TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: RONALD A. NAULT, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ALTERNATIVE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to sign the attached Pacific Bell Master
Agreement for Provision, Installation and Maintenance of
Telecommunications Service, appropriate $43,000 from the
unappropriated reserve of the Equipment Replacement Fund, and
further approve the Pacific Bell Joint Marketing Proposal for
Equipment and System Maintenance.
DISCUSSION:
During the past six months, as we've approached the completion of
the new police facility, we've been evaluating the City's.
telecommunication options. Staff has had serious concerns about
the reliability of the existing equipment and whether we should
continue to operate an in-house PBX System. The City has operated
an in-house switching system for approximately fifteen years.
Prior to 1987 the system was an old digital "Clacker" system that
gave adequate service and was relatively simple to maintain. It
only did two things, let people call-in and call -out. As in a lot
of other areas telecommunication technology had rapidly advanced.
So much so that by 1987 we were told by our contract maintenance
people to quickly f ind an alternative or deal with the system being
down for extended periods of time because they could no longer find
parts to keep it operative.
Our immediate thought was to call Pac Bell. Our goal was to remove
the PBX from our site and switch over quickly. Because of the Bell
System divestiture, which was still in its early stages, Pac Bell
could not completely respond to our needs. We ended up hiring a
Telecommunications Consultant, went out to bid and ended up with
another in-house PBX.
Over the past five years we have had what we consider to be
significant problems with our telecommunications equipment. While
.. the majority of problems have been equipment failure, inadequate
service, overheating, etc., we must share part of the blame. 'We
are not adequately staffed to have someone properly dedicate time

to managing a PBX System. When the system was first installed the
City Manager's Executive Coordinator was the System Manager and for
the past four years the Finance Department Secretary has assumed
responsibility for the system.
System failure is frustrating for all of us but it becomes critical
for the Police Department. During the last earthquake both the
Police Department and the Del Amo location went out of service, Pac
Bell did not. The Police Department operated on 12 emergency
lines, Pac Bell service, for over 24 hours. When the entire system
fails staff spends an inordinate amount of time tracking the
problem and monitoring the service personnel. As we approach the
final phase of the City Hall remodeling and the Police have settled
into their new facility, staff feels it is time we make a change to
a more reliable telecommunication system.
Staff has evaluated alternatives to our existing system but, we
have focused more of our attention on the Pac Bell Centrex System,
the main reason we have is our goal of removing the PBX from our
site. An item as critical to us as telecommunications should
probably be located off site and maintained and monitored 24 hours
a day in a facility specifically designed for the optimum operation
of a switch. Secondly, we are not adequately staffed to properly
manage and utilize an on site PBX. Based on the attached exhibit,
there is a cost benefit to changing from our current system to
Centrex. As a point of information, the corporate yard and the
water yard are both on Centrex and have been for about two years.
They have both had very good experiences with the system.
Staff's recommendation is to enter into a 96-A Agreement with Pac
Bell to provide Centrex services for the next five years. Under
the new operating procedures, Pac Bell can now offer below tariff
price:9 'on their kine service if requested by the customer, at a
fixed price for a fixed period of time, typically, three, five or
ten years. This is their General Order 96-A Contract. An
additional thirty (30) percent of the monthly per line charge can
be saved by prepaying the contract. Staff recommends this
prepayment as a means of maximizing our savings and controlling
costs over the next five -six years.
To realize the full benefits of Pac Bell and Centrex, staff further
recommends that we enter into an agreement with Pac Bell as a
single point of contact and take advantage of their joint marketing
program. Because of the divestiture Pac Bell cannot manufacture
equipment, including desk instruments. But, the rules have been
changed to allow them to market Centrex service and equipment
together with the equipment manufacturer, joint marketing. This
now allows them to compete with the PBX suppliers on a more even
Alternative Telecommunications System

playing field. They presently only joint market with Pac Tel
Meridian; GTE and David Systems. Each vendor has a special purpose
use that they have designed to take full advantage of the Centrex
capabilities and maintain a performance standard acceptable to
Pacific Bell. These are the only vendors to* date who have met the
strict performance standards set by Pac Bell.
Because Pac Bell will only joint market with these three vendors
and the City wishes to utilize -them as a single point of contact,
staff recommends that the City Council approve Pac Bell as a single
source vendor under Section 1624D. Bidding: Exceptions of the City
of Tustin Purchasing Ordinance. Pac Bell has selected and
recommended Pac Tel Meridian for the equipment vendor. David
Systems was not cost effective for our system, they are primarily
a data transmission and voice.system and GTE verbally declined to
propose at this time.
As can be seen on the attached exhibit, the six years savings is
projected to be $153,000 or about $25,500 per year. I've used a
six year comparison because of the complication of the City Hall
construction schedule. It is proposed that if the City Council
approves staff's recommendation, the Police Department will cut
over to Centrex by September 30, 1992. The full impact of the cost
savings will not be realized until the balance of City Hall
relocation to the new facility, approximately 12 months from now.
So we are looking at two five year periods. Phase I includes the
prepayment of $76,209 for five years of Centrex service and
maintenance for the police department and $43,000 of new phone
equipment. Phase II will include $62,000 of additional Centrex for
the balance of City Hall and $29,000- of new equipment. The four
remaining years budget will be for approximately $5,000 per year
equipment maintenance costs.
Staff has contacted the cities of Fullerton, Irvine and Buena Park
who have all selected Centrex under the proposal conditions and who
have all been very satisfied with the quality of service after the
cut o er.

4. ',TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS
Pacific does not transfer title to the Service system under
this Agreement. Customer is, however, granted the right to use
the Service offered subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Pacific accepts the responsibility for risk of loss of
or damage to any hardware or software associated with the Service
provided hereunder, except to the extent that such loss or damage
arises out of or is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Customer, its officers, agents, servants or employees.
5. INSPECTION
Should an Addendum provide for a new installation of Service
or Service upgrade, Pacific agrees that all Service hardware and
optional features to be provided in the system will be thoroughly
tested to ensure that no mechanical or electronic problems exist,
and that all Service features are operational in accordance with
Pacific's published manual and technical specifications.
A. Within thirty days of the effective date of any Addendum
which includes a new Service installation or Service upgrade,
Pacific will submit to Customer, if appropriate, for review and
approval, a specific Service implementation schedule that includes
a milestone plan showing the orderly progression of events leading
to the timely installation or upgrade, completion and Cutover of
__ Service. The plan will include, equipment, delivery,

plan shall consist of a minimum of two parts: functional tests
and performance tests. If requested by Customer, the tests shall
be conducted by Pacific in the presence of an authorized
representative of Customer. Failure to meet the requirements of
any portion of the test plan shall be deemed a failure of the
test, which must be rescheduled after appropriate corrections have
been made.

commencing at completion of installation or upgrade of each
location. Pacific's personnel will monitor and correct any
service problems until a consecutive thirty day period for each
location has elapsed over which performance is reasonably
satisfactory to Customer. The performance test is to determine
performance under day-to-day operation.
D. Final acceptance for each location will be made
immediately following successful completion of the performance
test for each location. The Customer will be liable for Service
charges at Cutover for each location except to the extent that
charges will be adjusted to reflect unsatisfactory service as set
forth in Schedule Cal. P.U.C. No. A2.1, Rule 14. Failure of a
test shall be deemed to have occurred when any material common
system performance requirement, feature, or component does not
perform substantially as specified for each location.
8. ORIENTATION AND TRAINING
A. Pacific, after advising Customer that the service is
installed or upgraded and ready for use, and prior to Cutover,
shall provide an orientation session for Customer's
telecommunications management officials. The orientation, as a
minimum, shall include an explanation of basic principles, theory
-- and structure of the Service, as well as demonstrations of

and charges for Service in excess of such maximum shall be
provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and computed as set forth in the applicable Addendum.
C. Customer is subject to the nonrecurring charges set
forth in Schedule Cal. P.U.C. No. A3.1 and Schedule Cal. P.U.C.
No. A9.1 for subsequent additions and/or moves or changes of the
Service included under any Addendum to this Agreement, unless
otherwise specified in the applicable Addendum.
D. In the event Customer moves any location, as such
location is described in each Addendum, Pacific shall perform a
financial study to determine the rates and charges for the new
location. A modification to the affected Addendum will be
executed to reflect the change in monthly rates and charges, if
10
-- any, and to reflect the charge for relocating the Service.
Customer shall not incur any penalty or termination charges for
such relocation and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply,
provided that Pacific offers the same central office service out
of the central office serving the Customer's new location and that
facilities and operating conditions permit. All other terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect. If Customer
moves its location to an area where Pacific does not offer central
office service, or where facilities and operating conditions
prevent relocation, or if Customer requests to discontinue its
Service covered by any Addendum hereunder, Customer shall be
responsible for the termination charges described in the
applicable Addendum.
