DISCUSSION• Employees at most City of Fort Worth sites are provided access to information systems and resources via the City's data network. This network provides the connectivity required for computers and workstations at remote sites to access computing systems in the City Hall data center. At most sites outside the downtown area, a key component of this connectivity is one or more telecommunications circuits provided by a public carrier. This Contract will provide for a high speed optical fiber telecommunications circuit from City Hall to the Fort Worth Police Department Crime Lab facy. This VW enable network connectivity into the City's existing telecommunications infrastructure, internet access as well as adequate capacity for video and other similar emerging technologies. The cost of this telecommunications facility through TW Telecom Holdings, Inc., is less than other alternatives. The IT Sourcing Initiative will have no significant impact on this telecommunications service as it is already outsourced. The E-Government Act of 2002 authorized General Services Administration (GSA) sales of technology products and services to state and local governments. Procuring goods and services through this cooperative purchasing program satisfies otherwise applicable competitive bid requirements. M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting was requested by the Information Technology Solutions Department and approved by M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services are from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Information Systems Fund. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=13140&councildate=3/23/2010 (1 of 2) [3/24/2010 9:15:14 AM] M&C Reviev=' WiLailik • •-• - -.•, Additional Information Contact: PI60 535080 0046002 Kareri Montgomery (6222) Peter Anderson (8781I Steve Streiffert (2221) 43 ODUM http://apps.cfwnet.org/council packet/mc_review.asp?ID=13140&councildate=3/23/Z010 (2 of 2) [3/24/2010 9:15:14 AM]
