INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />n <br />Information Technologies Department <br />, s r 227 W Jefferson Blvd (574) 245-6000 <br />,CRkTCF,py <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 3 <br />(ChoiceLight/Metronet Portion) 1 of 2 <br />Connecting our facilities for reliability and performance <br />DATE: 12/9/19 <br />Linda, Clara, Sandra, Ben, Daniel & Michael, <br />Please see the attached quotes and spreadsheet regarding the addition of six COSB locations to <br />the Metronet/Dark Fiber during Phase 3 of this project. The overall initiative is to connect just <br />about all city facilities to the Metronet/dark fiber within two years with an exception of Elbel Golf <br />Pro Shop & Maintenance Garage. <br />Currently, Metronet/Dark Fiber serves as the backbone to share IT services/network connectivity <br />throughout many of the city facilities. ChoiceLight (formerly Metronet Zing) provides significant <br />savings as well as better, faster, more reliable/redundant connectivity. The Office of Innovation <br />and Technology team reviewed the quote and give favorable recommendation. <br />Below are locations within phase 3 that have no network connection, very slow circuit, and/or lack <br />of redundancy: <br />1) Rum Village <br />2) Pinhook Park <br />3) Leeper Park <br />4) Potawatomi Pool <br />5) Kennedy Pool <br />6) Byers Softball Complex <br />Phase 3 of the Metronet/Dark Fiber Buildout will be a one-time cost of $259,312 (Total of <br />$298,411.14 including equipment in another agenda). We have $373,000 budgeted f/ 2019. <br />ChoiceLight is a "sole source" vendor. They are the only ones that can do this work. <br />Thank you, <br />Michael E. Sniadecki <br />
