REQUEST: Multi-year agreement for Direct Internet Access (DIA) for our West Hawaii Civic Center location. This will be used as the primary internet connection for the County of Hawaii network users via the firewall that is at the West Hawaii Civic Center. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): Our current Internet access speed for the West Hawaii Civic Center location is 25MB. The current contract will expire in Feburary 2017. We have initiated the County's Procurement Process to acquire a suitable vendor that meets our Internet access needs. There will be an increase of County network users that will be utilizing the Internet connection located at the West Hawaii Civic Center over the course of the next few months due to load balancing and increased Internet security. We would like to request a DIA connection speed of 50MB - 100MB, depending on the costs and term agreements to see what will benefit the County the best way. The current Monthly Recurring Cost for the 25MB internet connection is $2,207.50. By doing the quote for multiple years, we can get a better rate, which is why we are requesting for a multi-year agreement. Due to the increase in demands for bandwidth and the increase of sites that are now on the County fiber, the Department of Information Technology feels that the upgrade in bandwidth speed would be of great benefit to the County of Hawaii. 7.\\,\ (s) _ ', ?( - \ , , SIGNED: , ,i � I /�' DATE: -��7��- � i fepartm,ht Head
