BACKGROUND
AT&T ("the organization") has been providing the City of Miami with Metro Ethernet Services for over five
(5) years now. This service provides the interconnectivity for all City networks. The funds that were
budgeted for FY 2016-2017 were for an annual amount of $432,000 dollars to be funded through the Internal
Service Fund (50001.251000.546001.0000.00000). For FY2017-2018 we are proposing to not exceed an
amount of $600,000 for a period of one (1) year. This agreement to be entered with AT&T is to lock the rates
for one (1) year with the option to extend for an additional (1) one year period. The amount increased from
FY17 to FYI 8 due to the implementation of the Parks Department Point of Sale projects where we had to
add more Metro E networks.
