Agenda Item

a. Mitel Phone System Annual Maintenance (Not to exceed $273,889.75)

Summary: Presented by: Ms. Monika T. Davis, Chief Information Officer, Division of Information and Instructional Technology
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the maintenance renewal of the Mitel Digital IP Phone System with Layer3 Communications at a cost not to exceed $273,889.75.
Why: The purpose of the Annual Mitel maintenance renewal is to provide coverage for the DCSD Mitel Phone System and associated components and licenses that were acquired under RFP 17-21: District-Wide Unified Communications System and Services. The DCSD Mitel phone system acts as the backbone for internal and external communication and is a critical part of security for the School District.
Details: DCSD concluded the installation of the IP-based Mitel Phone System in March 2021. This project allowed the District to dispose of the majority of the district's Plain Old Telephone lines (POTS), long-distance service, and costly PRI lines.

As part of RFP 17-21 District-Wide Unified Communications System and Services, maintenance of the phone system and related infrastructure components was included for five years. Implementation of this project started in April 2018.

This agenda item is requesting to purchase the annual maintenance services.

Mitel System Annual Maintenance Includes:


Maintenance of all DCSD Mitel site-based Phone Controllers (194) and licenses
Maintenance on 4 Telecom Infrastructure Switches
Priority Maintenance and 24/7 Monitoring (With escalation to Mitel when needed) on 15 Distributed Voice Services Servers



In addition to the maintenance, security updates will also be performed and managed.

In accordance with Board of Education Purchasing Policy DJE III.D.3.d. The Purchasing Department shall be authorized to make purchases through inter-governmental and educational cooperatives, alliances, and consortiums to achieve cost savings and administrative efficiencies based on economies of scale. Therefore, this purchase will utilize the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreement #022719-MBS.
