INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />Information Technologies Department <br />227 W Jefferson Blvd (574) 245-6000 <br />TO. Board of Public Works, Linda Martin <br />CC. Dan O'Connor <br />FROM: Michael E. Sniadecki, Director of Infrastructure <br />SUBJECT: Contract Renewal-COSB's Internet Service Provider (ISP) - <br />Microintegration <br />DATE. 03/30/17 <br />Linda, John, George & Michael, <br />Please see the attached quote to renew our Internet Service Provider and Data <br />Center Services contract with Microlntegration for three years. The Office of <br />Innovation and Technology team have reviewed the quote and given favorable <br />recommendation. <br />Micro lntegration has provided Internet to the City of South Bend for the past <br />three years with a high satisfaction rate from our team. Internet access is critical <br />to City employees and systems, and a loss of such access would seriously impair <br />the City's ability to operate. <br />We will continue to have BGP, which is a redundant multi -provider, and this <br />contract also includes our external DNS hosting and 64 public IP Addresses. <br />And, just as importantly, this Internet is quickly scalable in case COSB needs to <br />increase its internet bandwidth. <br />This contract renewal is at no increase to what we are currently paying. The cost <br />will be $1,800 per month, which is $21,600 annually. This will come to a total of <br />$64,800 for three years. <br />Thank you. <br />Michael E. Sniadecki <br />
