Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to establish a blanket purchase order for Cellular Telephone services for various divisions within the Department of Public Utilities with Sprint Solutions.

Cellular phones are used by various personnel within the Department of Public Utilities relative to their job duties. The funding requested from this legislation is being established to pay for charges through the Fiscal Year 2007. All services will be in accordance with an established Universal Term Contract on file in the Purchasing Office with Sprint Solutions (FL003029). The contract expires December 31, 2009.

Supplier: Sprint Solutions (47-0882463)

Fiscal Impact: $125,700.00 is needed for Fiscal Year 2007 and is being allocated from various funds within the Department of Public Utilities.

Until June of 2006, each division within the Department of Public Utilities funded their own cellular service. In June of 2006, the invoices were centralized in the department's Fiscal Office such that a master invoice for the entire department was created. Personnel in the Division of Water switched from Cigular to Nextel in early 2006 and additional personnel in DOS were given phones.

$55,578.77 was spent in 2005.
$106,211.69 was spent in 2006 - Includes Department of Operational Services
