CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
PURPOSE OF UPGRADE
Current CAD/RMS software is 11 years old. The vendor no longer has technical support staff with
the knowledge level required to properly maintain this outdated version of their software. The
software will not calculate dates properly as of 01/01/2000. Information captured and stored on both
CAD and RMS is date stamped for both informational purposes, and in some cases, for legal
purposes.
The Fire Department shares usage of the CAD computer. Police cannot use their grant funds on the
Fire Department's share of a new CAD or on Fire RMS. The Fire's current RMS is a small
standalone system incapable of meeting the department's needs. The Office Automation (OA)
computer,used by both public safety and non-public safety, has exceeded its maximum capacity, and
cannot continue to support the City's OA needs. Usage has increased from 50 users in 1990 to over
600 users. The Police Department is waiting to add 200+ users. The current machine runs the VMS
operating system. OA is accomplished through use of a DEC product for VMS called All-In-1 which
encompasses WordPerfect for VMS and Lotus 1-2-3 for VMS.
DEC no longer supports All-In-1. VMS based OA applications experience infrequent upgrades and
enhancements, unlike PC based Windows OA applications. VMS based OA is likely to become
obsolete and is difficult to learn and use compared to PC based applications. Most new hires and
employees with home computers are knowledgeable in the use of Windows based OA applications.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department (SBSO) has announced their move to NT,
Windows 95, and a client/server environment. They have also chosen Tiberon's software. It is
important to the Police Department to remain compatible with the SBSO for sharing of critical
information.
SOLUTION
The RFP for the Information Systems Network Upgrade project was sent by Purchasing on March 6,
1997 to a total of 17 vendors. Three responses were received. An evaluation form was developed
and raters identified.
The network component is the most critical component of the project. Dr. William Aguilar, Vice
President of Information Resources and Technology at Cal State, San Bernardino, was asked to
review the three bids. He recommended Mr. Jim Bentley,Network Engineer, in Cal State's Network
Services Division, as the most qualified technical resource for evaluating the bids. The other rater
was Jim Babinski,Director of MIS for the City of Fontana, along with MIS Technical staff. Based on
the evaluation criteria, the Committee of raters recommended the firm of Spire Technologies, Inc.
Spires' proposal was also the least expensive.
MIS and Spire began further negotiations on June 3, 1997. Spire acquired 2 for 1 pricing for network
management stations, saving the City $20,000. Spire negotiated an agreement with Digital
Equipment Corp (DEC) to allow the City to take advantage of DEC's Education, State, and Local
Government (ESL) program pricing for PC's for thousands in savings. Spire offered the DEC PC's
with a clone chip at a savings of another$144,000 to the City. Each month throughout the term of the
1
r '
project, Spire will provide the City with a menu of enhanced PC configurations being offered at the
time for the same or less money.
The original CAD/RMS replacement cost estimate was $1.3 million at the time Council approved the
Police Department's grant application. The current cost, including Fire, is $1.8 million. This
required further reduction of the balance of the project. Spire and MIS worked to pare down costs
without significantly affecting the project. Final total cost is $4.7 million, which is $1.5 million less
than the original estimate.
Careful attention was given in all areas of the project to expansion capabilities to increase the life
span of the City's investment. Spire will act as prime vendor with a total of nine subcontractors, to
manage and complete the project.
MIS STAFFING LEVELS
The proposed vender has made reference to the issue of staffing resources within the MIS Division to
adequately support the City's current and future technological environment.
The complexity of the new client/server environment, and the supporting network infrastructure are
expected to further impact the City's demand for MIS services and timeliness of delivery.
It is recommended adequacy of current MIS staffing level to support the upgraded City technology
environment be referred to Council Personnel Committee for their review.

FUNDING
Police grant of 8/96 $1,114,251
Police grant interest $ 50,000
a CDBG $ 21,864
Police grant of 7/97 $ 321,000
Code Compliance $ 51,000
(97/98 budget)
Bond Issue $3,212,849
(includes City match of 8/96 police grant
in amount of$101,941) _
TOTAL FUNDS $4,770,964
TIME FACTOR
Police grant funds are required to be expended by September 30, 1998. Tiberon requested an 18
month window to complete the Police and Fire conversion effort. If approved on July 21, 1997, the
vendor has only a 13 month window in which to complete the project.
The VMS based OA computer has been at maximum capacity for months and is impeding the City
Departments' ability to use OA capabilities to their fullest to perform daily operations, and to expand
their usage requirements.
CONCLUSION
The City has combined two large critical replacement projects to save money. Two separate
procurements would have cost the City more money and lessened the buying power of both police
grant and bond issue dollars. Police and Fire CAD/RMS replacement required those departments
move to PC's. The two departments represent half the City OA users, adding further incentive to
upgrade to PC based OA at this time.
MIS and the vendor of choice have worked to adequately meet the City's needs at the least possible
expense. Annual budget cuts increase the need within all City Departments for tools to allow them to
continue to provide adequate service levels to San Bernardino citizens. The Final agreement is a
combination of the original RFP, the vendor's response document and the purchasing services
agreements.
A project schedule will be developed immediately following award. The network upgrades will take
place first to set up the infrastructure required by all other components of the upgrade. The Police
and Fire conversion process will be at an accelerated pace and will begin immediately following the
network upgrades.
Conversion to PC based OA and related training will occur in logical groups within departments and
is expected to be completed within a 12- 18 month window. Police and Fire OA conversion will take
place in sync with their CAD/RMS conversion.

Spire Systems, Inc. Final Revision -July 1, 1997 Page 4
Spire Systems, Inc. is pleased to offer this proposal for a network upgrade to the City of
San Bernardino. It has been carefully prepared based on our best understanding of the City's
requirements as set forth in the RFP document and on information received during the bidders
conference and in subsequent communications with the City and its agents.
The City of San Bernardino will find a partner in Spire, with the ability to interface
directly with the major supplier of systems and services in this proposal, Digital Equipment
Corporation. Spire is one of only 22 direct digital VARs in the U.S. Unlike other Digital
reseller's, Spire has direct contact with Digital manufacturing, service delivery units, and product
managers.
Spire Systems, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sento Technical Innovations
Corporation, which has been licensing and supporting software for Digital computer systems
since founded in 1986. Spire Systems was formed in 1992 to provide Digital Systems Integration
solutions to Spire's extensive base of software customers.
Spire has helped other enterprises make the transition from OpenVMS to Windows NT.
This is the largest single migration most organizations will make within 20 years, or within the
span of a professional IT career. For this reason, Spire knows that the transition must succeed at
every level, especially with end-users who accomplish their jobs. Spire's transition and training
plans are focused on preventing frustrations and maintaining the highest possible level of
productivity among City personnel. Spire has special qualifications for providing Office
Automation solutions, as a leading provider of Office Automation software in the Digital
marketplace for over 10 years.
Spire is a Digital Gold Key Services Manager, the highest level of Digital service reseller.
This was achieved through a combination of proven proficiency with Digital products and
service offerings. Spire offers the full range of Digital services, including warranty uplifts and
extensions, complete multi-year agreements, and the renewal, conversion, and management of
your service agreements. All services are provided on-site by qualified Digital technicians.
Spire is qualified to provide the City of San Bernardino's Network Upgrade because of
our established expertise in the following areas:
• Office Automation
• Networking
• User Training and Support
• System and Storage Management
• Network Management
• System Security & "Firewalls"
• Custom VAX and Alpha upgrades

GIS Upgrade
The GIS upgrade is a relatively small but important part of the City's upgrade plans. The
GIS upgrade is interdependent with other upgrades (such as the network) and as such will be
scheduled with the City as soon as installation becomes practical.
Spire Systems, Inc. Final Revision - July 1, 1997 Page 6
Office Systems Upgrade
Spire believes that the Office Systems Upgrade portion of this project is actually the most
important--the critical nature of the network and CAD/RMS application--because it is the level at
which most City personnel will experience the migration. Spire has developed a plan for staging
PC deliveries to the City.
Spire will provide 1 Windows NT server in the training facility. The first 15 PCs to be delivered
to the City will be set up and connected to the training facility server. These 15 PCs and single
server will remain in the training facility until the completion of the contract.
** deleted 5/30/97
Training
Spire understands that training is essential to the success of the entire migration process.
Users must be comfortable and productive as quickly as possible during the migration. To insure
this, Spire proposes using COMPUSA, to provide the professional training services required.
COMPUSA is one of the world's largest Authorized Technical Education Center (ATEC) for
Microsoft products.

Spire will act as an aid and facilitator to interface Network requirements during the installation of
the infrastructure.
** amended 5/30/97
Spire Systems, Inc Final Revision -July 1, 1997 Page 10
3.2.2 TCP/IP Addressing--DHCP, DNS, WINS
** amended 5/30/97 - MIS staff to perform DHCP, DNS, and WINS.
DNS:
When the average user attempts to access the network resources, the user knows the name of the
computer, like SABLE, but not the computer's IP address. If the user is running a PC with NFS
client support, or FTPing to the computer, the user will reference the computer by name, e.g.
(SABLE), and the system will access a HOST TABLE containing a mapping between the
computer name and the IP address.
The difficulty of the HOST TABLE lies in its administration: who loads the information in these
HOST TABLES?For typical NFS clients, the host table information resides on local computers,
which mean that either the users need to know enough about the host files and TCP/IP addresses
to update the information on their own, or someone from MIS needs to maintain the information
on a server and, have the updated file down loaded periodically.
Some environments implement the Domain Name System (DNS) that is server based HOST
TABLE information, where the user needs only to specify the address of the DNS server.
However, this does not alleviate the matter of updating the information; it simply pushes the
responsibility to the MIS department. Although DNS is server based, it is not Dynamic, and must
be updated wherever a computer name or IP address is changed.
DHCP:
The office automation department has a NT server Domain "Business" and a Windows NT
Server-based computer,\\SABLE, with an IP address of 200.192. The new client is a Windows
NT-based computer with DHCP client support.
The windows NT-based client starts NT and issues a DHCPDISCOVER message (containing the
MAC address and the computer name, which is picked by the DHCP server. The DHCP server
looks at the most recent table of available addresses, and finding no reference to that computer,
offers an available address to the computer.
Any DHCP server receiving the request (even across a BOOTP-relay router) and having a valid
configuration setting for the requesting computer can then check to see if it has an address
available. If there is an available address, the DHCP server will offer a DHCPOFFER response
with the necessary configuration information and additional parameters; including the destination
computers network card address, the offered IP address, the appropriate subnet mask, the IP
address of the offering DHCP server, the IP lease expiration date and any other pertinent
information specified in the parameter section of the original DHCPDISCOVER request.

3.2.3 Internet Security
Spire has extensive experience with Internet Security, including an entire department
focused on Internet issues. We have provided protection for Web servers nationwide, using tools
like Borderware, AltaVista Firewall, and Sidewinder. We have developed a solution for the City
of San Bernardino which we believe provides optimum protection at a reasonable cost.
3.2.3.1 Requirements Overview
3.2.3.2 CLETS Advisory Board Approval Required
Spire's firewall recommendation for the City of San Bernardino is Sidewinder from
Secure Computing. Spire is confident that Sidewinder meets or exceeds the security
standards of the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) advisory
board. Our analysis has lead us to conclude that Sidewinder is a more secure solution than the
Mergent Gauntlet firewall.
3.2.3.3 Firewalls
** amended 6/10/97
Spire is proposing firewalls running Sidewinder. Spire has chosen this software to meet
the requirements of the City.
3.2.3.3.1 Primary Firewall
The Primary Firewall, to be located in the City Hall Computer Room, will consist of the
following hardware:
PRIMARY FIREWALL HARDWARE:
1 FR-B40WW-AC Prioris MX 6200 RAID System
Note: to increase performance more memory was added
To optimize configuration.
1 FR-PC77M-BK 32-MB (2x16 MB),
2 FR-PC77M-BL 64-MB (202 MB),
1 FR-CECBA-BA SCSI Wide Hard Disk Drive
1 FR-PCB5K-AA Prioris HX 6000 Server Country Kit
1 VRC 15-KA High-Resolution Color Monitor
2 DE500-AA Fast EtherWORKS PCI 10/100
**amended 5-30-97
HARDWARE COST: $8,190.00
INSTALLATION COST: (FM-DECSV-IN) $300.00
Spire Systems, Inc. Final Revision -July 1, 1997 Page 12
PRIMARY FIREWALL SOFTWARE:
1 LI-XUSSWD-UNLM
SIDEWINDER UNLIMITED USER LICENSE
1 TN-XUSSDW-DEWX
ONE-DAY ON-SITE INSTALLATION AND
CONFIGURATION SERVICE
(INCLUDING TRAVEL AND EXPENSES)
PRIMARY FIREWALL SOFTWARE COST: $20,895.00
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION: (TN-XUSSDW-DEWX) $2,995.00
How Rroxv server will function as a yroxy address server:
A proxy is a program that controls communication between clients on one side of a firewall and
services on the other side. That is, an application client and application server on opposite sides
of a firewall do not communicate directly. Instead, the client and server both "talk" to a proxy
which forwards the application data back and forth.
Sidewinder provides these Internet services primarily in a transparent fashion using proxy
implementations as follows:
Network applications are typically accessed using one of two lower level communication
protocols: TCP or UDP. TCP is a connection-based protocol that guarantees delivery of data and
ensures address integrity. UDP is a connectionless service that delivers data with a minimum
overhead, providing a fast and efficient connection.
Spire Systems, Inc. Final Revision -July 1, 1997 Page 13
3.2.3.3.2 Secondary Firewall
The Secondary Firewall, to be installed in the Police Department, roo m 271, will consist
of the following hardware.
SECONDARY FIREWALL HARDWARE: Spire Systems understands
and will adjust the existing
Fiber in Closets 140 & 271

4.5.1.4 Switchover & Transition
A project of this scope requires a DYNAMIC FLEXIBLE PLAN that will be changed,
modified and adjusted as we go along. The KEY to Success here is the effective relationship
between the Project Manager and the MIS director. Many items can be installed in Phase I that
do not impact the day to day operations. Then finally in phase H co-ordination between the
Entities will need to be addressed to cause the least interruption as possible, with the least impact
to productivity .
PHASE I
a. Install active network components, (hubs, switches, brouters, etc), and connect to new
wiring/cables according to the City's schedule and the suppliers schedule worked out between
MIS director and project manager.
b. Keep as much existing network infrastructure in place as possible.
c. Involve interoperability testing on each installed building/floor/closet, etc. as required before
any switch over. This will give us integrity checks along the way. This will need to be done end
to end within same buildings per site.
d. Upon completion of ALL new active components and interoperability checks meet with MIS
manager and schedule a "DRY RUN" test of the least critical sub-networks first IE: make the OA
servers talk to the end user desktop locations first. Not Public Safety first.
e. Since some areas will not have parallel wire to the end user, (example: Police Department) we
will meet and formulate a scheduled transition with the MIS director and the project manager,
co-ordinating the Digital network installation person and the affected departments within the
City.
Network Transition
1. Public Safety will be done according to the Cities schedule. Security Aspects of Public
safety require everything to be ready before we SWITCH-OVER.
2. Ongoing starting with City Hall(upon award). First Months PCs 45 per month will
replace VT users. Remote locations to be scheduled with MIS &Project manager for
delivery &Training.
3. Install Remote locations Active routers &stackable HUB components as close as
possible to wiring schedule, (looking for the ability to test prior to switch over within a 1
week period. Frame relay as Departments will allow. Dependent upon access to T1
leased line installation could be 60 days after request, or AWARD.

PHASE II
This phase involves the scheduling of switch over by departments, buildings and remote
locations, a schedule will be established with meetings between the individual departments and
the MIS director and Project Manager.
Installation of servers will be on-going as Fiber Optic Technologies is performing bldg. wire and
cable runs for the "ROBUST INFRASTRUCTURE". This will allow us to test the servers in
most locations upon completion of wiring.

DOMAIN ARCHITECTURE
The new GIS systems will run NT 4.0 workstation software. They will not support "Local area Vax
Cluster". Nor will the preferred hardware, Alphastation 255/300's, work with Windows NT cluster
software. The smallest alpha SERVER that is supported is the model 1000 SERVER, no
workstations are supported. Therefore do not expect the features and functionality you have today
with LAVC, (Local Area VAX Cluster). Spire recommends that the existing LAVC remain intact
until the new GIS Alpha stations are set up and running the Application software and all aspects of
the domain naming Service, (DNS) is functional and tested before any switch over takes place.
Spire Systems, Inc. Final Revision - July 1, 1997 Page 37
ADVANTAGE OF DNS: Administration of 11P addressing on the Internet and Intranet.
DISADVANTAGES DNS: Manual, not dynamic.
DHCP ADVANTAGE: DHCP allows for dynamic and scalable TCP/IP addressing capabilities,
and ease of administration. No workstation configuration is necessary , and users do not need
to know anything about the systems TCP/IP addressing.
Spire Systems Proposal requires return of the old 3100 model 76 workstations 1 year after
installation of the new NT alpha workstations. This will allow ample time to implement the best set
up of the new NT domain server.
6.3 Data Transfer
Unlike CLUSTER technology you have today, the access of data between the 3 new NT
Workstations will be via peer to peer using TCP/IP protocols. The setup of the hard disk on each
system will be shared directories\disks. The path will be defined, allowing shared access. The
system manger has responsibilities to maintain the system architecture.
Further discussion prior to consulting with the application software vendor is speculation at this
point. Spire however does feel that a MECHANISM can be and will be achieved.
** deleted 05-16-97
• Spire's proposal also includes the installation of the hardware, the NT 4.0 software,
and the tape backup software on site.
The custom installation of DHCP, DNS, WINS. that will meet the City's need to make the
GIS systems independent from the OA systems, yet still allowing data to be shared/accessed by each
of the three system hosting Public safety data, Public Services data, GIS data, and Domain log files.

7.3.3 Workstation (Client PC) Acquisition
7.3.3.2 Manufacturer
Spire is proposing all Digital Equipment Corporation PCs. Digital is a "tier-one"
manufacturer,with a reputation for exceptional quality and service. Having a single manufacturer
simplifies support issues, both for the City and the organization providing contract maintenance.
The systems Spire is proposing all include a three-year, on-site warranty. As technology
continues to evolve, Spire's implementation Plan will allow the City to take advantage of both price
decreases, and technology improvements.
7.3.3.3 Cost Basis
Spire proposes to provide Digital PCs to the City of San Bernardino under a new Digital
program intended to provide the best possible pricing for educational, state, and local government
accounts. This program DOES NOT allow Spire to provide PCs to the City of San Bernardino
on a Cost-plus basis, as requested.
** amended 05/30/95
The ESL (Education, State, and Local Government) program from Digital, offers PCs at a
specially reduced price through selected resellers. This special price is deeply discounted from list
price, and is not discountable to the reseller. Spire's cost and the City's price will be the same. Spire
will get paid quarterly by Digital in the form of a rebate, ranging from 5% to 9%, depending on the
product volume and mix.
The ESL pricing is below Spire's raw cost, and obviously below the cost-plus 5% model
Spire proposed for the City.
Spire is willing to provide PCs to the City on a cost-plus basis, as the City has requested and
Spire has proposed. However, the ESL program promises to be the most cost effective way for the
City to acquire PCs for years to come.
As originally proposed, Spire will continue to supply the City with monthly, published price
lists with interim updates to capture major product and pricing announcements from Digital.

7.3.3.11 Batch deliveries of PCs
Spire has developed a plan for staging PC deliveries to the City so that they can be used for
training. PCs will be delivered at a rate of about 45 per month; in three weekly shipments of 15
units. The 15 PCs will be fully assembled with all necessary software loaded. The PCs will be set
up and connected to the network in the training facility. Each PC will be identified by a sign with
the name of its user, who is also the person enrolled for training. After training the PC will be
moved to the associated user's desk and installed for use.
This plan accomplishes several of the City's objectives: It provides for orderly, logical staging
of the PCs, and it provides an ideal training scenario for each user, giving them access the exact
environment in which they will be working. The same premise will apply to technical support and
management staff.
7.3.4 PC Confieurations
7.3.4.1 City Hall PCs
Spire will assist in disposing of or selling any surplus equipment that the City wishes to
dispose of as the upgrade progresses, including VT terminals. As appropriate, Spire will attempt to
return the equipment to the manufacturer for trade-in credit, or dispose of it through third-party
brokers.
Example: The (3) 3100 model 76 workstations will be returned for a credit of$500.00
ea. towards the new Alpha Workstations one for one.
A) Any surplus equipment on the City's list will be checked against the current Digital
Equipment Corp. "SBU AMERICAS SYSTEMS TRADE IN MENU."
B)If the surplus item is not found on the current Digital SBU MENU, Spire will then use its
existing sources to assist in the sale of equipment.
Spire's Project Manager will provide assistance in the sale or disposal of older/used "SURPLUS"
equipment.

8.3.3.3.8 Data Conversion Training
As part of the data conversion process, Spire will train selected City of San Bernardino MIS
Technical Staff in the use of the data conversion tools and procedures used to move files from ALL-
INA to Microsoft formats.
8.3.4 Pro am to Facilitate File Conversion
As the developer of WordPerfect for OpenVMS and Lotus 1-2-3 for OpenVMS, Spire
Technologies is uniquely qualified to provide the service of migrating from ALL-IN-1 file cabinets
to conventional computer files. Spire is accustomed to dealing with ALL-IN-1 naming issues.
Spire employs CABINET CONVERTER to help facilitate the file conversion process. This
tool will remain available to the City of San Bernardino after the essential files have been migrated,
so that City personnel can continue to migrate selected files on an as-needed basis.
8.3.5 Switchover of ALL-IN-1 Mail to Microsoft Exchange
The same tools and experience Spire uses to convert other ALL-IN-1 files will be used to
convert ALL-IN-1 Mail messages. The migration from ALL-IN-1 Mail to Microsoft Exchange will
be eased by making saved messages accessible.
8.4 Helndesk

Appendix A
City of San Bernardino
Test & Acceptance Plan
Spire Systems, Inc. and the various sub-contractors servicing the City of San Bernardino
have implemented test and acceptance policies designed to assure the City that it has a fully
working solution. As components are delivered and installed over the one-year period of
performance, they will be individually tested and undergo a thirty-day acceptance period. The
acceptance period for the entire solution is one year, plus thirty days.
For maximum protection, each deliverable is redundantly checked in four phases, as
described below.
• Diagnostics
These are the diagnostic procedures normally run by the manufacturer or supplier upon
installation. This phase insures that all components are in working order upon
installation.
,,,, • Infrastructure
All deliverables will be tested with respect to connectivity within the infrastructure of the
City of San Bernardino solution. This phase establishes that components can
communicate with the other components with which they are directly connected.
• Functionality/Interoperability
All deliverables will be tested to be sure that they function as they are supposed to within
the total City of San Bernardino. This phase establishes that components can operate
with other components to which they relate, but to which they are not directly connected.
This phase will be an on-going part of the project.
• Acceptance Period
All Components are subject to a 30-day acceptance period. Components are deemed to
have been accepted after 30-days if they performed at 98% reliability or better, or if the
City has not specifically rejected a components for failure to perform. Notwithstanding
the acceptance period, all warranties periods shall fully apply.
The Test and Acceptance and Plan is integrated with the Delivery Plan and the Payment
Plan for the City of San Bernardino. For more detailed information on the installation and
acceptance of any given component.

List and the body of this RFP, use professional judgment.
10.All Server and network backbone hardware shall be rack-mounted, except
where inappropriate.
11.Although price is an important consideration in the selection of the successful
bidder, such award will not necessarily be made to the bidder submitting the
lowest priced proposal, but rather the bidder submitting the "best" proposal. In
this case, best also includes the ability of Bidder to demonstrate that Bidder
a) possesses an in-depth understanding of the issues important to the
successful completion of this project, and an ability and desire to solve
problems that will be encountered,
b) can perform the work to accepted industry standards, and within an
acceptable time frame,
c) can provide a plan and schedule which assures a smooth transition from old
to new systems, maximizing productivity of City operations and staff,
d) can provide a creative PC delivery mechanism with flexibility and which
maximizes the longevity of the proposed solution and the benefit to the City
of evolving lower prices and higher performance.
12. City reserves the right to reject all bids, or to exclude or modify portions of the
Scope of Work. If a portion of work is excluded or modified, contract fee will be
adjusted appropriately, by mutual agreement.
13.City reserves the right to modify configurations of PCs, including software to be
provided and quantities, with concomitant adjustment of prices.
14.With other qualifications being similar, the City will give preference to
vendors or sub-contractors with a local presence, and that also use local
staff.
0.4. Applicable Codes and Earthquake Protection
All installations must meet applicable Fire and Building codes.
EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION: All network and server equipment installed as
part of the project covered by this RFP, shall be secured against tipping or
sliding in the event of an earthquake.

1. OVERVIEW OF SCOPE OF WORK
The Management Information Services Department of the City of San Bernardino
(the City) is offering this Request For Proposal (RFP) to solicit bids from selected
vendors to upgrade the computer network, computers and software in use by the
City. The successful vendor will provide hardware, software, installation, and
training services, resulting in a "turn-key' installation.
1.1. The goals of this upgrade are:
1) Install a robust network infrastructure to allow city departments access to all
network resources they are authorized to use regardless of location within the
City. The network will maximize the potential for accommodating future needs
for bandwidth and performance. The major backbone elements of this upgrade
will serve City Hall and the Police and Fire Departments (Public Safety). A re-
wiring of City Hall is part of this upgrade.
2) Implement a Windows-based office automation system, including office
applications and enterprise-wide electronic mail (e-mail).
3) Upgrade the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management
Systems (RMS) hardware. The software upgrade is not part of this RFP.
4) Upgrade GIS hardware.
5) Provide secure access to the Internet for improved communication and
information gathering.
6) Establish two Intranet servers. One for City Hall and one for Public Safety.
7) Establish a Web server for the City.
8) Provide a smooth transition between usage of existing systems and the new
systems to minimize loss of productivity by City staff during the transition, and
maximize productivity after the transition.
9) Provide adequate training to maximize productivity during and after the
transition.
1.2. The project is divided into five areas of activity:
9.2.1. Internet Connection
A) Connection of the City network to the Internet must protect the sensitive nature
of some data held by the City. This project will provide access for City
employees to the Internet for e-mail, and the World Wide Web (WWW).
B) Provide Internet"firewalls' to protect City resources from the outside world.
C) Provide Web Server to host the City's Web site.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 1 Page 4
1.2.2. Network Upgrade (WAN and LAN)
A) Currently the City provides dumb (VT) terminal-based services to its users. This
project will install new network hardware and upgrade the telecommunications in
use at all remote locations.
B) The existing high speed network within City Hall will be extended, and new
remote locations will be added.
C) Complete re-wiring of City Hall will be performed.
1.2.3. Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) /
Records Management System (RMS) Upgrade
Upgrade the hardware for the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records
Management Systems (RMS) in use by the Police and Fire Departments (Public
Safety). The CAD/RMS software upgrade is being addressed in a separate
contract, and will be performed by the Public Safety software vendor. This RFP
only addresses the hardware aspects of the CAD/RMS Upgrade Project
Note: The City may choose to purchase Public Safety hardware from its Public
Safety software vendor. However, the CAD/RMS parts listing is provided so that
vendors may submit their solution and cost for the City's consideration. City
reserves the right to exclude this hardware from the contract with the vendor.
If included in this project, the hardware vendor will be required to install a new
network, server and workstation hardware at the Police Department. Vendor will be
required to coordinate the hardware installation with the Public Safety software
vendor through the MIS Department.
1.2.4. Geographic Information System (GIS) Upgrade
Replace three VAXstation 3100s with three Digital AlphaStations running Microsoft
Windows NT. Vendor, with information from the GIS software provider, will aid in
data conversion.
1.2.5. Office Systems Upgrade (OA)
Implement a Windows based office automation (OA) system, including office
applications and enterprise-wide electronic mail (e-mail). Roughly 500 PCs will be
acquired over an 8-12 month time frame. Installation, training and service are
important components of the upgrade.
Currently, the City operates a Digital ALL-IN-1 office automation system. This
software allows access to WordPerfect for VMS and Lotus 1-2-3 for VMS for word
processing and spreadsheet applications respectively. ALL-IN-1, itself, provides e-
mail capability.
This architecture will be replaced by a PC-based system and extended to other City
departments in order to unify the City's computing environment and to substantially
improve productivity.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 1 Page 5
1.3. Materials and Plans To Be Provided
Vendor will:
[I] assist in disposing of (selling) any surplus equipment that the City wishes to
dispose of as the upgrade progresses.

G/SPD VMS VAXstation 3100
GISMIS VMS VAXstation 3100
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 2 Page 7
3. INTERNET CONNECTION
3.1. Introduction
A) The City network will not be connected directly to the Internet; rather, the City
will connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) who will in turn connect to
upper levels of the Internet
B) The City connection to the Internet will be secure. This security will be achieved
through the use of 1iirewalls.'
C) The intent of the City in connecting to the Internet is to allow access for City
employees to the information stored on the Internet, and to provide electronic
mail access between the City and other entities.
D) The City will also provide information and services to the general public on its
own Web Server, thus becoming an Internet information supplier.
E) The City intends to develop an Intranet for internal information delivery.
3.2. Internet Service Requirements
3.2.1. Connection speed
[1] Provide: access for the City to the Internet, initially via a Frame Relay
connection at 128 kb/s, but with capability to increase speed to T1 level using only
hardware capable of T1 to avoid future hardware upgrades.
3.2.2. [j] TCP/IP Addressing—DHCP, DNS, WINS
Vendor must configure the TCP/IP network using the DHCP, DNS and WINS
technologies to simplify computer address administration. Implementation of these
technologies must be robust enough so that the failure of any one Server will not
result in the failure of that technology.
[1] Bidder must describe how these technologies will be used to achieve that
end.
Vendor must present an address plan for static addressed devices. A block of
IP addresses are to be procured through a chosen ISP.
3.2.3. Internet Security
3.2.3.1. Requirements Overview
The City has two distinct security requirements to be met:
1) To protect the City network against unauthorized access internally and from the
Internet, and
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 3 Page 8
2) To further protect the Public Safety network from the rest of the City network.
Figure 1 depicts the City Internet Connection.
3.2.3.2. [1] CLETS Advisory Board Approval Required
The Public Safety network is connected to the California Law Enforcement
Telecommunications System (CLETS), and as such, any upgrade to the Public
Safety network must be approved by the CLETS Advisory Board. City MIS and
Police will coordinate the approval of the vendor's plan with the CLETS advisory
board.
The CLETS Advisory Board will not accept calls from vendors. Questions
concerning security issues and the Public Safety network will be addressed directly
as discussed in the GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Item#15. The board will have
review authority over the Public Safety portion of the proposed network. Vendors
should be prepared to provide to the City, in their proposal, detailed information on
firewalls proposed.
It is expected that the main area of concern to the CLETS board will be the firewalls
that protect and isolate the systems. Other large local law enforcement agencies
have in use the Mergent Gauntlet firewall by Atlantic Computing. This product is
mentioned here simply as an example product that has been approved for use by
the Dept. of Justice. Special attention should be given to the security rating of
proposed firewalls. Typically, the Dept. of Justice standards are comparable to
those of the Federal Dept. of Defense as baseline standards for security ratings.
3.2.3.3. Firewalls
Both the Primary and Secondary Firewalls must use the same hardware and
software, except for network connection.
3.2.3.3.1. Primary Firewall
[�] Provide: a Primary Firewall, which will be located in the Computer Room of
City Hall. It will limit access to those services and entities that are authorized; e.g.,
e-mail and Web site access. This machine will effectively stop all incoming traffic
from the Internet to the City, and will also be used to block outgoing traffic so that
only authorized users can access the Internet. It is expected that the Primary
Firewall will be a Proxy address server.
[I] Bidder will describe how the Proxy address Server will function.
See Parts List: [Networked Computer Systems : Internet Firewalls]
Installation, warranties and technical support are required.
3.2.3.3.2. Secondary Firewall
[�] Provide: a Secondary Firewall to be installed in the Police Department,
m between the Public Safety network and the main City network, in Room 271. The

Connection to the Internet
Secondary Firewall must use two dual-attached FDDI connections. Vendor will
reconfigure fiber in Room 271, as necessary.
This will block most traffic from the City network. Typical traffic allowed will include
network administration, e-mail and Internet Web pages.
When combined with the significant physical and operating system security that will
be employed by the Public Safety network, a very secure environment for Public
Safety shall result.
See Parts List [Networked Computer Systems : Intemet Firewalls]
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 3 Page 10
3.2.4. Web Services
3.2.4.1. Intemet
The City currently maintains several public web sites.
The existing web sites will be transferred by MIS staff to the new Web Server.
Maintenance of the Server hosting the Web site will be performed by MIS staff;
however, content will generally be maintained by the departments providing the
information.
This new Web Server will be used by all City departments to provide information to
the public.
3.2.4.1.9. Internet Web Server
[�] Provide a centralized Web Server, hardware and software, for public use, to
be installed outside the primary firewall in City Hall.
See Parts List [Networked Computer Systems : Intemet Server]
3.2.4.2. Intranet
This is a Server which provides information distribution services internal to the City.
This allows users to utilize their Web browser to obtain internal information in the
same format as Web pages.
3.2.4.2.1. Intranet Public Safety Server
The Public Safety OA Server will serve as the Intranet Server for Public Safety staff.
[I] Provide: Intranet Server Software, and Tools which permit retrieval and
presentation of data from the various Public Safety databases and other information
sources.
3.2.4.2.2. Intranet City Hall Server
The City Hall OA Server will serve as the Intranet Server for non-Public Safety
users.
['] Provide: Intranet Server Software, and Tools which permit retrieval and
presentation of data from the various City databases and other information sources.
3.2.5. Web Page Development Software
[I� Provide: web page authoring and site maintenance tools.
3.2.6. ISP Recommendation
[l] Vendor will be responsible for recommending the best local ISP.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 3 Page 11
The connection must support T1 speed. Selected ISP will be proven reliable, cost-
effective, and be able to provide required service levels.
Assigned IP address range of approximately 2000 addresses must be portable.
Block of addresses will be needed early in the project.
Bidder must indicate how ISP provider will be selected.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 3 Page 12
4. WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) UPGRADE
This project will upgrade the network infrastructure which all systems and servers
use to connect to one another.
4.1. Existing WAN
The City currently has approximately 20 locations connecting to its Wide Area
Network (WAN). The backbone of the existing WAN is a dual attached station
FDDI ring that connects a Chipcom Galactica hub in the basement of City Hall with
an FDDI router in the Police Department. The remaining sites (approximately 17)
connect to the WAN via dedicated phone lines that terminate in the basement of
City Hall. Also, the Economic Development Agency has fiber to City Hall. It is
managed and funded separately, and is not a part of this project with the exception
of connection with City Hall for the City's cable TV operation which is moving into
the EDA building.
4.2. Proposed WAN Diagram
See separate diagram of proposed WAN, entitled: "City of San Bernardino,
Proposed Wide Area Network,'which is in Appendix C.
4.3. Telecommunications Provider
[1] The City currently uses GTE for telecommunications services. The City will
consider alternative providers. Proposal must indicate which telecommunications
vendor will be recommended, and the costs associated with the services required
must be included in the proposal.
4.4. Frame Relay Upgrade
A major facet of this upgrade will be the extensive use of Frame Relay technology
to connect sites.. Sites already connected to the City WAN will not require new data
circuits with the exception of approximately 8 - 9.6k analog lines currently installed.
[p Install New Data Circuits at approximately 29 remote locations and upgrade
remaining sites as necessary.
4.5. WAN Upgrade Project Components
4.5.1. City Hall Upgrade
4.5.1.1. Existing Network
Most VT terminals, PCs and printers within City Hall located in the basement
and 1"floor are served from the basement. The remaining such devices, and
those on all other floors are served out of the and floor network closet. This
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 4 Page 13
closet is very full, so that installation of more equipment and wiring needs to be
carefully planned.
4.5.1.2. Overview of Upgrades to be Performed in City Hall:
A) Build a switched FDDI network backbone. [Fiber must also be extended to the
4'h and 5`h floor network closets from the 3`4 floor closet. See 4.5.1.3.2 New
Fiber]
B) Upgrade communications closets with necessary hardware to connect the
network backbone to the new wire plant. See C below.
C) Install new CATS wire plant throughout City Hall. Existing CAT3 wiring will
remain in place. Wiring will terminate in various network closets, as described,
below.
4.5.1.3. [p Build FDDI Backbone
Provide a Digital GIGAswitch1FDDI [called Switch] to be installed in the Cable room,
in the City Hall basement, and all necessary hardware to support the WAN, as
shown on the Parts List [WAN : Main Switch]
The City Hall network will be a switched FDDI network, based on the Digital
GIGAswitch, which allows multiple FDDI and Fast Ethernet segments to connect to
each other and to be switched across a high bandwidth backplane.
This switch will connect network servers with full-duplex, dual-homed connections.
Intelligent switching hubs will be connected back to the FDDI switch with full-duplex
FDDI-Single Attached Station (SAS) connections.
The Switch has the following characteristics:
Crossbar technology
Capable of full-duplex transmission
Non-head of line blocking
ARP suppression
Firmware upgradable to IP packet switching
Fault tolerant power
Support multiple physical interfaces (e.g., Single- and multi-mode fiber, UTP,
T3)
Support Multiple Spanning Trees
SNMP manageable
Hot swappable line cards
The Switch creates virtual LANs between FDDI segments, Fast Ethernet segments,
and will support future ATM upgrades. Data links can be attached to either an FDDI
ring, a single FDDI endstation, a single ATM endstation, an ATM switch, an FDDI
bridge, or another Switch. As demands for additional bandwidth increase to
support video and other technologies this Switch will accommodate that growth.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 4 Page 14
4.5.1.3.1. Switch Connections
A) The Switch will provide FDDI-Single Attached Station (SAS) connections to the
Hubs located in the City Hall basement and in Network Closets on the 3`d, 4th
and 5'" floors.
B) The Switch will provide FDDI-Dual Attached Station (DAS) to the Secondary
Firewall located in the PD.
C) The Switch will provide Dual-home FDDI TP-UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
connections to: four network servers located in the City Hall basement. New
CATS wiring is required to connect the servers.
4.5.1.3.2. New Fiber
[I] Twenty four strands of fiber currently terminate in the 3rd floor closet Extend
fiber to the 4th and 5th floor Network Closets by extending 8 strands to the 4"' floor
and 8 strands to the 5d'floor, from the 3rd floor.
4.5.1.4. [1] Switchover & Transition—Disruption of Operations
A) Switchover from the Galactica to the GIGAswitch can only be performed during
a prescribed time and for a duration satisfactory to City operations, and must
be coordinated through the Director of MIS.
B) Only a minimum disruption time to existing operations will be permitted,
amounting to not more than several minutes. The public safety environment is a
dynamic environment in which non-planned emergencies may delay planned
downtime for switchover outages. Vendor will expect and fully cooperate with
MIS and the Public Safety departments to plan for and adjust to the special
requirements of the Public Safety environment.
C) A detailed plan must be presented by the Vendor describing the precise steps
that will be taken to perform the switchover, at what point in the upgrade the
switchover will occur, and further detailing of steps to be taken to reverse the
switchover in case of trouble. Bidder must outline a plan which shows that
Bidder understands the issues involved.
D) An additional transition between the existing system and the upgraded system
must be carefully planned for the Police Department, since there will not be
parallel cabling to the user locations.
Continuous operation of the CAD/RMS system must be preserved; hence, only
momentary network interruptions will be tolerated, and those must be coordi-
nated through the Director of MIS.
Transition of CAD/RMS software operations is not part of this RFP, as it will be
handled by the Public Safety software vendor. However, Vendor must
coordinate equipment installation with the Public Safety software vendor
through the Director of MIS.
These transition solutions must be a part of Bidder's proposal.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 4 Page 15
Upgrade Network Closets
4.5.1.5.1. Intelligent Hubs
Intelligent switching hubs will be placed in the communications closet of the
basement, 3`d, 4d' and 5'h floors. [Similar equipment for the Public Safety
network is described in 4.5.2 The Public Safety Network Upgrade.]
These hubs will have fault tolerant power supplies and multi LAN technology
(e.g., Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM etc.).
These hubs will connect back to the main Switch with a full-duplex FDDI-
SAS connection. Port switching 1013ase-T repeaters will connect users.
User ports will connect to one of six Ethernet LAN segments within the
switching hub. These segments will be then switched together in the FDDI-
to-Ethernet switch. Six remaining full-duplex Ethernet ports can be used for
power user external connections. Additionally, a Fast Ethernet/Ethernet
switch will supply two ports of Fast Ethernet and twelve ports of Ethernet (all
full-duplex).

4.5.1.6. CATS Wiring Requirements
The wiring that currently terminates in the 3nd floor closet is CAT3. This will continue
to support the VT terminals in City Hall throughout the transition to PCs.
[I] Provide: complete CATS wiring installation, including patch panels, wall plate
mounted RJ45 jacks, and in-the-wall wiring for all required locations, as shown on
the floor plans in the appendix, conforming to the following requirements.
A) New CATS wiring will be installed from the newly upgraded Network Closets to
specified user locations within City Hall. Two connections shall be made to
each user, with two RJ45 jacks mounted on a single wall plate (dual mount,
for two connections for each user), with a color contrasting with the existing
jacks, so the new 10baseT jacks can be easily distinguished from the CAT3
jacks. Cable pulls will be approximate twice the number of ports listed on each
floor of City Hall.
B) CAT5 wiring shall be of a color contrasting with the existing CAT3 cables,
so they can be easily distinguished.
C) All components, such as patch panels, wall plates, connectors, punch down
blocks, etc., used for CAT5 wiring must be CAT5 certified.
D) Each CAT5 cable pull and termination may be tested to meet CATS
specifications. The vendor must provide a plan that will show how at least 20
percent of the cable pulls and terminations will be tested under the review of the
City. If more then 10 percent of the tested lines fail, the City reserves the right
to require the vendor to test all cable pulls and terminations under the review of
the City.
E) All jacks at user locations will be numbered with a logical system, and
correspond to the numbering of the patch panels and their jacks.
F) A map in AutoCAD .DWG format shall be provided showing locations and
numbers of all panels and jacks on City Hall floor plans.

4.5.2. The Public Safety Network Upgrade
The Public Safety upgrade will be performed in conjunction with the CAD/RMS
software upgrade project and the OA upgrade project. it is expected the Public
Safety software vendor will be ready to begin this project early in the overall
upgrade project. Vendor must coordinate scheduling of upgrade components that
impact the CAD/RMS upgrade so as to allow the Public Safety software upgrade
project to get underway in a timely manner.

City Hall to Police Department Proposed Configuration
4.5.2.1. Existing Network
A) The Police Department (PD) is connected to City Hall via a Dual Attached
Station (DAS)-FDDI ring.
B) Fiber media traverses 4 rooms within the PD; however, only room 271 is actually
connected to the FDDI ring. There is an Ethernet connection via fiber media
from room 271 to room 140, to connect the 1a floor. Both rooms house one 17-
slot 3Com ONline concentrator, these in turn support terminal server cards for
the installed VT terminals and 10baseT ports for existing PC's.
C) The wire plant in the Police Department is of type CATS and does not need any
upgrade.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 4 Page 19
The Public Safety (PS) upgrade comprises two parts:
4.5.2.2. [1] Install switches to support the CAD/RMS upgrade.
Provide: 48 ports of switched Fast Ethernet prior to CAD Servers installation; see
Parts List [WAN : Network Distribution Hubs : CAD (in Closet 271)]

192 ports of 10baseT from the second floor.
4.5.2.4. Transition Issues
See section: 4.5.1.4 Q0 Switchover&Transition—Disruption of Operations.
4.5.3. [1] Remote Site Connections
4.5.3.1. Special Requirements
it is important to note that the upgrade for remote sites must occur in
conjunction with the OA upgrade at those sites, including user training; each
site will be upgraded completely, at one time, with one period of operational
shutdown.
4.5.3.2. Existing Network
A) Remote locations which connect to City Hall, do so on a point-to-point basis via
the use of leased lines, except for one AIRLAN wireless connection from
Facilities management in the City yards to City Hall.
B) The existing wiring, in most locations with a wire plant, is CAT3, which is
suitable for this upgrade, except for"The Fire Department Main Station" (see
below). Many sites do not use a wire plant; they use patch cords because all
hardware is close together, and patch cords will continue to be used. A limited
number of sites have old RS232-C type wire plant, which must be upgraded to
CAT5.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 4 Page 20
C) City currently has approximately 30 Racal 6424 DSU's in use which vendor may
consider for re-use in this project. Re-use of any existing City equipment which
has not yet become dated would be welcomed.
4.5.3.3. [1] Common to all Remote Sites
See Appendix for list of Remote Sites.
A) Replace all leased lines with Frame Relay connections.
B) All existing hardware will be replaced.
C) All sites, including those which currently have no leased lines, will be connected
by Frame Relay connections.
D) Create Two major connection points to the Frame Relay cloud:
1) One at City Hall for all non-Public Safety locations; communications via
redundant T1 connections. However, the second T1 connection will only be
made if it will provide significant additional redundancy by taking a different,
geographically separated path to the telecommunications provider.
2) One at the Police Department for all Public Safety sites; communications via
dual (redundant) T1 connections, with caveat noted above.
E) Remote Sites, (See Remote Sites Listing, Appendix B)
Each remote site will connect via 56kB or 1280 Frame Relay, and be provided
with at least the following hardware, shown on the Parts List [WAN : Basic
Remote Site Connection Hardware : Basic Remote Site Connection

Telecommunications services will be provided by GTE or an alternative proposed by
Vendor. Almost all remote sites within the city are currently served by GTE. A
small number of locations are served by PACBELL.
4.5.5. [1] Network Management Stations
The ability to effectively manage this complex network is critical to its success
and an important part of its implementation.
Two dedicated network management stations will be installed for this purpose, one
in the Police Department and one in City Hall.
Both Network Management Stations will support the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). SNMP provides a way for network managers to monitor,
troubleshoot and manage a network composed of different types of hardware from
different vendors. This system will be able to be configured to support both the
network components and the servers and workstations that will populate the
network.
4.5.5.1. [1] Network Management Station Hardware
Provide Two Stations:
One station will be located in City Hall and the other in the Police Department
Minimum required configuration is listed on Parts List
[WAN : Network Management Stations].
4.5.5.2. [1] Network Management Station Software

required by the hardware listed. Vendor should provide an enterprise level
integrated network management solution.
4.5.6. [1] Dial-in Capability
Provide two 24-port modem pools, one at City Hall and one at the Police Department,
capable of supporting dial-back and Microsoft RAS connections. The selected device
must maintain its own security and be capable of directing connections to any system
on the network.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 4 Page 23
5. COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH (CAD) /
RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (RMS) UPGRADE
5.1. Introduction
The software upgrade for the CAD and RMS upgrade will be performed by the
Public Safety software vendor. Only the hardware upgrade will be considered
for possible inclusion as part of this Proposal.
5.2. Hardware
[I] Provide: 2 Digital Alpha servers for CAD, ( 1 mapping, 1 dispatching) and 1
Digital Alpha server for RMS, all running Digital UNIX. See Parts List [CAD/RMS
Servers - Digital UNIX]
[I] Provide: 30 Workstations for the Public Safety Dispatch Center. See Parts
List [CAD Workstations -Technology Only]
Because of the sensitive nature of the data stored on the CAD and RMS systems,
high levels of security and facility preparation are required. The following sections
describe how these systems will be installed to meet these requirements.
5.3. Facilities
The CAD/RMS system requires a facility equipped with uninterruptable power
supplies (UPS), proximity to the CAD workstations, and telecommunications
services. The Police Department facility meets these requirements. The entire
building is supported by a UPS and has adequate air conditioning. Suitably secured
rooms for hardware installation are available in close proximity to the workstations
that will connect to these systems, and all telecommunications services required for
CAD/RMS terminate in this building.
5.3.1. Coordination of Relocation of CLETS Connection
The County Sheriffs Dept. will work with MIS and the Police Dept. to relocate the
connection to CLETS, which is currently between City Hall and the County, to
connect between the Police Department main station and the County.
5.4. Networking
A switch will allow for the entire bandwidth to be available to update workstations.
This requires installation of a Fast Ethernet 100-Base-T data switch in room 271 to
connect the CAD Servers to the CAD dispatch terminals. The Wide Area
Networking section of this plan outlines further details of the network support for the
CAD system.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 5 Page 24
5.5. Security Considerations
The CAD application must be made as secure as possible. This system is
connected to the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System
(CLETS), and when this entire project is completed, to the Internet through its
connection to City Hall.
In order to secure CAD/RMS, a tiered 'firewall" system is to be installed as part of
the Internet connection. This firewall system will provide 2 layers of security
between CAD/RMS and the Internet.
For more information on the firewall and the Internet connection see Section 3:
"Internet Connection.'
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 5 Page 25
6. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
UPGRADE
6.1. Existing System
The Geographic Information System (GIS) is currently hosted on 3 Digital
VAXstation 3100 workstations. They will be replaced with 3 Digital Alpha
workstations. No application software installation needs to be performed; however,
the mechanism for performing data transfer must be set up.
These systems currently connect to the City's OA machine in the form of a VMS
cluster. The GIS application will be moved to the WINDOWS NT operating system.
6.2. New Hardware
[p Provide:
See Parts List [Networked Computer Systems : GIS Workstations]
[1] Bidder must propose a domain architecture, and discuss its advantages and
disadvantages.
A tape drive must be accessible by all 3 workstations.
The new systems will be configured to form a "local area cluster' in the basement of
kft�- City Hall. The new cluster will be independent of the old cluster in current use. The
new machines will use Microsoft Windows NT to form the cluster and TCP/IP to
communicate with other systems on the network. It may be necessary to us
DECnet to form the cluster. At this time, we are waiting for our mapping software
vendor to approve Windows NT.
One machine will be designated to hold the user authorization files and common
files that will be used by all the systems so as to minimize system administration.
TCP/IP will be installed after the systems have formed a cluster. The GIS software
will then be installed. Sample data will be downloaded from the existing systems
and the new configurations will be tested for proper operation.
6.3. Data Transfer
[1] An NT version of the GIS software is expected to be released during the period
of performance of this project. Installation of this new software is not a part of this
project; however, Vendor shall, with consultation by the GIS software vendor
through MIS, devise a mechanism for transferring data from the existing system to
the new system. After installation of hardware and operating system software by
vendor, and installation of the application software by the City, the data transfer
mechanism will be tested to the satisfaction of the City staff.
A special archive backup of the data will be made on the existing system as a final
precaution. Since all the machines will reside on the same network the data
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 6 Page 26
structures used by the application will be divided between the three new
workstations and copied as appropriate.
The new GIS systems will host data according to function; although any of the 3 will
be able to access data on the other 2. One station will host Public Works and
Public Services data. The second station will host 'base data" Public Safety data,
and the domain's logon files. The third station will host remaining City GIS data.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section if Page 27
7. OFFICE SYSTEMS UPGRADE
7.1. Existing Applications
Currently the City operates a Digital ALL-IN-1 office automation system. This
software allows access to WordPerfect for VMS and Lotus 1-2-3 for VMS for word
processing and spreadsheet applications respectively. ALL-IN-1 itself also provides
r
for e-mail capability. All of these applications run on a single VAX 4000 computer.
The replacement of this system, and extension of the new capabilities to the rest of
the City is the purpose of this area of work.
The City also operates several other applications Servers, which will be retained, on
Alpha and Pentium hardware platforms. These systems are outlined in the table
below:
Systems to be retained:
SYSTEM NAME OP SYS HARDWARE APPLICATIONIFUNCTION
SABLE Digital UNIX DEC Alpha 2100 Business System
IMGSRV MS NT DEC Alpha 1000 Imaging Server
JBSRV MS NT NEC Pentium Jukebox Server (Imaging)
IMGTXT MS NT NEC Pentium Full Text Server (Imaging)
OCRSRV wn V3.11 NEC Pentium OCR Server (Imaging)
BLISS MS NT Gateway PC Business License Server
(OCRSRV will be migrated to MS NT.)
Legend:
MS = Microsoft
DEC = Digital (Digital Equipment Corporation)
NEC = Nippon Electronics Corporation
In general terms, these systems will continue to operate in their current fashion.
However, some changes will be applied so as to complete their integration into the
upgraded network.
7.2. New Office Automation (OA) System Hardware
and Operating Systems
The new hardware for the City network is divided between servers and
workstations, or clients. The hardware discussed here is in addition to servers and
workstations noted in other parts of this document.

7.3. Workstation (Client) Hardware and Software
7.3.9. [1] New Office System Software
The new application software; e.g., word processing, will be installed on the 2
primary OA Servers and shared by users in locations so served. Users in locations
without a Server will have applications loaded locally on their PCs. Existing
applications, will continue to be hosted on the systems which currently host them.
[I] Bidder will recommend optimal configuration.
[J] Provide software shown on Parts List
[Networked Computer Systems : Software & Licenses : PC Clients]
Major Software is described, as follows:

Provide full-featured virus detection and removal software which must have the
ability to automatically detect that a floppy diskette has been inserted, and scan the
diskette for any viruses both at the desktop and on the Servers.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section Page 30
7.3.2. [1] Office System Software Acquisition
Bidder should select the most favorable mechanism for providing software
upgrades and support. Describe pricing mechanisms.
Microsoft and the State Of California have a contract which allows any public sector
agency to purchase software at the best price Microsoft offers to any of its
customers. This arrangement is through a Select Contract Agreement.
The discount level available through this contract is likely to be significantly better
than the licensing available under Microsoft's MOLP program which is available
through distributors.
Call the LA State Computer Store at: 800/915-9373. Contact Anne L'Heureux,
Branch Manager, or Ed Turriaga, representative for the San Bernardino area.
7.3.3. Workstation (Client PC) Acquisition
7.3.3.1. Introduction
Since the Office Automation (OA) PCs will be installed over an 8-12 month period,
PC technology and pricing will certainly change. The City wants to be assured of
the best pricing and latest technology for each group of PCs that will be delivered.
It is unlikely that funds will be available outside those acquired through this RFP to
upgrade PCs for the foreseeable future. Hence, maximizing the City's return on PC
investment over the longest possible time will be an important component of the
selection process.
Consequently, it is not possible to specify now what the configuration will be for

7.3.3.10. [1] On-site Warranty Service Requirement
On-site warranty service is required for the entire PC, including all installed
components. Quote cost and response time for on-site service. Indicate if
included, for what period of time, and cost after warranty period. Local vendor
preferred.
7.3.3.11. [1] Batch deliveries of PCs
A) Since it is expected to take between eight and twelve months to install and train
all users, PCs should be delivered at a rate specified by the MIS Director per
month. Quantities would be determined based on size of City workgroups
chosen to be upgraded each month. Installation and training must be
coordinated so that uninstalled units do not begin to stockpile.
B) Each month, or whenever there is an introduction of a new model or a price
change of more than 5%, the PC "menu"will be updated to take advantage of
updated pricing, models and configurations. PCs will be ordered from the menu
and be installed during an approximately one-month period.
C) It is understood that each batch of PCs will not necessarily be identical to the
previous groups of PCs because of market changes as mentioned above.
D) Bidder will propose a mechanism so that the City can take advantage of
expected price decreases and technology advances. In addition, as the
installation progresses, much will be learned, permitting changes in PC
configuration to assure optimal productivity.
E) City has an interest in a "refresher' agreement, which would ensure upgrading
of PC hardware long term. If vendor proposes such an agreement, (not a
Network Upgrade Plan - Section Page 34
requirement of this proposal), the document should be a separate document
with separate pricing and titled "PC H/W REFRESHER OPTION'. Cost should
not be included in this project's costs.
7.3.4. PC Configurations
7.3.4.1. [1] City Hall PCs
New PC client workstations will be installed on all floors to replace the existing VT
terminals. Most of the VT terminals are connected to the network through the data
closet on the 3nd floor. As noted in the WAN section, closets in the basement, and
the 3`d, 4h, and 5'h floors will be upgraded to service users throughout City Hall.
This will allow support for both VT terminals and the growing PC population during
the transition period. This strategy supports either gradual conversions or
accelerated upgrades for individual workgroups.
New PCs will be connected to the wire plant in City Hall that will be installed as part
of the WAN upgrade. Hence, there will be two parallel wire plants. The one
currently serving the dumb terminals will eventually be abandoned.
The new PCs will utilize services offered by the machines in the City Hall basement
In general, they will obtain shared copies of network office applications from the
new Office Applications (OA) Server. They will utilize the KEA terminal emulation
package to connect to SABLE to run applications on that system, as well as to
connect to ALL-IN-ONE, during the transition. They will also be able to connect to
disk drive services (a.k.a. shares) on SABLE, GIS stations and other NT Servers in
the network as necessary.
['] Provide a plan to dispose of (sell) the VT terminals as they are replaced.
7.3.4.2. [1] Public Safety Network PCs.
These will be installed on both floors of the Police Department They will have the
same software as the City Hall PCs. During the transition, they will use terminal
emulation to access ALL-IN-ONE served at City Hall. After the transition, they will get
their office applications from the Public Safety OA Server.
7.3.4.3. [1] New Public Safety Remote Site PCs
(These are the neighborhood Police Station and Fire Station PCs.)
They will be connected to the LAN at their location, which will connect to the City
WAN.
a) Remote Public Safety PCs will run Windows 95 and TCP/IP for network
communication. NT is proposed for the additional security features.
b) They will run the same applications as the Police Dept. PCs; however, the
office automation software will be locally installed.
c) Web browser software
d) Virus detection and removal
Network Upgrade Plan - Section Page 35
7.3.5. Upgrades of existing PCs
7.3.5.1. [1] Software
A minimal number of existing PCs not being replaced in this project will require:
a) Windows 95
b) MS Office 97
c) Terminal emulator
d) Web Browser
e) Virus detection & removal
f) Exchange client
g) SMS client
h) Metering package client
7.4. Management Software
Another issue in successfully implementing this network upgrade is the ability to
effectively manage the resulting network. Two system management workstations
will be installed to support this goal.
7.4.1. Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)
Microsoft Systems Management Server(SMS) is used to inventory PC hardware
and software, distribute software to clients, perform software audits, and provide
help desk functions. SMS will be installed on all of the NT servers and on every PC
workstation.
7.4.2. Metering/Reporting Software
[1] Provide metering and reporting software, and integrate with SMS. Bidder shall
propose.
7.4.3 Enterprise Network Management Software
[1] Bidder shall propose.
7.4.4 Helpdesk Software
[1] Bidder shall propose.
7.5. Remote Workstation Installation
Installation of workstations at remote sites (not City Hall or Main Police Station)
depends upon which remote location is being examined. The speed of the transition
for a given site depends upon the size of the site. The remote sites fall into the
following categories:
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 7 Page 36
1) "Small sites"
2) "Large sites"
3) Branch Libraries
For small sites a rapid conversion will be employed, i.e., the entire site will be
converted at one time including the WAN changeover. These sites will use the new
OA system for file and print serving; however, the machines at these locations will
have local copies of applications installed.
In the case of the branch libraries, a total transition away from VT terminals will not
occur due to the light pen system employed for checking out books; they will use
both terminals and PCs for the foreseeable future.
7.6. Data Conversion Software Aid
Vendor will provide training and a software program to facilitate data conversion,
described as follows:
A basic issue that Vendor will address is the difference in file naming conventions.
The ALL-IN-1 user recognizes a file by a name meaningful to him or her. The ALL-
IN-1 system actually uses another name that is meaningful only to the computer,
not the user. This issue will be apparent in all of the ALL-IN-1 data conversion
tasks. Vendor will solve this problem through use of a program that will copy the file
from its machine meaningful name to the name that the user knows it by. Once this
renaming is complete, MIS staff will copy the files from the old OA computer to the
new OA computer into the user's new file storage area.
Bidder will propose necessary products to aid in this process.
Network Upgrade Plan - Section 7 Page 37
8. TRAINING PLAN
A) Staffing is not a part of this RFP; however, training of existing staff is a part.
B) Adequate staffing, training and appropriate tools are essential to assure the
success of this project.
C) 'oov�de aud�f off' MlS sfaX, jcve�.
8.1. Propose hourly fee
[l] Training shall be offered at City Hall facilities to the greatest extent possible.
The City will provide facilities. Vendor will set up PCs and provide any required
networking and may use PCs destined for user locations for training purposes.
Bidder will explain how this will work.
[�] Bidder must propose an hourly class fee for training
[I] Describe the philosophy and method of training proposed, class size and how
the training will be organized. The Bidder will be required to submit a thorough
training plan for system users as well as the technical support staff
[I] Bidder shall estimate the total number of class hours recommended.
[J] Recommended number and duration for training sessions should be included
for each software product.
[I] Training classes must be made available up to two years after all PCs are
installed.
8.2. Training Goals
1) Training is to be provided to each user as close to PC installation for that user
as possible.
2) The goal of the training is for each user to become capable of being productive
with the software tools. To this end, class shall be a hands-on experience,
where appropriate, and small enough to assure that the training is time-effective
for the users.
3) It is expected that different users will have different training needs; however, a
minimum training will be required to orient even experienced users.
4) End users must be trained to effectively use the new tools that will be provided.
It is of primary importance that users be trained first in those software products
that will be replacing functionality of the existing system.
5) ALL-IN-ONE e-mail will continue to be used as the City standard e-mail system
until a switchover date, which will correspond to completion of the PC
installation and training. Notwithstanding, members of workgroups that become
PC-enabled earlier can communicate with each other via MS Exchange.

8.3. Staff Categories to be Trained
8.3.1. [1] MIS Technical Staff Training Needs
The positions listed below are the highest level technical support positions, and
therefore will be expected to understand their specific areas of responsibility, plus
have a basic, general knowledge of the entire environment All will need NT and
TCP/IP training early on in the project. The plan should expect a minimum of 2
people to receive every technical class, with the ideal being classes of 4 to 6 people
for each technical training class.
It is important that the MIS Technical Staff be offered hands-on training, on the
system actually installed, and as close to the time the system becomes operational
as possible.
During the transition period between operation of the upgrade and full training of
the technical staff, technical support must be available to help with day-to-day
operations.
8.3.1.1. Programmer/Analyst - Business System
Responsible for all aspects of the City's business system which is referred to in the
plan as Sable. No training is needed with regard to Sable.
Also responsible for the City's Imaging machines which are NT based. Although
none of the systems this position maintains are being replaced in the upgrade, this
position should have a basic general knowledge of the network, and requires NT
and TCP/IP training.
This position supervises 2 programmers. All 3 positions will need to learn to
develop software in Visual Basic. They should also be trained as developers on the
Internet Web server.
8.3.1.2. GIS Coordinator
Responsible for all aspects of the City's Geographic Information System. No GIS
related training is needed.
Also responsible for all aspects of the City's Office Automation System, and will
need NT and TCP/IP, and any other Gasses related to management of that system.
Should also have a basic knowledge of the network.
8.3.1.3. Programmer/Analyst - Communications
Responsible for all aspects of City communications.
Needs to learn NT, TCP/IP, FDDI, and fiber cabling basics, as well as each of the
many network management products mentioned in the plan. Must also be trained
on network security, including the Firewalls.
Will also be responsible from a system administration level for the Internet Web
server.
�EcrioN P�. 3
8.3.1.4. Programmer/Analyst - Public Safety
Responsible for all aspects of the City's Police and Fire systems. He will receive
software training from the public safety software vendor. This employee is new to
the MIS environment. His background is in law enforcement, however, he has a
good knowledge base in the field of computers and technology in general.
Should be able to see and monitor the network behind the second firewall at the
Police Department facility. Needs a solid understanding of the network and network
management. Will also be responsible for security behind the second firewall, and
will need a thorough understanding of firewall security features.
Will need instruction in NT, TCP/IP and system administration of the O/A server.
8.3.1.5. Operations Supervisor
Will be responsible for all aspects of management of the City's Intemet/Intranet at
the application level. It is possible that the two operators that will be supervised by
this position will do development of web pages and these three (3) positions are
expected at this time to need training with relation to the Intemet/Intranet.
8.3.1.6. MIS Director
Will expect adequate management level training to provide her with a solid
understanding of the new environment, its components, and technical functionality.
8.3.1.7 Other MIS Staff
Remaining MIS staff must be trained as appropriate.
8.3.2. Specialized User Training Topics
8.3.2.1. Internetllntranet Authoring
Training in the various Web page authoring and Web site management tools provided
will be offered.
8.3.2.2. Programmer training in Access, VB Enterprise
Edition, and Web site development tools
8.3.3. User Training
8.3.3.1. Background
Currently, users know how to use ALL-IN-1, WordPerfect for VMS, Lotus 1-2-3 for
VMS, and those business applications associated with their job function. While the
business applications expertise will continue to apply in the new environment, many
other aspects will change. For example, the character cell versions of WordPerfect
and 1-2-3 are much different than the new versions of MS Word and Excel that will
. Ci IG1! S IC,
be employed. Also, users will be using Windows 95, an Internet browser and a new
e-mail system.
The Exchange system will use SMTP to send and receive mail with extemal
organizations via the Internet. This capability is built into Exchange.
Conversely, ALL-IN-1 does not have a built-in SMTP capability. Adding this to the
old OA system would require additional software which would be used for a very
limited time, and it would require valuable time to configure and maintain during the
transition. For these reasons the two mail systems will not be able to communicate
with one another. While this will create some measure of dislocation during the
transition, it will allow the transition to occur more rapidly.
A) During the transition period the City will be using two separate mail systems.
B) Conversion of ALL-IN-1 mail to Exchange will occur on a user-by-user basis and
will be coordinated with PC and network hardware installations and user
training. The actual conversion will occur as a batch process. This will involve
extracting user data from the ALL-IN-1 File Cabinet intermediate files which are
then copied to the Exchange server and imported into the new mail system.
Data structures the user has created in their File Cabinet can be transferred to
Exchange.
8.3.3.2. [Not a Part] Conversion of Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheets to
Microsoft Excel
City staff will convert Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets to Excel following the same
procedure as that for WordPerfect documents. The spreadsheets will be renamed
and transferred to the new OA system. Once the spreadsheets have been copied
to the new OA system they will be converted by Excel as they are opened by users.
As above, the initial conversion will take a period of time depending upon size and
complexity of the spreadsheet, but further conversions will not be required so long
as the spreadsheet is saved in Excel format. There are approximately 3,000
spreadsheets that may require conversion.
8.3.3.3. [1] User Training
Training for users will be an on-going process, especially during the transition
period. Basic training in the use of the operating system and office applications will
be coordinated with the installation of new hardware. Every effort will be made to
assure that this training will occur immediately prior or immediately after installation
of hardware, although this may not always be possible. After users have received a
base level of training, detailed training in certain applications will be made available.
It is preferred that a training package be negotiated with a local vendor with a
specified number of each type of class available to the City over a timeframe of at
least 2 years. This would allow users to be sent to the classes they need at the
time most convenient to the City.
Topics to be covered in the User training are:
8.3.3.3.1. Transition Issues
8.3.3.3.2. Introduction to PCs and Windows 95
The unique features of the network should be instructed, tailored to specific groups,
especially users at remote locations, etc.
8.3.3.3.3. Introduction to the Internet and Web Browser
8.3.3.3.4. MS Word: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced (Office
97)
8.3.3.3.5. Excel: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced(Office 97)
8.3.3.3.6. Power Point: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced
(Office 97)
8.3.3.3.7. Exchange & Schedule+
8.3.3.3.8. Data Conversion Training
Conversion of data from the existing ALL-IN-1 system to the new NT system will be
one of the most important tasks in this project. The success of data conversion is a
large factor in the perception of success from the user perspective. No matter how
well the new network performs, if existing user data cannot be transferred easily
and reliably then the project can be perceived poorly.
8.3.4. [1] Program to Facilitate File Conversion
A basic issue that will be addressed is the difference in file naming conventions.
The ALL-IN-1 user recognizes a file by a name meaningful to him or her. The ALL-
IN-1 system actually uses another name that is meaningful only to the computer,
not the user. This issue will be apparent in all of the ALL-IN-1 data conversion
tasks. This problem will be solved through the use of a small program that will copy
the file from its machine meaningful name to the name that the user knows it by.
Once this renaming is complete the files will be copied from the old OA computer to
the new OA computer into the user's new file storage area.
8.3.5. [1] Switchover of ALL-IN-1 Mail to Microsoft Exchange
ALL-IN-ONE e-mail will continue to be used as the City standard e-mail system until
a Switchover date, which will correspond to completion of the PC installation and
training. Notwithstanding, members of workgroups that become PC-enabled earlier
can communicate with each other via MS Exchange.
ALL-IN-1 Mail messages will be converted to Exchange, as necessary. Vendor will
provide conversion software.
[Informational Only] Background for Staffing Requirements
.S,ceTI o- S PG.�2'
An accepted measurement of staffing level efficiencies is the ratio of LAN
system administrators to end users. This ratio is studied and updated on a regular
basis by several leading research groups. Meta Group and Infovision International
report ranges from a low of 40:1 to a high of 125:1. Currently, the City has 600
users on the City network and over 200 waiting for the capability to be able to join
the network. This total of 800 end users today yields a 200:1 ratio in the City. Any
future growth will increase the already disproportionate workload ratio.
Selecting a high middle value ratio of 100:1 for today's count of 800 users, plus an
allowance of 100 users for room for growth, would require a total of 9 high level
technical support staff. A lesser number of users per operator should be used to
identify correct level of lower level service positions due to the increased level of
service required at the intelligent desktop as opposed to simple VT terminals. Using
a ratio of 80:1 would require a total of 11 lower level technical service positions.
Programmers and clerical staffing levels are not addressed in these equations.
The current MIS staff of 4 administrators and 2 operators is grossly understaffed for
the existing and simpler VT environment, and is managing the City's environment
today through extraordinary efforts; however, the City must increase support staff
and provide training for new and existing staff to provide a satisfactory level of
support to the new network.
Increased complexity is a price to be paid for the added value that modem LAN's,
WAN's, and desktop intelligence provide. Lack of adequate support staff will create
a myriad of problems as users become frustrated with their inability to take full
advantage, and in a timely manner, of their new tools. Managers will also be
frustrated as expectation levels for increased productivity and efficiency levels are
undermined by their inability to get prompt technical support as problems or
questions arise.
8.4. Helpdesk
The City may wish to contract out the Helpdesk function. Vendor will address how
Helpdesk needs will be handled during the transition and afterwards.
8.5. Training for Helpdesk personnel
MS Office 97 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
MS Exchange
MS Windows 95

City of San Bernardino
Interoffice Memorandum
M.I.S. Division
TO: Fred Wilson, City Administrator
FROM: Janis Ingels, Director of MIS
SUBJECT: CalState Review of City's Upgrade Proposal
DATE: July 21, 1997
COPIES: Mayor and Common Council
------------------------------------------------------------
Councilman Devlin presented a copy of the City's RFP and
resulting proposal to Dr. Owen Murphy at CalState San Bernardino
for his review. MIS received a list of comments Friday afternoon
and again Sunday afternoon.
It should be noted there are literally dozens of methods of
configurating the City environment that would be viable, each with
it's own pros and cons. Were we to give the proposal to a dozen
different agencies, we would get a dozen different ideas for the
best methodology.
The City's criteria and focus for putting together the best
plan for this City's particular environment focused on the fact
that we are a Public Safety environment, the fact that our MIS
staffing level is small, the issue of the need for high security
levels, the need for stable, proven technology, the need for long
term expansion capabilities, and last, but not least, the City's
economic condition.
City MIS has a combination of over 50 years of technical
expertise and experience. We're confident we've put together an
excellent package for the City.
We created an RFP that clearly states the City's flexibility
in what we buy, quantities to be purchased, and that we will pay
current prices at time of purchase.
The prices in the current RFP have already fallen twice. We
will be spending less than what is quoted.
Due to the fact that we have this much flexibility, we are
open to meeting with Dr. Murphy's staff prior to any procurements.
This meeting should not delay approval to move forward with the
project as this would further reduce the Public Safety software
vendor's timeframe to convert PD to a new CAD and RMS system.
The following is a brief summary of CalState's technical staff
comments and the City's responses:
This RFP should have been released as a series of 4 or 5
Previously
separate requests.
Each time we go to Council in a government environment it
takes several months to complete the process. CAD and RMS are
largely being funded with grant funds that have to be expended
within a set time frame. CAD and RMS require a new backbone and
office automation has been waiting for replacement for 18 months.
We cannot afford to spread this project over a long timeframe.
The RFP names specific DEC equipment. This essentially
eliminates most of the competition, and circumvents the reason for
the bidding process.
Although specific equipment is listed in the RFP, the City
made it very clear that vendors could propose any brand of
equipment they felt would be best for the application (0. 3 . 8 of the
RFP) . For technical and support reasons we specified a single
vendor solution for the backbone. DEC equipment was specifically
specified by the CAD/RMS vendor. Our small MIS staff has developed
expertise with this platform. Remaining on this platform helps to
reduce transitional costs.
FDDI is obsolete. The City should be investing in either ATM
or 100BaseT, but preferably SONET.
The public safety environment requires technology that has
been used long enough to insure stability. 911 computer
applications must have a platform that guarantees continuous
operation and low maintenance. FDDI is stable, mature, proven
technology that is used by thousands of companies. FDDI provides
near 100% throughput unlike 100BaseT (which is not backbone
technology and degrades exponentially starting at about 30%
throughput) . ATM and SONET are good but expensive and are not
currently in widespread use in the public safety environment.
The RFP should mandate that all PC's have standard components
insuring computers can be board level upgraded and repaired on site
and cost of upgrades and repairs will be minimal.
The City has already stepped back from tier 1 manufacturer
requirement for PC's. We are still looking at alternatives, but
are not interested in low-level clones which, in our past
experience, have shown significant failure levels. The price on
the PC's we are currently negotiating fell again last week. What
we will actually pay will depend on when we buy.
There is a tendency for overkill - too much unnecessary
hardware, for example, firewall hardware $8000 (Why is there a RAID
system here?)
Two firewalls are necessary for our application because our
Police department houses extremely confidential criminal history
information and is an access point to State and Federal criminal
justice databases. The first firewall protects the City from the
Internet, the second firewall protects the law enforcement data
from non-Police personnel. RAID-5 is proposed as an inexpensive
insurance policy against excessive downtime.
Because this equipment will not be replaced for 7-10 years, we
must attempt to develop a platform that will meet our needs well
into the future.
Why do you need 160 MB of memory on a web server?
The City will house its official web site on this server. The
use of graphics will be extensive. Memory is an inexpensive way of
maximizing performance on this long term investment.
The cost of the T-1 Internet access is listed at $1800 per
month, EEE offers the same service for $1000.
EEE sets their rates for city government based on the
population. The last quote we received exceeded the GTE quote. GTE
has the highest capacity IP network in our area. The Internet
backbone is fully meshed, redundant, and power protected, yielding
99.9% network availability. GTE allows the City to have one vendor
providing both voice and data.
The unit price of $3140 for the Fujitsu laptops is absurdly
high.
These units are not laptop computers, they are handheld pen-
based computers, intentionally ruggedized for field use. The
hardware has a specific use and is the recommended device by the
software vendor who will be interfacing their software on this unit
with our permit tracking software.
Pentium-based servers vs. DEC Alphas
The City is open to looking at multi-processor Intel servers
for our office automation servers. This procurement allows the
City the flexibility to make further refinements to hardware and
software during the life of the project.
The City is already on a very tight schedule with deadlines we
must meet. However, after Council approval on Monday, MIS would be
happy to meet with Dr. Murphy. This meeting should take place next
week to avoid delays in procurement.

Mr Wilson,
Let me begin by saying that most of the technical
comments in our first document were authored by
Mr. Tonning and Dr. Karant who are both out of town
this weekend. I have therefore been unable to
consult with either of them in forming this reply.

While I cannot address problems associated with moving
proposals through city government, I have experience
authoring and evaluating RFPs - some involving multi-
million dollar projects. I have also sat at the opposite
Previously - # -11-711'97
' ' /y/0 7
2 c{'
end of the table in the early part of my career, having
participated in the authorship of proposals in response
to RFPs.
Based on this experience, I would be very surprised if
any vendor- with the exception of the Digital Equipment
Corp. (DEC) VAR- would waste their time to reply to such a
decidedly biased RFP. The problem is twofold : 1. Since
the equipment is specified using DEC product names, any
respondent to the RFP would have to become very familiar
with the technical specifications of that particular product.
(This is especially difficult with regard to the networking
equipment. In fact, we gave up trying to compare DEC's prices
with other comparable products) 2. The respondent must
justify the fact that the alternative equipment meets
the specifications of the DEC equipment. This puts an
additional burden on non-DEC VARs. The playing field is
not level, and the lack of a truly competitive
bidding environment will cost the City additional money.
My second concern is that, given the all-or-nothing aspect
of the RFP, leading networking corporations such as Cabletron
and Bay Networks are effectively excluded from submitting
bids in the areas that they excel - telecommunications.
It is not necessary to have DEC equipment to network DEC
computers! Furthermore, city businesses which could submit
proposals for portions of the RFP (such as the PCs), have
also been excluded since they don't deal in the sophisticated
network equipment.
Finally, I don't have a problem with the City continuing to
maintain it's legacy systems (CAD/RMS) with familiar equipment
and software. But most of the equipment specified in the RFP does
not fall under this category.
• FDDI is obsolete. The City should be investing in either ATM
• or 10OBaseT, but preferably SONET.

It is true that 10013aseT does not meet the performance achieved
by FDDI for increasing network saturation. However, this degradation
in performance (70-80 Mbits/sec versus 100 Mbits/sec.) can be
alleviated with the proper segmentation of the network.
It is an inexpensive alternative, and contrary to your statement
regarding "not backbone technology", the entire City Hall could be
quite nicely networked using this technology. Furthermore ATM
and SONET are proven and stable technologies, and to cite public
safety as a concern is misleading. FDDI was the technological
choice 3-4 years ago. It is now considered obsolete for new
installations. Has the City compared the cost of the proposed
FDDI equipment with that of an ATM or much preferably SONET
alternative?
• The RFP should mandate that all PC's have standard components

• we will actually pay will depend on when we buy.
In the past, one was never sure of the quality or compatibility
of the IBM clone and its' components. This has changed considerably
in the past two years to the point where the modular PC is preferable
to the "brand name" PC with proprietary equipment. Advances in PC
technology (e.g., Plug N' Play) now allow even the computer novice
to purchase and maintain a personal computer that is easily repairable
and upgradeable.
The price quote from EZ Computer($400-$500 per unit less than the DEC
quote) is not for a "low-level" clone. You will notice that each
component
of the PC is a listed "brand-name" quality part. Furthermore, the vendor
is a City business, and offers a full one-year warranty on parts and
labor
and a five-year warranty on labor.
The City's bidding process must be different than the State's. It is
mentioned
that you will pay less for the PCs than the amount bid. How much less?
If a State bid is accepted, and the contract signed, then the state is
40 Z
2`P
obligated to pay the amount bid. How is that different for the City?
Also, what is the current price for the DEC PC?
• Review of the Proposal by Spire Systems:
• =0D
• There is a tendency for overkill - too much unnecessary
• hardware,for example,firewall hardware $8000(Why is there a RAID
• system here?)
• =0D
• Two firewalls are necessary for our application because our

• Because this equipment will not be replaced for 7-10 years, we

The need for the firewalls is obvious. The question is implementation.
I cannot speak for my colleague who made these comments. However,
a few points: the RAID system will protect against disk failure
on the firewall, but other things (motherboard, network adapators)
will also fail. For the cost of the RAID system, you could probably
build a full "firewall clone" that would be available if any component
failed on the original. (In fact for the price - $8k-you could
probably get three!) Also, do you really think you will be using this
same equipment 7-8 years from now? (e.g., Do you know anyone using
a 386 PC for a firewall today? Of course not!)

• =0D
• The City will house its official web site on this server. The

This is a relatively insignificant point. But anyway, we have a
variety of Web servers in our department supporting streaming
audio and video; one supports over 20 virtual domains - most
of the academic departments on campus. The most memory in any
of these servers is 32 MB.

I find it hard to believe that the EEE would charge the City more
than it's business customers. In any event, check out Blue Highway.
They are a local company offering non-profit organizations T1 Internet
access for$645 per month. Normal business customers are $800/month. The
point is that a separate RFP for Internet provider should probably
be released. (Check Blue Highway's Web Site at http://www.blue-hwy.net.)
For the cost of one GTE T 1, you could multiplex two Blue Highway T 1 s
achieving more than twice the average throughput.

Review II of City of San Bernardino
Network Upgrade Plan
Preface
The RFP and the Proposal by Spire Systems were reviewed by Mr. Paul Tonning, Operating Systems
Analyst for the Department of Computer Science, Yasha Karant, Ph.D., Director of the Institute for
Applied Supercomputing, and Owen Murphy, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of Computer Science at
CSUSB. In addition, Dr. Murphy and Mr. Tonning met with Mr. Fred Wilson, the City's MIS Staff, and
with Captain Robert Curtis of the Police Department.
As mentioned in the previous review, the Department of Computer Science at CSUSB operates and
maintains its own Computer Facility which houses the Institute for Applied Supercomputing. This
facility includes over 120 Engineering Workstations along with 2 supercomputers, 3
mini-supercomputers, 5 fileservers, 4 webservers with streaming audio and video capabilities, E-Mail
Servers, Database servers and 32 dial-in modems. The facility is supported by network and Internet
connectivity including 1OBaseT, ATM, FDDI, and SONET. The department's network is often used by
telecommunications companies such as Cabletron and Fujitsu for pre-market testing of network
equipment.
The reviewers of this proposal are now aware of two serious problems that confront the City's MIS staff
that outweigh the technical and cost concerns that we expressed earlier. The first problem is the fact that
the MIS department is understaffed. This problem will be more apparent over the next few months as the
City moves from the centralized computing environment that now exists, to a much more complicated
distributed network environment. A technician assigned to support end-user software and hardware
technical problems will soon be needed, as "dumb" terminals are replaced with Pentium based
workstations. A network engineer devoted to maintaining and upgrading the City's telecommunication
infrastructure is desirable as well.
The MIS staff is dedicated and knowledgeable. They should be commended for the long hours they
work serving the City.
The second problem lies in the fact that large amounts of equipment are replaced every 7-8 years with
one-time funding proposals. This is an ineffectual hedge against rapid technological advancement that is
now part of society. A much more effective approach is to fund equipment replacement with an annual
budget. $500K per year over 8 years will achieve greater results than multi-million dollar one-time
expenditures since it will allow the City to keep its equipment relatively current with incremental
upgrades and replacement. It will also avoid the situation the City now faces where equipment is
hopelessly obsolete. (Hopeless in the sense that any upgrade or migration path opportunities have passed
years ago; most of the existing equipment must be completely replaced.) Without an annual equipment
budget, it is impossible to do any kind of planning to avoid such situations.

Review of the RFP
This proposal calls for a turn-key network using a single vendor DEC. Given the staffing and funding of
the MIS department coupled with the urgency to replace a failing obsolete CAD system, this is
apparently yhe only alternative. We suspect that the City administration is unaware of the major
technological leap that is being made here. Although the staff members we met are competent
professionals, they are by no means sufficient to provide the necessary support for this new network.
Therefore maintenance support from the vendor(especially in the Public Safety area) is mandatory.
We will address the three major areas of the RFP.
• Network
The City is extending an FDDI ring to support their new distributed computing environment at the
same time that CSUSB is replacing their FDDI backbone with ATM. Clearly, there are better
alternatives to the one proposed, but they involve a variety of computer and telecommunications
equipment from various companies. For example, the LAPD has a Cabletron network supporting
IBM, HP and SCO-Unix/Intel computer systems. However, without an on-site network engineer,
the City must rely on a single vendor to provide "cradle to grave" support for the CAD system.
Furthermore, the City cannot jeopardize the Police Department's grant money by delaying this
installation for further study.
• Computer Hardware
We cannot disagree with the decision to select a single vendor to support both the network and
major computer servers due to the lack of on-site staff which would be required to support
multiple platforms. The City can save considerable money by purchasing modular custom made
PCs as opposed to brand-name computers like DEC. The advantage of the clone PC (constructed
with brand-name components) is that these machines can be easily repaired and upgraded in-house
in addition to costing $300-$400 less. Proprietary systems (like the DEC PC) typically have
non-standard system boards which make repairs and upgrades difficult if not impossible.
The DEC PCs have a full 3 year warranty with the first year on-site. The custom made PCs
typically have a 1 year warranty (but not on-site). However, the components of the modular PC
will typically carry their own 3-5 year warranty. If the City decided to maintain and upgrade the
modular PCs on-site, the result would be better service and monetary savings. However, this
would be an additional burden on the MIS department. It should be noted however, that most
end-user problems associated with the use of a PC will be software and training related. Therefore,
on-site hardware related service provided by DEC will only be one aspect of the support that will
be required with this new network installation.
• Computer Software
The City can possibly save money on Microsoft software purchases by using special licensing
programs. For example, Microsoft offers Office 97 to government organizations who presently use
Wordperfect Software for only $145 per license as opposed to $288 per license quoted by Spire.
(This is significant since the City is purchasing over 400 licenses.) In addition, the government
price for MS Windows 95 is only $78 - not$159 as quoted by Spire. The MIS Department is
aware of these price differences, and these savings can be passed on to the City by Spire.
Conclusion
We will make no specific recommendation based on the technical merits and cost factors of this
proposal since these aspects are overshadowed by the following facts.
• The MIS department is not staffed to provide the technical support which would be required with
alternative plans.
• Without an annual equipment budget, incremental growth and expansion cannot be a
consideration.
• The public safety computer system is obsolete and failing. It must be replaced as soon as possible.
• There is some urgency with regard to the expenditure of funds related to the Police Department
grant. There is little time for alternative studies and proposals.
Finally, we strongly recommend that the City administration develop a strategic plan to address the
technological needs of our City government.
