INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />Information Technologies Department <br />227 W Jefferson Blvd (574) 245-6000 <br />TO: <br />Board of Public Works, Linda Martin <br />CC: <br />Dan O'Connor <br />FROM: <br />Michael E. Sniadecki, Director of Infrastructure <br />SUBJECT: <br />City of South Bend -Metronet Buildout Phase 3 (Network <br />Solutions/Equipment Portion) 2 of 2 <br />Connecting our facilities for reliability and performance <br />DATE: <br />12/9/19 <br />Linda, Clara, Sandra, Ben, Daniel & Michael, <br />Please see the attached quote regarding purchasing Cisco network equipment for the addition of <br />six COSB locations to the Metronet/Dark Fiber during Phase 3 of this project. The overall initiative <br />is to connect just about all city facilities to the Metronet/dark fiber within two years with an <br />exception of Elbel Golf 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. The Office of Innovation and Technology team reviewed the <br />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 />Network equipment for Phase 3 of the Metronet/Dark Fiber Buildout will be a one-time cost of <br />$39,099.14 (Total of $298,411.14 including Metronet/Dark Fiber in another agenda). We have <br />$373,000 budgeted f/ 2019. Network Solution, Inc has Indiana State QPA. <br />Thank you, <br />Michael E. Sniadecki <br />
