Authorization
REQUEST: The Information Services Department requests the Commission
approve the additional expenditure of $15,000 to connect to the
Seminole County Fiber Optic Network.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this item is to gain City Commission approval for the expenditure
of $15,000 to connect the City's two existing Networks by connecting to the
existing Seminole County Fiber Optic Network. This will give the City
connectivity between the City Hall network and the Police/Fire/Public Works
network and will finish off the City's Wide Area Network Project.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The City has end-equipment in place at City Hall and the Police Department to
connect the two sites for data. However, the City does not have the fiber or T-1
lines in place between City Hall and the Police Department to physically connect
the two sites. The phone system will go on this fiber at a later date and will enable
us to discontinue leasing T-1 lines from BellSouth at a rate of about $1400 per
month for each T-1line. Seminole County has a Fiber Optic Network in place
and is currently expanding it to go past City Hall on State Rd 434, past Moss Rd.
The County is willing to give the City 4 strands of multi-mode and 2 strands of
single-mode fiber to help us complete our data network. This is a cheaper
alternative than installing our own fiber for the whole run down State Rd 434.
The estimated cost for the two connections is $15,000.
FUNDING:
Funding to come from General Fund Reserves.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Commission approve the expenditure to expedite
completion of data network project.
