Subject

Res 2022-47 - Approval to Purchase 53 Fiber Termination Panels with Splicing Trays, through Omnia US Communities Contract #EV-2370.

Background

The City's 53 traffic cabinets are in need of Fiber Termination Panels with Splicing Trays for each of the City's signalized intersections. The current splicing panels are becoming obsolete, with plastic connectors similar to the end of a telephone line. Over time the plastic has become brittle, likely due to the internal temperatures within the traffic cabinets, especially throughout the summer heat. In many cases, the plastic is so brittle that the fiber connections just fall out of the ports they are plugged into. These newer style fiber termination panels utilize a sturdier aluminum plug harness that should hold up much better.

The panels are available for purchase through Omnia US Communities Purchasing Cooperative Contract #EV-2370

Please direct any questions to the Public Works Director.

Staff Recommendation

As with many materials and electronic components, we are being told there is a 4-5 month lead time on these panels. Despite this purchase being included in the draft budget for FY 2023, staff recommends an early approval to purchase, so we can place and order and receive these devices as soon as reasonably possible.

Staff request approval to purchase 53 units at $231.10 each, for a combined total of $12,354.30.

Fiscal Impact

Amount :	$12,354.30
Source of Funds:	General Fund
Account Number:	110-43165-89530

Fiscal Impact:

Funding is proposed in the FY 2023 draft annual General Fund budget for this purpose. Early ordering is necessary due to supply chain disruptions and long lead times for orders.
