Agenda Report # 8





TO: Mayor and Councilors



SUBJECT: Purchase Authorizations



INITIATED BY: Finance Department





(A) LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE SERVICES (ANNUAL CONTRACT) ? RFP NO. 06-0015



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of an annual contract for

long distance telephone services with BellSouth Business Systems, Inc. The

contracted vendor will provide long distance telephone service to Columbus

Consolidated Government with the most cost-effective and high quality

transmission. This service shall include all Intralata, Interlata and

Inter-lata/Intrastate calls to all domestic area codes in the United States.



The Columbus Consolidated Government telephone system consists of one centrex

system with approximately 1,500 centrex/centrex PRI stations in various

locations along with approximately 120 business lines in various locations and

seeks proposals for long distance service for all. Total minutes of use for

all lines average 30,000 per month. The long distance calling is distributed as

follows:



Intra-lata (Columbus Lata) 22.0%

Inter-lata/Intrastate 36.5%

Inter-lata (Lower 48 States) 39.5%

Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, International, Directory Assistance 2.0%



The initial term of the contract shall be for two years, with the option to

renew for three additional twelve-month periods. Contract renewal will be

contingent upon mutual agreement of the City and the Contractor.



Request for Proposals specifications were mailed and posted on the City?s

website; three proposals were received on June 7, 2006:

BellSouth Business Systems, Inc. (Albany, GA)

MCI Communications Services dba Verizon Business (Atlanta, GA)

*McLeodUSA Telecommunications Services, Inc. (Hiawatha, IA)





*McLeodUSA Telecommunications Services, Inc., failed to included

Acknowledgement of Receipt for Addendum No. 1, Statement of the Project

Understanding, References and Attachment A, which includes a series of

questions relative to the firm?s ability to provide the required services. The

vendor?s proposal was deemed incomplete at the RFP opening.



Proposals were reviewed by the Evaluation Committee members, which consisted of

representatives from Elections & Registration, Facilities Maintenance Division

and Columbus Fire and Emergency Medical Services. An Information Technology

representative served in an advisory capacity.



The City?s Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-110, Competitive Sealed Proposals

for the procurement of Equipment, Supplies and Professional Services, governs

the RFP Process. During the process of an RFP there is no formal opening, due

to the possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In the event

Council does not approve the recommended offeror, no proposal responses or any

negotiated components are made public until after the award of the contract.

If Council does not approve the recommended offeror, negotiations will begin

with the next responsive offeror. Evaluation results and cost information has

been submitted to the City Manager in a separate memo, for informational

purposes.



Funds will be budgeted each fiscal year for this on going expense, Various

Accounts ? Telephone 6628.

(B) SURPLUS FURNITURE USED BY HURRICANE KATRINA EVACUEES



It is requested that Council declare the furniture purchased for use by

evacuees of Hurricane Katrina, as surplus, in accordance with Section 7-501;

and approve the furniture to be given to the evacuees or turned over to

Enrichment Services, Inc.



The City of Columbus has been administering a grant from the Georgia Emergency

Management Association (GEMA) to assist in providing Interim Housing and

utilities for Hurricane Katrina evacuees. Since December 1, 2006, the City of

Columbus in collaboration with Enrichment Services, Inc. and the Urban League

of Greater Columbus has assisted 126 evacuee families with rent, utilities and

furniture. Currently, there are approximately 87 of these families still

residing in Columbus.



Following the grant provisions, the City of Columbus has completed it

obligations under the Section 403 grant program of providing interim shelter.

The City has terminated the leases and utilities of the evacuees and/or

landlords effective as of June 22, 2006. FEMA has informed the City that those

eligible evacuees have been transitioned to the Section 408 Shelter program.



As part of the grant provisions, furniture was purchased for those evacuees,

which were in need of furniture. Enrichment Services, Inc., obtained price

quotes as needed from various local vendors to purchase furniture for the

evacuees. The total amount of furniture purchased was $80,195.62, (please see

attached list).



The furniture included sofas, tables, lamps, beds, and washers and dryers.

Once the furniture was purchased, it became property of the City of Columbus.

The City would like to allow the families to retain the furniture. The

furniture would become the property of the families. If the families do not

wish to retain the furniture, they may return it to Enrichment Services, Inc.

Enrichment Services, Inc. would then use the furniture as part of their

programs of providing assistance in emergency situations. One family has

returned their furniture to Enrichment services.



In order for the furniture to be given to the families and/or be used by

Enrichment Service, Inc, the furniture will have to be declared surplus by the

City.

(C) SCANNER/COPIER/PRINTER (RE-BID) - RFB NO. 06-0081



It is requested that Council authorize the purchase of one (1)

scanner/copier/printer, from Archive Supplies (Dallas, TX), in the amount of

$24,775.00.



The copier/scanner/printer is an additional unit for the Engineering

Department. It will be used to scan and copy: older plans and plats no longer

legible; large format color documents; and thick documents up to .6 inches.

This unit will also be capable of handling faster and better quality color

(D) AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LOCATION (AVL) SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT

It is requested that Council authorize payment to Ortivus North America, in the

amount of $38,649.05, of the annual Software Maintenance Agreement for the

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) system software.



The City of Columbus operates an Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVL) over

its 800 MHz. Radio system that allows the 911 Center to know the exact location

of the Police, Sheriff, Fire/EMS and Marshall vehicles patrolling the City.

This equipment also allows the Public Safety Units, equipped with the AVL

system, to pull up a map of a call to assist them with directions to that

call. Additionally, this system aids in the mapping of the incoming 911 calls,

including cellular telephone calls, by providing a map location of these calls

in the 911 Center. The system is critical for the safety of Public Safety

units in that it provide a ?second chance? to find the exact location of a unit

in an emergency situation. This Maintenance Agreement will insure that the

City receives complete and cost effective technical support of this software,

as well as, any upgrades that are made to it during the course of the

agreement. This agreement will allow us to control the operating costs

associated with the AVL System.



This system is driven by software provided by AVeL-TECH Inc. This software is

running on the servers in the 911 Center, as well as, on the computers in each

of the Public Safety vehicles equipped with this system. Ortivus North America

bought out AVeL-TECH, the developer of the software. Therefore, the vendor is

considered an only known source for the software maintenance.



Funds are budgeted in the FY07 Budget: Police - E-911 Communications Center ?

Service Contracts; 0209-400-3220-E911-6513.

(E) EMERGENCY PURCHASE OF HOT WATER SYSTEM FOR THE MUSCOGEE COUNTY JAIL



It is requested that Council approve payment to Strickland IV Plumbing Company,

(Columbus, Georgia), in the amount of $86,154.34, for the emergency purchase

and installation of a new hot water system for the Muscogee County Jail.



The laundry at the Jail was washed in 90-degree water. The Justice Department

requires the water to be 160-degrees to reduce the potential spread of

pathogenic bacteria among the jail population. The Facilities Maintenance

Division approached three vendors to find the best correction action for the

situation; which resulted in the following options:



Option 1: Submitted by Wright Associates

Construct an addition onto the laundry room and install a boiler and two hot

water storage tanks. The estimated total cost for the construction and the

purchase/installation of the equipment was $152,250.00. Proposed by Wright

Associates.



Option 2: Submitted by System Services

Install a new boiler and tanks in the existing boiler room. Run and insulate

water pipes from boiler room to laundry room on other side of jail. The total

estimated cost for Option 2 was $102,250.00.



Option 3: Submitted by Strick IV Plumbing Co.

Install 15 tankless commercial outdoor gas water heaters. Total estimated cost

of labor and materials, $86,157.00.



Option 3 was recommended by Facilities Maintenance because this system is an

?on demand? system and works only when the washers require hot water. Since

the water is heated only when needed, Option 3 is the more economic and

efficient of the proposed corrective actions.



In order to meet the requirements of the Justice Department, on April 24, 2006

the City Manager approved the emergency purchase and installation of a new hot

water system, utilizing Option 3.



Funding is available in the FY06 Budget: General Fund Supported Capital

Projects ? Machinery ? Jail Renovations/Expansion;

(F) PURCHASE OF COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH SYSTEM (CADS) SOFTWARE



It is requested that Council approve the purchase of Computer Aided Dispatch

System (CADS) software from Motorola in the amount of $782,330.00. Payments

for the system will be made over an 18-month period.



The acquisition of this new Computer Aided Dispatch System (CADS) software

along with the accompanying upgrades to the client software in all of the

Mobile Data computers in the various Public Safety vehicles will provide the

following benefits:



1. It will replace the City?s current CADS program, which has been running on

the city's mainframe since 1991. The replacement of the old CADS software will

allow the Information Technology Department to move forward with their long

range goals of having all major IT functions modernized and server based;

thereby making it more efficient and economical to maintain going forward.



2. This new software will allow the 911 Center to more efficiently dispatch

calls for service by enabling the use of voiceless and automated dispatch. The

new system will take advantage of the existing in-vehicle computers and AVL

systems to track the exact location of each public safety vehicle and provide

dispatch recommendations to the 911 Personnel, based on proximity to the call,

rather than artificial boundary lines for beats and territories. It will also

send the dispatch information directly to the responding units without using

voice dispatch, as well as, allow the responding units to respond to the call

for service and record their activity without verbally informing the

Dispatcher. This is vastly more efficient than voice communications.



3. The acquisition and installation of this new software moves the City?s long

range plans for a fully integrated Public Safety Information Management System

another step forward. It leverages our existing investment in Radio, Mobile

Data and AVL technologies to provide increased efficiencies in the dispatch

activity, as well as, establishes the base line software databases upon which

we will build our future software acquisitions in the areas of paperless

reporting and integrated case management.



The Mobile Data Units and AVL are integrated into the City?s Radio System,

which was purchased from and is maintained by Motorola. Consequently, Motorola

is considered an only known source to provide this expansion to maintain

continuity of the systems.



Funds will be budgeted out of the E911 reserves, which can only be used for

E911 qualified expenditures. The appropriation of these reserves in the E911

Fund 0209 will be included on the next Budget Amendment.

(G) AMBULANCE SERVICE LICENSE RENEWAL



It is requested that Council authorize payment to Georgia Department of Human

Resources in the total amount of $17,900.00 for ambulance service fees. The

fee includes the cost for the base ambulance service license fee and individual

license fees for the City?s eleven (11) ambulances.



Funds are budgeted in FY07 Budget, Columbus Fire and Emergency Medical

Services, Fire/EMS, Operations, Taxes/Licenses; 0101-410-2100-FOPR ?9212
