It is <br />anticipated that a cost to wire a new facility would be about <br />$1,500 - $2,000 and the ‘cost of acquisition of additional phones <br />to serve the Police Department in that new facility would be <br />about $2,300. It is felt that the current systems maximum has <br />been reached so many times that the need for better customer <br />service outweights the expenditure. <br />Issue #2 - It is recommended that the City have the_ Premier <br />System proposed by Telephone Specialists be installed. While <br />Interior's initial price is lower, the cost of move and expansion <br />more than negates the difference. Additionally the phone <br />instruments of the Premier system are more "user friendly" and <br />useful instruments than either Interiors "Telrad or <br />Communications World "Toshiba." <br />As this is proposals and not bids and the price is below $15,000, <br />the City is not required to take the lowest bidder. <br />PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by _, seconded by _, that the Council <br />direct staff to enter into a contract with Telephone Specialists <br />to install a new phone system.
