PURPOSE
Requesting City Council approval of a formal solicitation for the Fiber Installation Project to the most responsive and responsible bidder, and approving the resolution giving the Mayor authority to sign the contract. Municipal Code Section 3.08.090, ". . . . All bids and proposals in excess of $50,000 shall be awarded through formal written procedures by the city council."
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the fiber installation is to update and add reliable communications to critical City infrastructure. It is also to comply with the current City Partners agreement (Adams County and Adcom 911) and to develop an IGA.
We currently do not hold an IGA with either Adams County or Adcom 911 due to the fact that we do not meet their specifications. This Fiber Project will allow the City to be compliant with their requirements.
Along with fulfilling our obligations we will also be connecting critical City infrastructure that will allow us to monitor assets more in depth.
The Utilities department will be picking up the projects that will connect our north water tanks, our wells at Beebe Draw, along with several other wells and lift stations around the City. This new communication will allow us to monitor things more in depth and add future security to the sites.
