TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract, and any necessary amendments, with Verizon Business Network Services, Inc., to provide local and long distance telephone, data communications, and internet services, in an annual amount not to exceed $1,000,000, for a period of one year, with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods, at the discretion of the City Manager. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
On March 20, 2018, the City Council approved the adoption of a Resolution to enter into a contract with Verizon Business Network Services, Inc. (Verizon Business), to provide local and long distance telephone, data communications, and internet services, in an annual amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for a one-year period, with the option to renew for two one-year periods (Attachment). While this action was approved by the City Council, the Resolution was inadvertently omitted and thus not adopted. Therefore, City Council action is now requested to adopt the attached Resolution, so that a contract with Verizon Business can be executed.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Amy R. Webber and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on March 28, 2018.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on April 17, 2018, to ensure the City’s intended contract with Verizon Business can be executed in a timely manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total annual cost of the agreement is not to exceed $1,000,000, and is appropriated in the General Services Fund (IS 385) in the Technology and Innovation Department (TI). There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
