Hansley, City Manager Date: October 2, 1997 Subject: Ordinance No. 132-97, Amendments To The Annual Appropriations Ordinance Initiated by: Marsha I. Grigsby, Director of Finance ~~-- This Ordinance requests additional funding for capital related projects/equipment. The appropriation requests in Section 1 for the Dublin Road bikeway and the computer equipment were included in the 1998-2002 CIP. The Dublin Road bikeway was originally programmed for design in 1998. It is being requested to initiate the design work early in order to have estimates on the construction costs of the tunnels at Dublin Road and Memorial Drive and Dublin Road and "~' Brandonway in the spring of 1998. These costs can then be considered for funding as part of the annual bikeway allocation in 1998 which is completed in conjunction with the annual street maintenance program. The City Engineer has confirmed that the $195,000 appropriation should be sufficient to design the bikeway and the tunnels. The 1998-2002 CIP reflected the additional funding that would be needed in 1997 for computer equipment was $150,000. This estimate had been revised based on quotes received for the equipment. The funding will provide for the equipment needed to connect the City buildings after Time Warner has installed the fiber. See the attached information prepared by Peter Huzenitz, Director of Information Technology. Section 1 also requests funding for exterior electrical outlets at the Community Recreation Center, including the pond area. This will allow for improved holiday lighting and better access to electrical sources for other events. Section 2 through 5 provides funding for public infrastructure improvements identified as part of the Pizzuti TIF and the Rings Road TIF (Duke).

WPD CITY OF DLBLIN City Wide Networking Recommendation Peter Husenitza Information Technology Director October 1, 1997 City Wide Networking Pur ose The City of Dublin is looking for ways to realize productivity improvements, reduce operating costs, improve communication both internally and to the community, improve the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of information, and to provide easier and more immediate access to information. One of the obstacles towards achieving these goals is that data communication is not being accomplished between the various City of Dublin operations. Each City department /division operates within their own building without viable information access or data communication to other operations. ""`~" A city wide network can provide the avenue to connect the various City buildings in order to facilitate the free flow of information to wherever it's needed, whenever it's needed. Networking could provide some of the following applications generating a tremendous impact on City operations and services: • E-mail communication • Internet access • Interactive budgetary and financial information • Interactive purchase requisition • Enable an enterprise Geographic Information System (GIS) • Group scheduling • Hardware and software resource sharing • Information sharing across all levels of the organization • Enable improved public and business information access • Etc. Time Warner has indicated that the fiber optic cabling to all of our buildings will °~ be completed by November of 1997. We will now need to utilize this fiber by connecting to the proper networking equipment within each building. Technology During this process of city wide connectivity, a networking technology change needs to occur that will have a major impact on the network operation and long term investment. Some of the existing network topology is proprietary, is not the current industry standard, and allows for relatively slow data transmission. As a means of comparison, this present token-ring networking operates at a speed of 16 megabytes per second (mbps) while an ethernet solution can execute at speeds of 100 mbps -more than b times the speed. Page 1 City Wide Networking Ethernet networking will also enable: • Lower cost expansion of the network both on connectivity equipment and personal computer adapters • Less expensive to build a large high performance network • Most devices include ethernet interfaces. We presently pay additional costs to remove the ethernet interface and replace it with token-ring. • Ethernet presents a network that is easier to manage • Switched ethernet performs better than any other technology • Ethernet is the industry standazd for networking • Properly positions the City for network growth and future utilization The networking equipment that I am proposing has been chosen for strategic and long-term implications. Transmission volume, future growth, and industry standazds have been addressed. Costs /Recommendation We have obtained three quotes for ow examination. Each vendor offers a viable solution. I am recommending the least expensive solution as I feel it is comparable and answers to all of ow needs and requirements. The recommended vendor is one of the leaders in this industry and will also enable a refund on some existing equipment. The three quotes were: • Cisco $268,497 • IBM $387,343 • Bay Networks $154,928 +~~ This project will also require fiber termination to be accomplished at each building. Time Warner will not perform this task. Cabling of City Hall needs to be ~.,-:.. completed in order to replace the slow and propriety cabling system. Lastly, appropriate network adapters aze required for each personal computer. We have also attempted to present a scenazio that will be the least disruptive to present operations. Implementation of the networking will be phased in, by division, keeping the network operational for all others. Costs: - Bay networking equipment and installation - Fiber termination and City Hall cabling - Network adapters for each PC Total - Estimated equipment refund Grand Total Page 2 $154,928 $14,456 $15,936 $185,320 -$6,000 $179,320 -~ City Wide Networking Summary Dublin needs to react to business and community demands in the most efficient and effective way possible. Technology must be used as a tool to enhance our operations and enable staffto respond to the fast paced and dynamic environment. A city wide network is one of the first steps towards enabling technology for the City of Dublin. Page 3
