Report
Summary
These contracts will provide equipment, installation, testing, and warranty of cabling. Cabling communication systems connect City facilities to the data network and phone system through Internet access, phone lines, and data circuits, allowing connection to email and instant messaging, and access to critical applications such as the City's financial accounting and reporting system and the human resources system. Cabling communication systems enable access to emergency services provided by the Police and Fire Departments, provide public and employee Wi-Fi, critical network infrastructure at Sky Harbor International Airport, and telephone and network services in all City facilities. Without the cabling communication systems, users and devices will not be able to connect to their network and/or back-end systems for operations. The City's cabling communication systems are critical to operations of City departments.
Contract Term
Upon approval the contracts will be extended through April 9, 2024 with an option to extend through Oct. 9, 2024.
Financial Impact
The aggregate value of the contracts will not exceed $20.7 million and no additional funds are needed.
