WIRING OF CITY HALL AND PUBLIC HEALTH BUILDING

appropriations in the Capital Projects Reserve Fund by 5242,356 00 from increased
revenues, and
2 Approve the transfer of 5242,356 00 from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to the

4 Approve the expenditure of 5242,356 00 for purchase and installation of structured wiring

DISCUSSION
This appropriation is comprised of the following elements
Completion of City Hall Structured Wiring 5201,483 00
Structured Wiring at 1800 University Drive 18,841 00
Ten percent contingency 22,032.00
Total 5242,356 00
As part of the 1995-96 budget plan, the City Manager proposed the use of 5210,000 00 from
the Capital Projects Reserve Fund to purchase and install structured wiring in City Hall
Structured wiring is the basic infrastructure, including cables, data cabinets, and other equipment
with a useful life of greater than 10 years that is required to network all the computers in a
particular facility
On September 26, 1995 (M&C G-11235), Council appropriated 548,555 00 for the first phase
of structured wiring in City Hall, which was to connect Water, Engineering, and Transportation
and Public Works Departments to automate some work processes and share a common project
management application Overall, the estimate for structured wiring of City Hall has increased
from the original 5210,000 00 to 5250,038 00, including the 548,555 00 previously
appropriated, which requires the additional 5201,483 00 to complete the project Two factors
account for this increase One is that City Hall's current electrical system would not allow for
the proper grounding of the data cables that were being installed, which required a ground wire
to be installed from each data cabinet and connected to the building ground This will have to
be done for all City Hall data cabinets The other factor is that bid prices came in higher than
the original estimate Purchase agreements that allow for accurate estimates to be made are
now in plan with vendors of this equipment

includes 518,841 00 to fund structured wiring at the Public Health building at 1800 University
and all six City health clinics
A ten percent contingency has been added to the appropriation to cover unexpected costs of any
additional problems that are discovered as these facilities are wired
