Change Order to City Hall Construction <br />Contract <br /> <br />Summary and Recommendation <br /> <br />Since the design of the City Hall project was being finalized, approximately 18 months ago, the <br />computer networking industry has established their next level of network cabling, components <br />and equipment. This newest line of equipment is commonly referred to as "Category 6". The <br />equipment that was designed for our building is called "Category 5". The Cat 6 equipment is <br />designed to handle 1 0 times more data than Cat 5 equipment. Although the Cat 5 equipment <br />would meet our needs at this time, the Cat 6 equipment is being recommended so that future <br />computer and phone system upgrades can occur without needing to replace cabling and other <br />components which would be much more expensive to do in the future. The cost associated with <br />the upgrade from Cat 5 to Cat 6 is $27,549. <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: <br /> <br />Consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a Change Order with Commodore <br />Construction in the amount of $27,549 to provide improved data and phone system components <br />to City Hall during the renovation project. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Aeenda <br /> <br />GLT.
