1. Telecommunications Network Expansion Project Update
PRESENTED BY ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER MARCUS PECCIA (847-615-4287)
Previously discussed at this evening’s Committee of the Whole meeting, due to the relocation of the City's Municipal Services facility that is currently located at 110 Laurel, to the
Conway Office Park off of Route 60, the City needs to re-engineer and expand its current fiber optics network to connect to the new facility, for the purposes of providing communication
(primarily data & voice) to all key City facilities, such as Public Safety, City Hall, and the Recreation Center.
On February 18th the IT Ad-Hoc Committee, along with the City Manager, City's IT staff and Districts' IT Director, interviewed CTC, and separated CTC's proposal for the project into
two phases; with Phase I defined as design and engineering services, and Phase II defined as implementation and oversight services. The IT Ad-Hoc Committee further concluded that they
are a qualified consulting firm with unique qualifications for our project, and are recommending that the Council consider approving their recommendation to authorize the City Manager
to enter into a professional services agreement with them accordingly.
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with CTC, for Phase I (design/engineering) in an amount not to exceed $34,000, and further
direct staff to work with the School Districts to draft an inter-governmental agreement that will define our respective responsibilities and partnership for this project.
