9. APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH LOGICALIS FOR CISCO/WEBEX
CALLING PHONE SOLUTION The City’s current phone system is an on-
premises Mitel platform that has reached its end-of-life and is no longer
supported. Migrating to a new system is essential to eliminate security
vulnerabilities and system failures that could occur once manufacturer
system patches cease. Mitel’s recent bankruptcy and subsequent
restructuring also create long-term uncertainty for hardware and on-going
support. Transitioning to a modern, cloud-based solution mitigates these
risks with built-in disaster recovery and seamless remote work capabilities
within a compliant and scalable communication infrastructure. A new
system will also have less emergency repairs that are inherent with legacy
equipment, thereby achieving reduced monthly costs.
Recommendation: Recommend the City Council: 1. Approve Resolution
26-17 authorizing the use of National Association of State Procurement
Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint Purchasing Program to purchase the Cisco
Webex Calling phone solution with Logicalis, a Cisco account partner, in
accordance with Section 1625(c) of the Tustin City Code; and 2. Authorize
the City Manager to execute necessary contract documents with Logicalis
for the purchase. RESOLUTION NO. 26-17 A RESOLUTION OF THE
