BACKGROUND:
Background
The City has utilized Crown Castle for a aggregate internet connection used for the Fire Department primarily for vehicle connectivity to the County since 2019. The service contracted with Crown Castle is a symmetric 1GB internet circuit to allow for a divergent path with our primary provider and a balanced load distribution that can be used by all City departments. With the City leveraging more cloud services an increased high speed communications service for a lower price is beneficial to City services. Crown Castle is offering a renewal price of $918 a month for double the amount of bandwidth with a $2,400 annual savings with a signed 3-year renewal. The pricing is within the budgeted amount by the IT department annually; therefore, there is sufficient funds to cover this expense in 2025 and the IT department has budgeted sufficient funds in the upcoming budget.
