need of replacement and updating; and
WHEREAS, the cost of each of these systems is expected to exceed $20,000; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Station systems are connected to Alameda County Networks and may
benefit from a separate procurement process; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.36.050(A)(6) of the Dublin Municipal Code allows for exceptions to
the typical public bidding process when the City is procuring items of a technical nature that
would be difficult for a vendor to bid on a standard set of specifications; and
WHEREAS, the municipal code requires that the Purchasing Agent undertake a thorough
review of products and compare features that would most closely meet the needs of the City;
and
WHEREAS, the City has engaged Communication Strategies, LLC, an independent
consulting firm, and they have prepared an assessment of the current City systems; and
WHEREAS, in order to use the exception to the competitive bid process, if the purchase
exceeds $20,000, the City Council must authorize the exception.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin hereby
authorize the exception provided for in Section 2.36.050(A)(6) of the Municipal Code to select
telephone systems through means other than a sealed competitive bid.

be presented to the City Council for their approval.
