FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF MITEL SOFTPHONE LICENSES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of Mitel softphone
licenses from Radcom Technologies for the IT Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Administration) for an amount
not to exceed 16,450.
BACKGROUND: This purchase will allow additional physical phone hardware and new soft
phone licenses for various City locations. A soft phone is a "software -
based" phone that allows you to make phone calls over an internet
connection without needing a physical hardware (i.e., a desk phone), and
it can be installed on desktops and most mobile devices. This will also
allow staff to access their office phone when they are away from their
desk.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing and interlocal
agreements with Sourcewell as allowed by Texas Local Government
Code, Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Section 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Radcom Technologies. IT and Purchasing staff have reviewed the contract
for departmental specification compliance and pricing. It has been
determined that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval
