Council Meeting Minutes August 23, 1994 Page 7 I Council Business. continued Fulton presented the award of bid for the installation of cable/cable data conduit between the City Hall and the Family Service Center (FSC). Council recently approved the purchase and installation of a new telephone system for all City facilities. Haigh, Todd and Associates was hired to establish system requirements, assist in selection of vendor and products, and assist in designing and managing the system. Because the same trench will be used between the City Hall and FSC, it is feasible to include the network computer cabling into the project. Three proposals were received. The estimated budget for telephone wiring ranged from $10,925-$12,400. The resultant bid of $14,058.85 for telephone is over the anticipated bid because the cabling distance between City Hall and FSC was much higher, and additional service points were identified within the FSC. Also, an electrical code violation was discovered with the existing wiring system and the cost to correct this would be $2,953.24.
