SUBJECT:

Action Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Spectrum Enterprise to Provide Internet Connection Services to the City Hall and the Depot Building




BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On August 20, 2019, City Council authorized an agreement with Spectrum Enterprise to provide internet connection service to the Depot building. The authorization failed to include the costs for connection of the services to City Hall or the monthly charges for city hall service.

 

The services will provide for the installation of the required facilities for a one-time fee of $250.00 each for City Hall and the Depot building and monthly fees of $498.00 each for City Hall and the Depot building. The term of the agreement is for thirty-six (36) months. The facilities will provide a 50 MBPS optical ETHR Internet point to point connection.



FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The total financial impact will be $36,356.00 over the life of the agreement. Funds will come from the IT budget under telephone expenses 01-6850-14-00.



RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that:

1. City Council rescind its action of August 20, 2019 authorizing an agreement with Spectrum Enterprise, and

2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Spectrum Enterprise, as described above, to Provide Internet Connection Services between City Hall and the Depot building.
