COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/15/2015
REFERENCE LOG 04AFFILIATED TELEPHONE
DATE: 12/15/2015 NO : **C-27553 NAME: MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT -
AVAYA EQUIPMENT
CODE: C TYPE CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Maintenance Agreement for Voice and Data Preventative
Maintenance and Support Services with Affiliated Telephone, Inc., for a Combined
Annual Amount of $307,217.00, Using Department of Information Resources Contracts
with Avaya Inc , and Juniper Networks, Inc., for the Information Technology Solutions
Department (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Maintenance Agreement for
voice and data preventative maintenance and support services with Affiliated Telephone, Inc., for a
combined annual amount of $307,217.00, using Department of Information Resources Contract
N o. DIR-TSO-2654 with Avaya, Inc. and Department of Information Resources Contract No. DIR-
TSO-2641 with Juniper Networks, Inc., for the Information Technology Solutions
Department. Affiliated Telephone Inc. is an authorized reseller of Avaya, Inc., and Juniper
N etworks, Inc., products and services.
DISCUSSION:
The City's existing telephone system is a Nortel Private Branch Exchange (PBX) Communications
S ystem purchased in 1997. Nortel was purchased by Avaya, Inc., and the current Nortel PBX will
no longer be continued. This PBX System is currently in operation at most City facilities and
provides public access to our citizens. However, all components of the current network and
telephone systems are at the end -of -life and the City has experienced great difficulty obtaining
refurbished replacement parts and equipment for the systems. Failure to maintain the PBX
S ystem could have a range of negative impacts, including endangerment to public safety due to
disruption in service between the City and the public.
On June 16, 2015, the City Council approved Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) C-27346
authorizing a Professional Services Agreement with Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC, for
equipment and professional services for the purpose of beginning the replacement of the City's
network and telephone systems.
This M&C requests authorization for continual monitoring services, routine voice and data
maintenance, and system support provided by Affiliated Telephone, Inc., for the current Avaya
telephone software and equipment and Juniper Networks, Inc., for network communication
equipment during the transition of the City's network and telephone system to a Presidio
N etworked Solutions system. The full build -out and migration is expected to take 18 months to
complete.
The Department of Information Resources (DIR) is authorized to offer the Cooperative Purchasing
