Information Technology Department – GML104B
Contractor – Altice/Lightpath
Term – July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2021
Amount of Subscription – $132,000.00 annually
Account Number – 450-5303-100000-1620-B2319
(2019-2020 – District-wide Telephone Account – Local Funds)
Scope – The District is seeking to continue with the existing Internet Access Provider, Altice/Cablevision Lightpath, for an additional two years. Currently we subscribe to a single 10 gigabits per second (gbps) circuit which provides Internet access to all District locations. This resolution will continue the subscription to the existing circuit as well as install an additional 10gbps circuit at another District location, currently expected to be Yonkers Montessori Academy, giving us two 10gbps circuits that will provide Internet access throughout the District. Having two circuits will allow us to load balance the Internet traffic which in turn will provide faster response times to all of our schools. The monthly cost of the circuits is E-Rate eligible at a 90% (E-Rate portion - $118,800.00) discount, leaving the District’s share at 10% ($13,200.00). All of the applicable forms and applications will be filed accordingly. |

Resolution
|
WHEREAS the District is seeking to continue and upgrade our Internet access for all District locations, and,
WHEREAS the District currently subscribes to a single 10gbps Internet access circuit servicing all District locations, and,
WHEREAS the District’s Internet access is currently provided by Altice/Cablevision Lightpath via a 10 gigabit per second (gbps). Approval of this resolution would allow the District to continue with that circuit as well as install and activate a second 10gbps circuit at Yonkers Montessori Academy. The second circuit would give the District the ability to load balance the Internet traffic thereby providing faster response times in the schools. This service is eligible for E-Rate discounts at 90% leaving the District responsible for 10% of the monthly/annual costs. All applicable forms and applications will be filed accordingly for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Yonkers Public Schools issue a purchase order to Altice/Cablevision Lightpath, NYS Contract PS63855 in the amount of $132,000.00 for the annual cost of the two 10gbps circuits to provide the District’s Internet Access for the 2019-2020 school year. |
