DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – AT&T CONTRACT #003394 EXTENSION FOR LEASED ISDN AND T -1 DATA CIRCUITS VENDOR THROUGH 2018 The IT Depa rtment is seeking approval of the extension of the current AT&T five-year contract for two additional years. This original contract was competitively bid. The older technology of copper- based T-1 lines is being replaced by new lines. The cost to upgrade from the old lines is $319,000 per month, adding up to about $3.8 million annually. A total of $1.8 million of the yearly cost will be billed to the local communities. The contract can be continued for a two-year extension under the same pricing. A contract for the new technology was competitively bid and is currently being negotiated. It will take approximately two years to convert to the new fiber optic lines . Mr. Bertolini mentioned that another governmental entity missed the deadline and AT&T charged an additional quarter of a million dollars to be repaid. A brief discussion was held. Taub moved to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Fleming. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
