Item/Subject Order, Contract Award- Telephone Dial Tone and Long Distance
Services
Responsible Department: Purchasing
Commentary:
In March the City received four proposals for dial tone and long distance services. Since that time, the
Qty's telecommunications consultant has been reviewing the proposals and negotiating with the
respondents. The attached tabulation outlines the final prices for the various services requested. Phase I
represents the City's costs for all services as they are now. Phase II prices reflect the City's probable
cots after the new Inefttitional network (I -net) and new equipment are installed
It is interesting to note that Verizon, the provider of all telephone lines since the beginning, did not
respond to the City's request for proposals. Their reason was that they could not be competitive in
today's market. This explanation was home out in the proposals that we recewed. The lowest prices
were submitted by Mid -Maine Communimtans and their annual prices were about $47,000 less than
what we currently pay for the same services.
The contract award recommendation to Mid -Maine Communications was reviewed and approved by the
Rnance Committee on June 5, 2002 and referred to the City Council for final approval.
