On January 15, 2019, the City Council authorized the purchase and installation of a new Mitel telephone and voicemail system in an amount of $313,005.36 from IntelesysOne replacing the existing Avaya phone system, which is no longer supported . During the course of work, changes to the voice switches were required due to needed additional analog devices at the Civic & Cultural Center and the Brea Community Center, and the license bundle was upgraded to the advanced level to provide additional features for programming the system and the phones. Along with a few minor changes, the additional cost including tax came to $10,609.74, or about 3.4% more. The prices for the additional requirements were based on the State of California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS), which are in accordance with the federal General Services Administration (GSA) contracts and the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) which is a nationally procured contract.
Since the increased amount exceeds the Administrative Services Director's authority under Purchasing Code §3.24.140 – Change Order amount of the lesser of 5% of the original purchase amount or $5,000.00, City Council's approval is requested for this change order.
