Report
Summary
This contract provides copper and fiber telecommunication supplies to support the City's infrastructure, including the public safety network, and to maintain voice and data communications for over 70 sites across multiple cities for the Regional Wireless Cooperative. Failure to maintain equipment and parts for voice and data communications would create a loss of productivity and liability in meeting the City's public safety requirements.
Financial Impact
With the $320,000 in additional funds, the contract's revised aggregate value is now $770,000. Funds are available in the Information Technology Services Department's operating budget.
