INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />Information Technologies Department <br />227 W Jefferson Blvd (674) 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: City of South Bend -Metronet Buildout Phase 2 <br />Connecting our facilities for reliability and performance <br />DATE: 8/21/18 <br />Linda, Sandra, Clara, Jennifer & Michael, <br />Please see the attached quotes and spreadsheet regarding the addition of eight COSB <br />locations to the Metronet during phase two of this project. The overall initiative is to <br />connect all city facilities to the Metronet within two years. <br />Currently, Metronet serves as the backbone to share IT services/network connectivity <br />throughout many of the city facilities. Metronet provides significant savings as well as <br />better, faster, more reliable/redundant connectivity. The Office of Innovation and <br />Technology team reviewed the quote and give favorable recommendation. <br />Below are locations within phase two that have no network connection, very slow circuit, <br />and/or lack of redundancy: <br />1) Fire Station #10 <br />2) Fire Station #3 <br />3) Fire Station #7 <br />4) Fire Station #8 <br />5) Erskine Golf Pro <br />6) Erskine Golf Maintenance <br />7) Studebaker Golf Pro <br />8) Studebaker Gold Maintenance <br />Phase two of the Metronet Buildout would be a one-time cost of $438,635. We have <br />$373,000 budgeted f/ 2018 and $373,000 planned f/ 2019 ($746,000 total). This Phase <br />two project will start 2018 Fall and finish 2019 Spring. Metronet is a "sole source" <br />vendor. They are the only ones that can do this work. <br />Thank you, <br />
