OPT-E-MANis a cost effective service that gives the City the ability to increase <br />bandwidth as needed to support multiple applications at one time(see attached Product <br />Description).The City has a Master Service Agreement (#135688UA)in place with AT&T, <br />which waslast renewed on January 5, 2010. The current Pricing Schedule for the OPT-E-MAN <br />service was signed on March 30, 2007for a term of sixty (60) months.The proposed renewal <br />agreement maintains the same pricing that has been in place for five (5) years. <br />This service allows the City to have buried fiber,which is more reliable than aerial fiber. It also <br />allowsfor greater redundancy with regard to disaster management efforts. Without the OPT-E- <br />MAN service, the City would have to rely on a much slower and more vulnerable operating <br />system. The term of this agreement will be for five (5) years, with a monthly charge of <br />$13,018.50(See attached Pricing Schedule). <br />Staff recommends approval of a renewal agreement with AT&T to continue OPT-E-MAN <br />services for the City. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action of a renewalagreement with AT&T for OPT-E-MANservices. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Corby D.
