SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Limited access to internet bandwidth in the City is a growing issue. Current providers operating within the City can provide maximum bandwidth up to 1Gig. IRON acts as an intermediary
to negotiate and provide “middle mile” internet connectivity and can provide speeds up to 10 Gig. The attached Master Services agreement will allow the City and IRON to agree to most
of the terms that will govern future transactions or future agreements. It allows the involved parties to more quickly negotiate future transactions or agreements, because they can
rely on the strong foundation of the master agreement for future business, so that the same terms need not be repetitively negotiated. This does not bind the City to a bandwidth contract.
Bandwidth services will be requested through a service order. The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Master Services Agreement between the City and IRON to allow further discussion related to “middle mile” bandwidth provisioning to the community and authorize the Mayor to
sign all necessary documents.
