Dote JUL 0 7 2015 Form#: B-52 7/18/91 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DEPARTMENT: Information Technology DATE: 07/02/2015 STAFF CONTACT: Don Jacobs PHONE: 932-2975 A. REQUEST: Multi-year agreement for Oceanic Time Warner 100Mb DIA fiber based connection to the Internet to be used as the primary internet connection for County of Hawaii network users. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): The County of Hawaii currently utilizes a 20Mb DIA fiber based connection provided by Oceanic Time Warner and the Department of Information Technology with a MRC (Monthly Recurring Cost) of$1,320. Based on a 60 month agreement, the new MRC for the 100Mb connection would be $1,500 for a total of $90,000 over the 60 month period. The new multi-year agreement would allow the County to increase our Internet bandwidth substantially with a nominal increase in MRC. Due to increasing demands for bandwidth to support the various business functions of County, the Department of Information Technology feels that the upgrade in bandwidth speed would be of great benefit to the County of Hawaii.
