Fr- <br />F-A- <br />AUG 21199® Boa 611 u, <br />COMMUNICATION CABLE FROM ADMIN. BLDG. TO HEALTH DEPT. BLDG. <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/10/90: <br />DATE: AUGUST 10, 1990 <br />TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICE <br />SUBJECT: COMMUNICATION CABLE <br />ADMINISTRATION BUILDING TO HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUILDING <br />BACKGROUND: <br />With construction for the new Health Department Building, there will <br />be a need for telephone and data communications between that <br />structure and the County Administration Building. We are presently <br />leasing telephone company lines to accommodate the various needs. <br />This leasing should continue in the new building. It is estimated <br />that our cost for leased lines will be a minimum of $1,800.00 per <br />year when occupancy is established in the new building. <br />It is proposed that we install a fifty (50) pair communications cable <br />between the new building and our Administration Building that will <br />enable us to take advantage of our telephone switching equipment to <br />meet the telephone and data requirements for the Health Department <br />Building. The construction of such a cable would be designed so as <br />to include the Purchasing Warehouse and its communication needs. We <br />are presently leasing three (3) lines to that facility at a cost of <br />$922.00 per year. The proposed cable would eliminate that cost, <br />also. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />With construction to began on 26th Street and 19th Avenue within the <br />next four (4) weeks, I feel quick action should be taken to initiate <br />the cable project in order for proper sleeveing to be installed under <br />the streets. <br />FUNDING• <br />It is estimated that cost to install such a cable would be less than <br />$10,000.00. Monies for this project would come from the construction <br />budget of the Health Department Building project. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends the above described communications cable be <br />installed. Since the construction cost exceeds the minimum bid <br />amount and time is of the essence due to street construction, it is <br />requested that staff be granted permission to take quotes for the <br />project and begin installation as soon as possible. <br />44 <br />
