BACKGROUND
Access to affordable and reliable internet connectivity has become increasingly essential in our daily lives. It has a profound impact on education, economic opportunities, healthcare, and social engagement. However, there are still areas within our city where internet access is limited, and some not affordable, resulting in a digital divide that hinders progress and equitable opportunities.
The attached proposal, “Attachment A” outlines a pilot project that has been developed to implement a City-Wide Wi-Fi network at various locations throughout the community (Trial Locations). This proposal aims to provide universal access to internet, foster digital inclusion, and promote economic growth and community development. Proposed benefits to the community include:
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL FOR AWARD OF CONTRACT TO LAN WAN ENTERPRISE - CITYWIDE WiFi PROJECT
June 6, 2023
1. Bridging the Digital Divide: The City-Wide Wi-Fi network will bridge the digital divide by providing equitable access to the internet for all residents, regardless of their socioeconomic status or geographic location. This will empower underserved communities, students, and low-income households with the tools they need to thrive in the digital age.
2. Education and Innovation: The network will enhance educational opportunities by providing students with access to online resources, e-learning platforms, Artificial Intelligence AI tools and research materials. It will enable innovation, collaboration, and digital literacy initiatives that drive academic achievement and workforce development.
3. Community Engagement and Social Inclusion: The City-Wide Wi-Fi network will promote community engagement through online platforms, enabling residents to participate in civic discussions, access government services, and connect with one another.
Staff proposes the establishment of a City-Wide Wi-Fi network that will blanket our municipality with reliable internet access. The network will encompass residential areas at various locations throughout the community. This comprehensive coverage will ensure that residents can access the internet seamlessly, irrespective of their home location if within the coverage area.
Public Contract Code Sections 10290 et seq. and 12105.5, include the approval for local government agencies to use California Multiple Award Schedule Contracts (CMAS) for acquisition of information technology and non-information technology products and services.
