3 $ Page 2 The following proposed applications that are in common for the two telephone vendors: Wirin - for voice and data applications, i.e. telephones and computers. It can be installed in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ducts. This cabling is capable of supporting changing/upgrading technology to varying degrees, depending on the vendor's recommendation. Voice Mail. Direct Inward Dial that allows calls to ring directly to an individual, bypassing the receptionist. Customer Training; Additional Training as needed. Remote Maintenance. ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Networking. Allows for the upgrading to future telecommunications technologies. Automated Attendant Service (part of the Voice Mail system) - Provides separated menus/messages for day, night, and events. In speaking with Liz Herrmann of Williams/O'Brien about the reason why this wasn't originally part of the contract, she recollected a few reasons. She said that the one reason that stands out in her memory was that the school district's technology package includes wiring and cabling for the Community Services portion of the new building. • Recommendation: I would recommend Apollo Communications as providers of the telephone equipment because the Fujitsu Series 3 telephone system has features that would very useful and efficient in providing service to residents and non-residents. This is true of the basic design of the telephone itself as well as the technological capabilities. I would also recommend having Wunderlich and Malec Eng., Inc. provide the wiring and cabling because of the close working relationship that they have with Williams/O'Brien, they understand the needs and requirements of the new City Hall/Community Services facility. These are personal recommendations based on the discussions at various meetings that I had with each of these vendors. I understand that the final selection will be as the result of a bidding process. Wally Sharp of Wunderlich and Malec Eng., Inc. indicated that RFP's should go out in May with the actual wiring and cabling ready for installation sometime in late August or September.
