At the City Council Meeting held November 21, 2000, it was recommended
that an Equipment Purchase Contract with Anicom Metromedia Wiring
Systems (AMWS) be approved and a Resolution adopted authorizing the
purchase of fiber optic cable. However, AMWS could not deliver on
time and another vendor was found whom could provide the necessary
fiber optic cable in the time required.
It is hereby recommended that at this time Resolution No. 7674 which
authorized the purchase and approved the Equipment Purchase Contract
with Anicom Multimedia Wiring Systems, Inc., be rescinded.
Very truly yours,

On November 21, 2000, the City Council of the City of
Vernon approved a contract with Anicom Multimedia Wiring
Systems, Inc. ("Anicom") in connection with the purchase of
fiber optic cable. Anicom advised us that same day that the
shipment of fiber optic cable that they agreed to sell us was
not provided by the manufacturer.At the time, I did not know
what had happened to the fiber optic cable. Further, the
Utilities Department had advised me that there was a very
limited supply of fiber optic cable and that they were concerned
about being able to replace that cable. In order to protect the
City's rights in the event we are not able to find replacement
fiber optic 'cable, or if we found out that Anicom had actually
sold the fiber optic cable to another purchaser for a higher
price, I recommend approval by the City Council.
Subsequently,` "the Utilities Department advised that
they were able to locate fiber optic cable. The City Council
approveda contract for the purchase of that cable on December
Bruce V. Malkenhorst
' December 27, 2000
Page 2
5, 2000 with Communications Supply Corporation. The cost of the
cable is lower than that which was to be purchased from Anicom.
Because we have been able to replace the cable, I
recommend that the City Council now proceed to rescind the
Anicom contract. I will prepare a resolution for the rescission
for the next City Council Meeting on January 2, 2000.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Very truly yoursZ7- ,
