Subject: TPX Wide Area Network (WAN) Relocation from 300N “D” Street Basement to 201B N “E” Street
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California Authorize the City Manager to approve the Service Agreement with TPX to relocate the Wide Area Network (WAN) Circuits from 300 N “D” Street basement to 201B N “E” Street 3rd floor computer room in preparation for the City Hall Building Renovation Project.
Executive Summary
In preparation for the construction to take place in the City Hall building when power may need to be turned off for some time, relocating network equipment that operates the City Building Wide Area Network (WAN) is necessary. It takes an extended period for relocation and this project must be completed before the estimated July 2024 date of construction. The WAN network can remain in the 201B building without the need to move back after the 300 building becomes occupied.
Background
The City WAN is located in an unoccupied City Hall building located at 300 N ”D” Street provided by TPX Communications. The WAN service and equipment must be relocated before the construction of the building to seismic retrofit. They will move all related equipment and services to the 201B N “E” Street building ensuring that the network is operational regardless of the status of the City Hall building. Services can remain and will not have to be relocated, saving the possibility of downtime during the duration of the retrofit.
Discussion
The City requested a move of services from TPX for the WAN. There is a recurring cost of $2,937.95 monthly to add the 201B N “E” Street building to the service area.
This amount will be displaced by the current amount of the 300 N “D” Street location due to the relocation of services. The contract will be coterminous with existing services set to expire on 7/14/2026. This is only a location change to the contract. 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
This project is aligned with Key Target No. 1: Improved Operational & Financial Capacity Approval of this contract will reduce the risk of potential outages of the network.
Fiscal Impact
There is sufficient funding in the FY 2023/24 Operating Budget for this item.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino, California authorize the City Manager to approve the Service Agreement with TPX to relocate the Wide Area Network (WAN) Circuits from 300 N ”D” Street basement to 201B N ”E” Street 3rd floor computer room in preparation for the City Hall Building Renovation Project.
