AUTHORIZING THE RELEASE OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) TO
SOLICIT BIDS FOR A WIRELESS POINT -TO -POINT ETHERNET
BRIDGEMIRELESS BACKHAUL NETWORK CONNECTION TO REPLACE
EXISTING T -1 CONNECTIONS AT THE PUBLIC WORKS YARD
WHEREAS, the data link to the Public Works Yard is currently provided by AT &T

telephone services and the current service through AT &T provides a total throughput of
3 mega -bits per second; and
WHEREAS, the entire Public Works Department moved to the Public Works yard
and needs increased bandwidth to relieve data bottlenecks and allow for the efficient
transfer of larger data files; and
WHEREAS, in January 2011, staff released a RFP for a point -to -point wireless
Ethernet bridge but did not follow through with the project due to a limitation of funds;
and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this RFP is to increase the bandwidth for data traffic
to the Yard from 3Mbps to at least 100Mbps using microwave technology or similar to
connect City Hall to the Public Works Yard and replace the existing data connections
through AT &T; and
WHEREAS, the use of electronic data and the need for faster data connections
and service is continually growing; and
WHEREAS, the current T -1 data connections through the telephone company
are slow and create a bottleneck that cannot handle the business needs of the City; and

with a 5 -year warranty will range from $36,000 to $70,000 and the Public Works
department has budgeted $100,000 for a wireless backhaul solution for the FY 2014 -15
budget.
