Report
Summary
This contract provides the City with cabling communication services to maintain connections of City facilities to the data network and phone system through Internet access, phone lines, and data circuits, which allows City facilities to connect to email and instant messaging and to access critical applications, such as the City's financial accounting and reporting system and the human resources system. The City's cabling communication systems are critical to operations of City departments. Cabling communications systems enable access to emergency services provided by the Police and Fire departments, provide internet access in public libraries, allow the Parks and Recreation Department to manage sprinkler systems in City parks, allow the Street Transportation Department to manage traffic signals and lights throughout the City, and facilitate several other important City services. Without the cabling communication systems, users and devices will not be able to connect to their network and/or back-end systems for operations.
Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on October 1, 2027, with a one-year option to extend.
Financial Impact
The aggregate value of the nine contracts previously authorized by Ordinance S-50747 remains unchanged and will not exceed $17,500,000. No additional funds are needed.
