RFP-JG-102014 - Citywide Telecommunications System Replacement

Summary of Specifications:
The City of Ferndale (“City”) is seeking proposals for a City-wide, Multi-location, Telecommunications System based on modern Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies, platforms and services. Your proposal should specify a currently available and deployed VoIP solution that would replace the City's installed Analog Nortel BCM450 business telephone system. During a recent regional flood event, the City of Ferndale’s primary Nortel Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system was damaged. Replacing this system with VoIP is sensible because PRI/BRI based PBX technology is unsustainable due to high cost of ownership and end of product life scenarios for these legacy systems, as is the case with the City’s existing telecommunication system.
