Agenda Item Text:
Approve four Carrier Service Orders/Contracts (CSOs) with Qwest for telecommunication services including: four T1s, four Local Loops. Frame Relay and Point-to-Point.
Background:
OUR CURRENT CSOs, WHICH ARE SUPPLEMENTS TO THE STATE MASTER CONTRACT WITH QWEST, EXPIRE IN 2015.
THE SMC WITH QWEST EXPIRES JUNE 30, 2011. THE NEW SMC WITH QWEST WILL EXPIRE ON JUNE 30, 2014.
BECAUSE OUR CSOs EXPIRE AFTER THE SMC CONTRACT EXPIRES, WE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR E-RATE REIMBURSEMENT.
QWEST HAS ISSUED THE LIBRARY DISTRICT NEW CSOs WITH AN EXPIRATION DATE OF JUNE 30, 2014.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
THE LIBRARY DISTRICT WILL APPLY FOR E-RATE REIMBURSEMENT FOR 80% OF ALL TELECOMMUNICATION COSTS. THE DEADLINE FOR APPLYING IS MARCH 24, 2011.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
THE LIBRARY DISTRICT PAYS $22,226.00 ANNUALLY FOR QWEST SERVICES INCLUDING: 4 T1s = 6 MBPS, 4 LOCAL LOOPS, FRAME RELAY SWITCH AND POINT TO POINT.
THE DISCOUNT PERCENTAGE FOR OUR DISTRICT IS 80%. WE SHOULD SEE A REIMBURSEMENT OF $17,780.00.
ONCE THE CSOs ARE APPROVED I CAN FILE FOR THE E-RATE REIMBURSEMENT.
