City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: April 18, 2016 <br />Staff Report <br />Agenda Section:File Number:16-127 CONSENT CALENDAR <br />Agenda Number:8.H. <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Chris Zapata <br />City Manager <br />BY:Lianne Marshall <br />Assistant City Manager <br />FINANCE REVIEW:David Baum <br />Finance Director <br />TITLE:Staff Report for a Resolution Approving the Agreement with Strategic <br />Products and Services, LLC for Network Upgrades <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to <br />execute an agreement with Strategic Products and Services, LLC (formerly ExtraTeam) to <br />install and configure upgraded network infrastructure. The contract is in the amount of <br />$144,646.95. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City of San Leandro’s Internet network infrastructure needs replacement. This project <br />would install new hardware that would allow the City to increase its Internet bandwidth to 10 <br />gigabits per second (10 Gbps). <br />Analysis <br />Cloud computing applications have increased the City’s Internet bandwidth requirements and <br />future applications are expected to continue increasing these demands. While the City has <br />built out a state-of-the-art fiber optics network, its internal Internet hardware has not kept <br />pace. <br />The proposed project represents a complete upgrade of the City’s Internet network <br />architecture in order to maximize the City’s significant investments in fiber optics technology. <br />The new design will increase bandwidth capacity to 10 gigabits per second while lowering the <br />cost of Internet service by aggregating traffic onto one connection. The new design would be <br />fully redundant, with primary and secondary Internet connections, capable of withstanding <br />multiple types of failures. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/11/2016
