ITEM SUMMARY:
The City currently uses Comcast Business for internet and network connectivity at several City facilities. Comcast
has provided updated service agreements associated with the renewal and modification of these services.
The proposed agreements include the following:
509 Church Street: Renewal of Comcast Business Internet Essential service, providing download speeds of up to
150 Mbps, for a 36-month term. The proposed monthly service charge is $127.90, with a one-time charge of
$79.95.
412 Blakely Street: Renewal of Comcast Business Internet Essential service, providing download speeds of up to
150 Mbps, for a 36-month term. The proposed monthly service charge is $127.90, with a one-time charge of
$39.95.
Enterprise/Fiber Services: Renewal and modification of the City's Comcast Enterprise Services for a 24-month
term. The changes include renewal of existing network connectivity, an upgrade of Ethernet Dedicated Internet
service from 100 Mbps to 200 Mbps, and the addition of a /28 static IPv4 address block.
The proposed Enterprise Services agreement increases recurring costs by $229.95 per month, or approximately
$2,759 annually, compared with the existing service and equipment charges identified by Comcast. The additional
network capacity will assist with the City's expanded use of technology across municipal operations, including
increased reliance on cloud-based applications, connected systems, and other technology-dependent services.
Based on the stated monthly and one-time charges, the total value of the proposed Comcast agreements is
approximately $44,600 over their respective 24- and 36-month terms, exclusive of applicable taxes, fees,
surcharges, maintenance, repair costs, or other charges that may apply.
The agreements become binding upon execution by an authorized representative of the City. Staff is requesting
authorization for the City Administrator to execute the service orders and related documents necessary to
implement the proposed changes.
Fiscal Impact
Funding for Comcast telecommunications and internet services is included within the City's applicable operating
budgets. The proposed agreements establish recurring service costs for terms of 24 and 36 months, depending on
the service location.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Staff recommends that the Finance Committee recommend to the City Council authorization for the City
Administrator to execute Comcast Business service agreements and related documents for the renewal and
upgrade of internet and network services at various City facilities.
