Re: Resolution for multi-year agreement
Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the payment of funds for more than one fiscal year,
for a new multi-year agreement for Direct Internet Access (DIA). This agreement is to
provide a fiber based connection to increase the County's internet bandwidth speed from
25 megabytes (Mb)to between 50 and 100 Mb for County users at the West Hawai`i
Civic Center. The vendor to provide this service will be selected through the County's
procurement process.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Don Jacobs, Director of the
Department of Information Technology at 932-2975.

A. 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.
