| | | | | | | | Additional Background/Other Considerations:
| Contract modifications are signed by Contractor and County Attorney’s Office and is attached.
These contracts will allow the County to maintain and expand the fiber network. It also provides for repairs to wiring in county buildings and adding capacity when required for additional county employees in an office. This contract updates and clarifies provisions of the contract currently being utilized. Awarding this contract to multiple vendors will help to keep the pricing competitive and give the County a fall back option. |
|
| | | | | | | | Consequence of Denial/Inaction:
| Failure to approve this contract will jeopardize the public safety connection from the 911 center to the radio towers should repairs become necessary. The county would be unable to add phone or data drops in offices that require them in the future. Plans to fiber connect additional county facilities such as fire stations would halt. |
