Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Technology (DoT) has a need to continue services for data transport services, associated with Gigaman that provide and support citywide data connectivity and local telephones services for DoT, provided by AT&T, formerly known as SBC. Previously, the Purchasing Office had established a universal term contract (UTC) with SBC, to provide local telephone services, along with data and centrex services under contract CT09759, which expires 12/31/06.

DoT has a need to establish additional funding for services that will exceed $100, 000.00 in the current fiscal year. This funding, provided by this ordinance, in accordance with the terms and conditions established within the original contract, will cover charges associated with data connectivity services and local telephone services for the remainder of this year.

In compliance with Section 329.07(h)(1), this ordinance will enable the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Technology, to establish a purchase with AT&T for the aforementioned services.

CONTRAT COMPLIANCE: 36-3258076. They do not have MBE/FBE status.


FISCAL IMPACT: The Department of Technology expended $264,517.00 for Gigaman and local telephone services associated with funds and allocated for fiscal year 2004, with SBC. In fiscal year 2005, DoT expended an aggregate total of $281,535.05 for Gigaman and local telephone services with SBC. For the first four months of this year, the department expended a total of $41,572.28 for Gigaman and local telephone services. Adequate funding is available in the 2006 Department of Technology information services fund, in the amount of $80,000.00 for local telephone services, and $98,725.00 for services associated with Gigaman, with the aggregate total being $178,725.00 to cover services for the remainder of this year, with services provided by AT&T.
