RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> It is recommended to replace the current 16 Wort controller with <br /> a 32 port controller. Although the intent of this project was to <br /> acquire another controller for the MVR Kona Office, due to the <br /> close proximity of the offices the rationale of having separate <br /> controllers for MVR and RPT does not help justify the costs <br /> involved to implement this. <br /> It is recommended the County of Hawaii pursues the use of frame <br /> relay communications. This memo addresses the future use of <br /> frame relay in its justification of staying with one controller <br /> in Kona. Frame relay should be implemented after a <br /> telecommunications plan is developed for the County Departments <br /> and Agencies. <br /> JUSTIFICATIONS: <br /> I_ Cost factors: Acquiring a 32 port controller has a lower one <br /> time cost and recurring annual cost. <br /> <br /> All costs shown are estimates. <br /> Existing controller: <br /> <br /> Annual on-site IBM Maintenance: $362.50 <br /> Replacing existing 16 port controller with 32 port controller: <br /> 'Refurbished' Controller/Multiplexor: $1,500.00 (with software) <br /> Shipping/Installation/Configuration: 1,450.00 (minimum) <br /> Revised Annual on-site IBM Maintenance: 416.00 <br /> (replaces current cost) <br /> Total one time cost of $2,950.00; recurring annual cost of <br /> $416.00 for 32 port controller. <br /> <br /> Acquiring another 16 port controller: <br /> 'Refurbished' Controller: $ 650.0'0 (with software) <br /> Shipping/Installation/Configuration: 1,450.00 (minimum) <br /> <br /> Annual on-site IBM Maintenance: 588.00 <br /> (for new/old controllers) <br /> New phone line/modem installation: 675.00 <br /> New compatible modem: 895.00 <br /> Additional annual phone line charge: 378.00 <br /> Total one time cost of $3,670.00; recurring annual costs of <br /> $966.00 for two 16 port controllers and additional phone line. <br /> <br />
