DISCUSSION: Employees at most City of Fort Worth (City) 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 . Currently the City relies heavily on a single telecommunications provider for services obtained through a Texas state agreement. Staff is recommending increased use of a second provider to help ensure the city can obtain the lowest cost service available for any given site. The use of a second provider may also increase the potential resiliency of the network when service interruptions are experienced by a single provide r. Staff will utilize this agreement to obtain telecommunications services for new City locations when these services are more cost effective than those offered by the City's existing provider. In addition , existing services to City locations may be replaced by this provider if a cost reduction can be realized. Except for services required for new locations , the City's overall costs for telecommunications services should not increase . This M&C , however, will allow staff to obtain a larger portion of those services from a lower-cost provider with the intent of utlimately reducing overall costs . TW Telecom Holdings Inc., (TWT) is currently providing an alternate internet service at the City's Eagle Mountain site . Staff recommends the execution of an annual service agreement with TWT to potentially provide services at other City sites to prov ide the redundancy and cost advantages required by the City's internal network. State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a General Services Administration (GSA) contract satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item . GSA contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simpl ify the purchasing power of local government entities . http://apps.cfwn et.org/cound l_pad(etfmc_review .asp?ID =l383S&coond ld ate=S/3/2011 (1 of 2) [5/4/2011 12 :13:20 PM ] M&C Review M/WBE -A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Department and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods and services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible . AGREEMENT TERMS -This agreement shall begin upon execution and expire three years from that date . RENEWAL OPTIONS -This agreement may be renewed for one additional year in accordance with the terms of the GSA Contract. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obl igation during the renewal term. 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 .
