Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Technology to modify an existing agreement with The Fishel Company for fiber maintenance and restoration services of the City’s fiber optic infrastructure by adding $287,000.00.
On June 10, 2019, Ordinance 1441-2019 authorized the Director of the Department of Technology to renew a contract with the Fishel Company, in the amount of $315,833.68, for maintenance and restoration services in support of the City’s fiber optic infrastructure. On June 1, 2020, Ordinance 1204-2020 extended the above-noted contract through May 21, 2021. The Department of Technology wishes to add $287,000.00 to this contract to ensure adequate coverage for unanticipated restoration needs, as required by OUPS (Ohio Utilities Protection Service).
