Soon after the court ordered divestiture of AT&T, it became apparent that the
City could no longer acquire telephone service from a single supplier as had
been done in the past. Terms of the divestiture oxder allow the regulated
telephone company, Southwestern Bell, to supply only the central office and the
telephone lines. All telephone instruments and other equipment installed on
the customers' premises must be obtained from another non-regulated supplier.
Long distance service is also provided by a number of non-regulated suppliers
as well as AT&T Communications.
In 1983, the City decided to investigate alternative sources of total telephone
service. A consultant was retained to determine the most practical way to.
provide telephone service to the new Police Administration wilding. This
study showed that the City could save about a millipn dollars over a ten-year
period if it purchased a private system instead of using So~ufthwestern Bell
service. This study indicated that similar savings could be realized through
the purchase of a system that would provide service to all City facilities..
In November, 1984, the City released an RFP to study the total City telephone
and data communications requirements and recommend a suitable system.
