TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Pamela Arends -King, Director of Administrative Services /Treasurer
SUBJECT: Professional Service Agreement for Police Department
Upgraded Cat -6 Cable
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Staff requests Council approve the professional service agreement with Answer Communications, Inc.,
for upgraded CAT -6 Cabling for the computer network within the Police Department and authorize
City Manager to execute the agreement. Staff also requests Council approve Budget Amendment 6 -04
transferring funds for the cabling from Fiscal Year 04/06 to Fiscal Year 05/06.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department has been experiencing connection problems to the City's network. The
building was constructed in the 1960's, therefore the cabling is not adequate to handle the computer
needs of the Department. When the network was first set up about six years ago, the consultants at the
time also used a wireless system in parts of the building due the inadequate cabling. Due to frequency
interference the wireless system has failed and now staff is keeping connectivity to the network
through "make- shift" cabling efforts (i.e. cables running under doors, along floorboards).
Staff received three professional service bids for parts and labor to install the CAT -6 cable and CAT -6
jacks. After reviewing the bids, Answer Communications, Inc., was chosen not only because their bid
was the lowest, but the firm also for their qualifications.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost for parts and labor for the cabling job is $26,000. There is no fiscal impact to the
General Fund, because funds budgeted in Fiscal Year 2004/05 for computer network needs were not
expended, therefore, the funds are being transferred to Fiscal Year 2005/06. Budget Amendment 6 -04
transfers the funds from Fiscal Year 2004/05 to Fiscal Year 2005/06.

RECOMMENDATION:
Council approve the professional service agreement with Answer Communications, Inc., for upgraded
CAT -6 Cabling for the computer network within the Police Department and authorize City Manager to
execute the agreement and approve. Council approve Budget Amendment 6 -04 transferring funds for
the cabling from Fiscal Year 04/06 to Fiscal Year 05/06.
