Resolution - Information Technology: Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Contract 18193, with Unite Private Networks, to provide Secondary Business Internet Service connections for Citizens Tower and multiple City locations.

Item Summary

The 3-year agreement is to provide Secondary Business Internet Service connections for Citizens Tower and multiple City locations with an internet connection of 5 gigabits per second (Gbps) of bandwidth at a monthly cost of $1,998.  This will replace an existing circuit while increasing our overall bandwidth without an increase in cost. The purchase is made available through The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Contract 220105 - Technology Solutions, Products and Services Contract. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 271.083 authorizes local governments to acquire hardware, software, and other Information Technology products through the TIPS program. Pursuant to Texas Government Code Chapter 791.025, purchases from TIPS contracts meet competitive bid requirements.

The monthly payments will be paid over the course of the 3 years and will be budgeted in FY 2024-25 and 2025-26 Information Technology Operating Budgets.
