DESCRIPTION:
WAN LAN Solutions (WLS) has submitted a proposal to provide and install network data switches to
replace the City's aging equipment. The WLS proposal was the lowest in cost among the three proposals
received, but has also been determined to be comprehensive and to meet the needs for the City of Dublin.
The following table provides a cost comparison for the proposals that were obtained.
$ 29,452.40 includes installation labor
$ 30,028.46 does not include installation labor
$ 33,092.86 does not include installation labor
WLS qualifies as a specialized consultant in this field and submitted a proposal that was both detailed and
cost beneficial. The WLS proposal will not exceed the funds available in Internal Service Fund budget for
equipment replacement.
The WLS proposal will replace the aging network data switches that have been in operation since 1999
and are now due for replacement. Network data switches are a crucial component in establishing a
networked/connected computer environment. The City's computers, servers, and printers are connected to
network data switches that provide the access to the City's multi-user computer applications, to printing
services, to the E-mail system and to the Internet. The WLS proposal includes an equipment package
from a well-respected manufacturer in network data switching; with a reputation for solid/reliable data
switching equipment; competitive pricing; and an excellent warranty.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution for a services agreement with WAN LAN
Solutions and authorize the City Manager to execute that agreement.
