1. Introduction
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the network redesign and infrastructure improvement project for the
City of Ukiah. The work will be conducted by Ryan Jackson in a consulting capacity. The City IT department will
be responsible for acquiring all necessary equipment. This document details the scope, objectives, deliverables,
and responsibilities associated with this engagement.
2. Objectives
The primary objectives of this project are:
Enhance security by routing all network traffic through the Palo Alto 880 Firewall.
Modernize network infrastructure by replacing end-of-life equipment.
Improve network segmentation and redundancy for reliability and security.
Implement industry best practices where feasible.
Standardize network configurations for consistency and ease of management.
Upgrade wireless infrastructure with the vendor of choice.
3. Scope of Work
3.1 Critical Tasks
3.1.1 Network Flow Modification
Transition from a Distribution/Core network design to a modified architecture.
Ensure all network traffic is routed through the Palo Alto 880 Firewall to utilize features such as:
o Antivirus
o Monitoring
o Wildfire threat intelligence
o Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS)
3.1.2 AT&T Connection Reconfiguration
Reconfigure AT&T connection to flow directly into the Palo Alto 880 Firewall instead of the Main
Distribution Frame (MDF) access-level switch.
Ensure proper routing from the firewall to the Distribution Switch in the Server Room.
10
3.1.3 Switch Replacement
Replace 12-15 end-of-life switches. (Potentially all switches pending board approval)
Replace Distribution Stack with 9300-series switches already in stock.
Move access-level connections off the Distribution Stack onto a dedicated access-level switch in the
Server Room.
3.1.4 Standardization of Switch Configuration
Implement industry best practices for switch configurations, including:
o 802.1x authentication for VLAN assignment (requires new RADIUS server).
o Port security to prevent cyber threats such as DHCP/DNS poisoning.
o VLAN segmentation considerations while maintaining deployment feasibility.
3.1.5 Wireless Infrastructure Upgrade
Assist with deployment of a new wireless infrastructure as per the vendor selected by the City.
3.1.6 Logical Segmentation for Police Department and City Networks
Ensure complete logical separation between Police Department and City Networks using Palo Alto 880
Firewall, other than where absolutely needed for connectivity or functionality.
3.1.7 Firewall Replacement
Replace Cisco firewalls with currently supported models.
Upgrade Department of Justice Firewall and firewalls at North/South Fire Stations (End of Life 2026).
3.2 High Priority Tasks
3.2.1 Server Rack Rewiring and Cleanup
Remove deprecated equipment.
Re-cable main server rack as needed.
3.2.2 MDF Rack Removal & Fiber Network Integration
The MDF removal should only be accomplished after the new fiber project is complete to ensure a seamless
transition and prevent disruption. Relocating the MDF to the Server Room will provide centralized network
management, improved security, and easier maintenance for IT personnel, reducing operational complexity
and improving overall network efficiency.
Once the fiber network deployment is complete:
11
Remove the existing MDF rack.
Reroute all MDF connections to the Vault Room, designated as the new MDF location.
The MDF removal should only be accomplished after the new fiber project is complete to ensure a
seamless transition and prevent disruption.
Justification: Relocating the MDF to the Server Room will provide centralized network management,
improved security, and easier maintenance for IT personnel, reducing operational complexity and
improving overall network efficiency.
Post-fiber network deployment, remove the existing MDF rack.
Reroute all MDF connections to the Vault Room, designated as the new MDF location.
3.2.3 Network Re-Route for Police Department and SW-HR
Re-route existing Police Department network connections to the Server Room.
Re-route SW-HR (Finance Department switch) connections to the Server Room.
Legacy Equipment to be Removed as Part of MDF Rack Removal
T1 Router
AT&T Spoke Network Router
Mitel equipment
3.2.3 Redundancy and Failover Configuration
Implement redundancy in network routes to ensure continued city network operation.
Establish failover configurations for off-site tunneling.
3.3 Medium Priority Tasks
3.3.1 VLAN and IP Scheme Standardization
Standardize VLAN definitions across all sites.
Adopt the IP scheme format: 10.[Site].[VLAN].[Node]
o Example: VLAN 4 for users, VLAN 7 for printers, VLAN 10 for servers, etc.
o The second octet denotes the site, the third octet represents VLAN/purpose, and the fourth
octet identifies the specific node.
3.3.2 Network Cabinet Organization
Clean up network cabinets for better cable management.
If necessary, relocate racks (e.g., SW-HR) for improved organization. If required, the City will be
responsible for relocating the rack, while the consultant will assist with network reconfiguration and
reconnections.
12
3.3.3 Migration to Starlink for Select Sites
Transition sites currently using T1/AT&T spoke networks to Starlink where applicable. This may include
configuration of switches, routers, firewalls, and tunnels as needed to ensure proper network
functionality and connectivity.
3.4 Other Tasks per Request of the City of Ukiah IT
The consultant may perform additional IT-related tasks as requested by the City of Ukiah IT
Department. These tasks will be scoped and approved prior to commencement and may include, but
are not limited to, infrastructure changes, troubleshooting, configuration updates, and support beyond
the predefined items in this scope.
