We have designed a system that will also give the City continuity of operations and <br />redundancy should a disaster take place. This contract will be like the current contract we have <br />with A TT for fiber and internet service. It is based on a 5 year term where we pay monthly <br />charges. <br /> <br />Managed Internet Service (MIS) with Voice over IP (VoIP) will help us get the most out of our <br />communication investment. The MIS Access Redundancy Option (MARO) and VolP can help to <br />ensure uninterrupted Internet access from dual paths. Private Transport Network and VolP run <br />with MIS at the core. MIS with VolP gives us choices for speed, network access, component <br />management, and network security. The service includes a dedicated network backbone, <br />industry-leading service level agreements, 24x7 customer support, technical assistance, <br />proactive monitoring, and network management tools. This solution can save time and money, <br />help us enhance your revenue growth potential and stay up and running to serve the citizens <br />during a disaster. <br /> <br />The additional funding for this project will come from the Technology Liability account. <br /> <br />Action Reouired bv Council: <br />Consider allowing the City manager to sign and execute new fiber and Opt-e-man contract for the City ITC building. <br /> <br />Approved for City Council Al!enda <br /> <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br /> <br />Date <br />
