AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 4, 2004
SUBJECT: Communications System Upgrade Work at the Dublin Swim Center
Report Prepared by: Steve Pappa, Information Systems Manager
ATTACItMENTS: Budget Change Form
RECOMMENDATII~N~~Approve Budget Change in the amount of $13,750
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: This request requires a $13,750 transfer from the Contingent Reserve
Account (001.10800.799.000) for work planned and authorized as part of the Communication System
Upgrade, Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 93220, to connect the Dublin Swim Center to the Civic
Center computer network and telephone system.
DESCRIPTION:
Work on the communications upgrade for the Dublin Swim Center computer network and telephone
project is part of the CIP for Fiscal Year 2003-2004 (CIP 93220) and was scheduled for completion prior
to June 30, 2004. The original design configuration planned for the use of an existing Digital Subscriber
Line (DSL) circuit connection to the Civic Center computer network via the Internet. However adequate
DSL speed could not be delivered by the provider as expected; additionally, the DSL connection at the
Swim Center has been very susceptible to computer viruses.
The Parks and Community Services Department relies heavily on the CLASS and E-connect registration
system at the Swim Center. In order to service the public effectively, a fast and reliable connection to the
Civic Center computer network is required. In mid-May, the registration for summer classes will begin
and Staff feels it is imperative that the City move toward a better solution as soon as possible.
Therefore, the City's best option for both speed and reliability is a pointrto-point high speed digital
connection (TI) data line between the Dublin Swim Center and the Civic Center. The one-time costs for
routing equipment and professional services required for the T1 line is an additional $13,750. Although
the DSL line will be decommissioned, the monthly operational expense of the TI line is an additional
$107 per month (approximately), which will be absorbed by the Aquatics operating budget. ,
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Budget Change in the amount of $13,750.
