telephone system.
Report Prepared By: Steve Pappa, Information Systems
Manager
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Letter from City of Antioch dated April 9, 2003
2. Resolution Accepting Offer from City of Antioch
RECOMMEND~ATIO Adopt the resolution accepting the City of Antioch offer to
~ purchase the surplus Civic Center and Shannon Center
telephone system.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Pursuant to the Dublin Municipal Code, proceeds from the sale
of property will accrue in the General Fund.
DESCRIPTION:
At the City Council Meeting held on November 5, 2002, Council accepted the bid for replacement of the
Civic Center and Shannon Center telephone and voice messaging system. The disposition of the NEC
telephone system being replaced was not determined at that time.
Per Municipal Code section 2.38.040 regarding the sale of surplus property, bids for the NEC system were
solicited through an announcement on the City's website. The bid information was also circulated through
a newspaper listing. No bids were received by the deadline of December 31, 2002. On January 17, 2003,
the NEC telephone system was decommissioned and was placed in surplus storage. At that time, the City
still had not received any viable offers on the out-going NEC system.
Subsequently, the Information Systems Manager made contact with nearby cities that were utilizing NEC
equipment, to determine if there might be interest in obtaining this system (for spare parts or future
expansion). The City of Antioch responded and has now made a formal offer of $500 for the surplus
equipment, as is, and without warranty. The $500 bid exceeds the estimated $200 that the surplus
equipment would bring at auction. This NEC system is not completely compatible with Antioch's current
telephone system, thereby minimizing the system's monetary and functional value to that City.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution in Attachment 2 accepting the City of
Antioch offer to purchase the surplus NEC telephone and voice messaging system.
