R-16-033
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY TREASURER TO ISSUE BONDS
NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF TWO MILLION TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2,200,000) FOR THE PURCHASE AND
INSTALLATION OF A CITYWIDE TELECOM SYSTEM
As provided for in NRO 5-28, Bruce Codagnone, IT Division Director, gave a brief explanation on Resolution
R-16-033.
Mr. Codagnone
When we first started this initiative our immediate concern was around the police department and the
elementary schools. As time went on we found that there were multiple failures in the high schools and they
became our priority as well as the police department. During that time also, Burke Street came into play which
added some confusion on how we priced it out and how to do an RFP and who is going into Burke Street;
those are still open discussions. We crafted an RFP, we were concerned about Emergency Management
Notifications, 911 and specifically locating people within classrooms if there was an emergency. We also
wanted to have redundancy and leverage via the fiber optic network we have in place throughout the city. The
plan was to have three core systems; one in the police department, one in Nashua High School South and one
in City Hall that was large enough to carry the city should the other two fail. The technology being used of the
winning bidder is using Cisco technology which allows us to automatically detect when there is a failure in any
of the communication lines and automatically route it through another line so with this solution there will always
be communications and 911 will always work. When we did the RFP we had seven vendors apply to it and the
price was one of the components that we measured it on as well as their plan, approach and the strength and
value of the vendor. We have the details of that analysis to support our decision. We picked a company that is
headquartered out of New York called Custom Computer Specialists. They overwhelming won the bid as far
as meeting all of the criteria. | am going to have the vendor come in when we have the Finance Committee
meeting to discuss this solution also.
