Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Crosslink Networks to provide high speed gigabit internet service to City Hall and other City facilities. The contract is valued at $93,600.00 over three years.
BACKGROUND
The City of San Leandro recently upgraded its core internet architecture to support a 10 gigabit aggregated internet connection using the Lit San Leandro fiber network. This contract will provide the gigabit internet service for that architecture, as planned.
Analysis
City staff recently completed a project to upgrade the City’s core internet architecture to support a 10 gigabit connection using the Lit San Leandro fiber network. The proposed contract provides the City with a 10 gigabit internet connection at City Hall, which will be utilized by all other City facilities.
The City has been in contract with AT&T for a 40 Mbps connection at City Hall, Crosslink for a connection at the Main Library and Police Department, and Comcast for connections at City Hall and the Senior Center. The total combined monthly cost of all of these contracts is approximately $3,700.00
These connections will now be aggregated into the centralized 10 gigabit port at City Hall provided by Crosslink Networks. As a result, the other service contracts can be terminated, representing an approximate monthly savings of 30% while increasing overall bandwidth speed several times over.
Crosslink Networks was the first approved internet service provider on the Lit San Leandro fiber network and is headquartered in San Leandro.
