SUBJECT:
Requesting approval to renew the agreement with AT&T for contracts that will expire in the amount of $36,584.24.
PURPOSE:
Attached are the following contracts that will expire and need to be renewed. These contracts establish costs providing for our city telephone users calling into the Public Switched Telephone Network.
BACKGROUND:
The contract COMPLETELINK 2.0 replaces the former MDA (Master Discount Agreement) that will expire on 10-04-2019. The new contract term is for 24 months and will cover intrastate BAND A, B & C.
The second contract is the HVCP (High Volume Calling Plan). This is for Long Distance service rates. The current contract will expire on 10-04-2019. The new contract term for this one is 24 months.
DISCUSSION:
The funds are budgeted each year in account 101-1380-419.44-01 (2019 budget is $99,500.00). The vendor has no outstanding debt with the City.
AT & T is sole source because it is the only provider that provides necessary service to the Public Switched Telephone Network. Contracts have been in place since 2010 and it is most beneficial to our city to have these renewed.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
These governmental contracts offer the city a substantial discount, without renewing, our costs increase 10 times our discounted rates.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
