RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with CSI Telecommunications, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $200,000 to provide Federal Communications Commission radio licensing and microwave frequency coordination as needed; for the period February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$200,000 maximum (100% User Fees). The entire cost is budgeted under Org. 4295 and recovered through DoIT's billing process.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Information Technology Microwave Division is responsible for maintaining the County's Microwave System, including frequency coordination and licensing.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In accordance with Administrative Bullentin No 611.0, County Departments are required to obtain Board approval for single item purchases over $100,000. The County Administrator's Office has reviewed this request and recommends approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Should the Board elect to not approve the contract, DoIT will be unable to ensure the integrity of the County's Microwave System. Proper maintenance of the system is essential for many reasons including homeland security and public safety.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
