Explanation

BACKGROUND:

This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Technology, to establish a purchase order for the acquisition of fiber optic repair services associated with the Department of Technology's Metronet fiber optic backbone in the amount of $105,832.00. This purchase order will be created utilizing the terms and conditions from an existing Universal Term Contract (UTC), established through the competitive bid process by the Purchasing Office, with Echo 24 (FL004688, BPCMP33G- Expiration Date: 3/31/13).

The Department of Technology's Metronet Services provides data connectivity that supports various business functions and allows all city agencies and departments to communicate. Currently, the Department of Technology has a need to repair fiber optic cabling connecting the City of Columbus' Health Department at Bryden Alley and a repair at 5th and Olentangy that services the Ohio State University (OSU) area, Police Crime Lab, and the Franklin County Morgue. These repairs are necessary to ensure data connectivity at city facilities and prevent lengthy outages due to damaged fiber optic cabling.

Echo 24 will be providing repair services and associated materials through the Echo 24 UTC contract with the City of Columbus.

EMERGENCY: Emergency designation is requested to execute necessary repairs to the fiber optic cabling utilized citywide.


FISCAL IMPACT: In 2008 the Department of Technology legislated $91,646.00 and in 2009 $258,490.00 was legislated for Echo 24 services. This ordinance will allow for the expenditure of $105,832.00, for Metronet fiber optic repair services, utilizing an existing Universal Term Contract (UTC) with Echo 24. Funding for this project in the amount of $105,832.00 is available within the Department of Technology Information Services Fund.
