end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize the Deputy County Manager to amend the contract for fiber optics network maintenance and engineering with Local Government Information Systems (LOGIS).
SUMMARY
Dakota County executed a contract for fiber optics network maintenance and engineering with Local Government Information Systems (LOGIS) in March 2023. The contract provides the engineering and management of all projects, repairs, break fix work, maintenance, and relocates for Dakota County.
The 2023 contract was not to exceed $358,167 which was billed quarterly. This was based on rate of $0.23 per foot of fiber optic cable. The 2024 contract was not to exceed $388,167. This was based on a rate of $0.24 per foot of fiber optic cable. Actual 2024 expenses were lower than anticipated.
Given the lower expenses, the 2025 contract amount will remain at the not to exceed amount of $388,167. The cost for 2025 is based on a per foot rate of $0.25 per foot of fiber optic cable. Dakota County has planned projects adding an estimated 39,000 additional feet of fiber optic cable. Additional network footage constructed or added to the Dakota County owned network will be used to calculate costs for 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the County Board authorize the Deputy County Manager to execute an amendment to the contract increasing the costs for fiber location to $0.25 per foot per mile, for a 2025 contract amount not to exceed $388,167 with Local Government Information Systems (LOGIS) for fiber optics network maintenance and engineering.
