DISCUSSION:
The City's contract with SBC #or Eocal telephone s�ruices expired June 23, 20D2. The Ir�formaiion
Technolvgy Solutions Department did not acquire a new contract ai that time, however, SBC agreed ta
extend ihe confract rates on a manth-by-month basis until a new con#ract was in place.
In December 2002, a Request for Proposal (RFPy was advertis�d for local telephone service. The
proposal speci�ed that loca� telephone service included ser►r�ce to all City of Fort Worth locations,
regardless af geographical locatian ar telephone company boundari�s. Additionally, the request
r�quired solu#ions that preserved ar impro�e� t�e existing level ot ser►iice.
The RFPs wer� evaluated by staff using the follawing faur major crfteria: Base Proposal, Vendar
Financial �ata, Customer�Service, a�d Pricing. After at�alysis of the two responses, SBC's proposal
was selected.
Based on the proposal sUbmitted by SBC, the City's rates wauld r�at change from tf�e current rate. At
the time the bid was su�mitied, the City had 3,763 Plexar lines in service. The monthly line charge for
Plexar 5ervice is $8.73 per line. Included in the annual charges are �he Plexar trunk cF�arges, which
are estimated to the $19,975.aQ per month. Additianally, each line is charged an estimated $5.80 for
regulafory fees mandated by the Public Utility Commission. We expect fhat the totaf number of Plexar
[ir�es wili diminish due to the City's p�an to con�ert aur lines to a new PBX system. SBC d�es not
require a minimum number of Plexar lines to be use in order for the City to maintain the rate of $8.73.
Therefore, we expect the annual cost of Plexar to be reduced over fime as we implement more PBX
lines #hroughout the City.
