Rationale:

Information Technology Department – GML104B
Contractor – Crown Castle Fiber (Formerly Fibertech)
Term – July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020
Amount of Subscription – $61,830.00
Account Number – 450-5303-100000-1620-B2319
(2019-2020 – District-wide Telephone Account – Local Funds)
Scope – In June 2014, the Board of Trustees approved Board Report 19.2 for the purpose of upgrading the District’s Fiber Wide Area Network, from 1 gigabit per second (gbps) WAN links to dual 10gbps WAN Links from each District site converging back to the District’s Data Center. The resolution approved a 5 year term, which would have originally expired in June 2019. However due to the lengthy construction process the circuits were not handed over to the District until July 2015 and billing for the circuits began in August 2015. That being said the 5 year term would bring us to June 30, 2020. This resolution will extend the term through June 2020 and the monthly cost of the WAN is E-Rate eligible at a 90% discount, leaving the District’s share at 10%. All of the applicable forms and applications will be filed accordingly.

Resolution:
|
WHEREAS the District is seeking to amend Board Report 19.2 dated July 18, 2014 for the District’s Wide Area Network, and,
WHEREAS the amendment would extend the term through June 30, 2020 as a result of a lengthy construction process, and,
WHEREAS the District did not start receiving bills from the service provider until August 2015, after nearly one year of building the WAN. The WAN provides each school with two 10gbps circuits which converge in the district’s Data Center. The WAN is E-Rate eligible at a 90% discount leaving the District responsible for the remaining 10%. All applicable forms and applications will be filed accordingly for the 2019-2020 school year.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the Yonkers Public Schools issue a purchase order to Crown Castle Fiber (formerly Fibertech Inc.) in the amount of $61,830.00 for the annual cost of the District’s Fiber WAN for the 2019-2020 school year.
