allowed to hold in their e-mail file. Users insist
they need to save and hold these e-mails for all types of business issues that
arise everyday, which may require the retrieval of the e-mails sometime in the
future. The limitations, placed on the storage of e-mails, are frustrating
users and creating an environment of constant maintenance by I.T. technicians.
The e-mails themselves are relatively small files, but have attachments with
them, such as but not limited to: pictures, Word documents, spreadsheets,
Power Point presentations, etc. Emails with these attachments require large
amounts of storage space on disk drives located in the computer center.
Managing e-mails with these types of documents attached has become a burden on
e-mail servers, storage devices, I.T. personnel and CCG employees. It is a
problem that is growing daily with no end in sight. This new software will
allow IT to archive the email files to an alternate location, which will result
in a more manageable and efficient email system. The software will also have
search capabilities for security and litigation issues.
The IBM/Oceansuite is an only known source available only through IBM. The
CommonStore Archiving Software is the only product specially designed by IBM to
run with IBM Lotus Domino Software, which is already in place as the CCG email
system. Therefore, IBM is deemed an only known source for this purchase per
the Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-114.
A Resolution (115-07) ? Authorizing the purchase of IBM 2105 1.68 TB Disk
Storage/Configuration Services from IBM/Cornerstone, in the amount of
$96,105.00. Additional disk storage upgrade to the current IBM 2105 'Shark'
is needed to provide the appropriate space necessary for the e-mail archiving
system. The 2105 Disk Storage Device currently in operation in the CCG
Computer Center is IBM equipment. Therefore, IBM is deemed an only known
source for this purchase, per the Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-114.
A Resolution (116-07) ? Authorizing the purchase of Macro Level
Interpreter (MLI) Software from MacKinney Systems, Inc., in the amount of
$25,800.00. This software is necessary to operate one of CCG's main programming
languages Visual Age Generator under the new zVSE operating system on the new
IBM z890 mainframe. Without this software 80% of CCG's programming applications
will cease to operate, including the 911 CAD System. MacKinney Systems is the
only known source that has developed MLI software that supports the Visual Age
Generator/Cross System Product running the majority of our on-line
applications. Therefore, IBM is deemed an only known source for this
purchase, per the Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-114.
A Resolution (117-07) ? Authorizing the purchase of IBM Blade
Servers/email Archiving System from IBM/CPAK in the amount of $24,000.00. The
purchase will be made via Georgia Statewide Contract, SWC #A63311. The system
includes: one (1) IBM Blade Center Chassis and three (3) three IBM BladeCenter
HS21. This equipment is required to run IBM CommonStore software programs.
