REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 5/22/2006 Item No: 3.e Department Approval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: � �� L�� �. — C�c. r,s�:na Item Description: Authorize a Fiber Optic Purchase and InstallationAgreement Between the City of Roseville and Access Cotnn�u�zcatiatas Inc. Background At the 11/28/OS City Council meeting, the Council authorized Staff to move forward on establishing a City-owned fiber optic network. The proposed initial segment would run along Trunk Highway 36 from Rice Street to Snelling, and would be jointly installed, and paid for, by Independent School District �� (NE Metro). This segment provides the City with a major east-west route to eventually connect multiple City facilities and other access points. Over the past several months, City Staff along with representatives from ISD �� have been in discussions with Access Communications Inc., a State bid-approved contractor specializing in the installation and maintenance of fiber optic networks. A tentative agreement to install and maintain this initial segment has been reached between the City and Access Corporation. A copy is includedinAttachmentA. Discussion Points At the 11/28/OS City Council meeting, the Council authorized trp to $140,000 for the installation of this fiber segment. As a result of the negotiations, the Agreement calls for an initial payment of $$7.$OQ, plus annual maintenance payments of �.�.�� each year for the next 10 years. The present value of the total cash outlay per this Agreement will be $�99D. The maintenance component will cover all locates, and fiber repairs. Based on Staffs projections, we believe that this maintenance charge is comparable to what we would pay to hire an independent contractor to do this work. Pending approval of the Agreement, Installation of this fiber segment is expected to be completed by September 30,2006. The Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney with no further suggestions for modifications.
