MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Lori Johnson <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Robert Pearson, I.T. Coordinator <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />November 20, 2002 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Request for award of construction contracts <br /> <br />Lori, the purpose of this memo is to give you my recommendations on the awarding of <br />construction contracts in the following areas: <br /> 1. Supplying and installing copper cabling and cabling products in Public Safety, Public <br /> Uflities and City Hall buildings. <br /> 2. Supplying and installing fiber cabling and cabling products in Public Safety, Public <br /> Utilities and City Hall buildings. <br /> 3. Security system for Public Safety building. <br /> <br /> In regards to item number one, I have worked with Dell-Comm and Anixter on <br />identifying and designing a cabling plant that will meet our current and future needs. Since <br />we began reviewing cabling systems a new American National Standards Institute (ANSI) <br />standard has been published. It is called Category 6 Cabling. It has twice the bandwidth <br />(cables ability to carry data) of the older Category 5e standard. It is my recommendation that <br />we have installed and tested a Category 6 c&blmg system. <br /> <br /> Our main data center has been designed to be located in the new Public Safety building. <br />I am recommending the building of a high speed backbone between the Public Safety data <br />center and the City Hall wiring closet. A backbone allows users whose computers are <br />terminated in one location to have high speed access to network resources in a different <br />location. Distance limitations and lighmmg protection considerations make fiber optics <br />cabling the best choice for cabling between buildings. It has been planned that the fiber <br />between Public Safety and City Hall will be temporarily terminated in the Public Utilities <br />building during the demolition and construction to City Hall. <br /> <br /> For item number three, security we have worked with Pro-Tec Design Inc on the design <br />of a security system that includes: an access control system, an intrusion alarm system, a fire <br />alarm monitoring system, a video surveillance system, and a video recording system for the <br />interview areas. Both the surveillance and interview recording systems are eliminating VHS <br /> <br /> <br />
