SERVICE AGREEMENT
NO
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Service Agreement for Telecommunications Services with TW
Telecom Holdings Inc., for the Information Technology Solutions Department at an Annual
Cost Not to Exceed $500,000 .00
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with TW
Telecom Holdings Inc., to provide telecommunications services at multiple City of Fort Worth sites for the
Information Technology Solutions Department using General Services Administration Contract number GS-
35F-0426R at an annual cost not to exceed $500 ,000.00.
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
provider.
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 provide 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 simplify the purchasing power of
local government entities.

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 obligation 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.
