Department: Information Technology
Subject: CALNET Contract for Verizon and ATT (All Wards) Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt the CALNET contract with ATT and Verizon authorizing:
1. The City Manager or designee to execute the ATT CALNET contracts. The ATT CALNET contract is estimated to be $1,000.00 per year.
2. The City Manager or designee to execute the Verizon CALNET contracts. The Verizon CALNET contract is estimated to be $16,178.40 per year.
Executive Summary
CALNET is a competitively bid contract negotiated by the State of California Department of Technology (CDT). City Hall and the police department use CALNET contracts for Verizon and ATT to purchase wireless data and cellular services. ATT and Verizon utilize the CALNET contract pricing for services provided to the City. The contract is being renewed and both providers are requesting signatures on the updated contracts provided to the City.
Background
CALNET Contracts provide easy access to telecommunications and network services by enabling customers to order services using a simple form. This eliminates the often costly and lengthy procurement process while sparing the customer agency the burden of managing a contract. The customer can trust that the services have been developed with the best practices in requirements, service level agreements, procurement terms 1 8

and conditions, and competitive pricing. Higher standards of service performance than those offered in the industry are often achieved.
City Hall and the police department have used CALNET contracts for Verizon and ATT to purchase wireless data and cellular services. The City of San Bernardino has 4 Basic Business Access Lines (POTS). On the new contract, these will stay at under $12 each (plus taxes and surcharges). If the City does not transition these before CALNET 3 expires, they will be charged at tariff/guidebook rates. Most recent prices were nearing $1000 each.
Discussion
The CALNET contract is being updated and to keep the current pricing structure, the City must renew the contract. The City, including public safety, has been using the CALNET contract for competitive pricing for many years. The most recent renewal took place in 2001. This contract can be canceled at any time but allows the city to procure services from ATT and Verizon with favorable pricing. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
The CALNET contract aligns with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity.
Fiscal Impact
The Verizon CALNET contract is estimated to be $16,178.40 per year. There is sufficient funding in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 Budget to cover this cost.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California, adopt the CALNET contract with ATT and Verizon authorizing:
1. The City Manager or designee to execute the ATT CALNET contracts. The ATT CALNET contract is estimated to be $1,000.00 per year.
2. The City Manager or designee to execute the Verizon CALNET contracts. The Verizon CALNET contract is estimated to be $16,178.40 per year.
