The quote includes a Catalyst 3560 48 -port switch <br />at a cost of $3702.15 and a GE transceiver at a cost of $567.15 for a total of $4269.30. <br />The quote also specified a SMARTNET board, but the Roseville network engineers did <br />not feel that item was necessary . <br />Not included in this quote are sales (or use) tax, estimated at $283.91 (6.65% in Hennepin <br />County) and shipping costs. <br />Based on the above, staff recommends Council approval for up to $4650 for the purchase <br />of a network switch. <br />2 <br />
