BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 16, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Zan Fedorak
SUBJECT: Seeking Approval for Extension of Contracts for Wireless Services
DEPARTMENT: Purchasing
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: [PUR] Seeking Approval for extension of contracts with Southern
Linc (C07-1549-PUR), Verizon (C07-1535-PUR), and Sprint (C07-1382-PUR).
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: Staff has previously taken advantage of utilizing State
Contract Pricing for the Verizon contract and Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) for
the Sprint contract. Both are competitively bid cooperative contracts which expire 01/18/2017
and 10/31/2016 respectively.
Southern Linc has requested to extend their contract for an additional two (2) years and offered
an equipment change-out for replacement of any outdated units. Southern Linc is utilized
primarily by the Public Works Department. Public Works has reviewed the proposed extension
and supports the request which will expire 9/30/2016. Southern Linc Wireless Contract can be
viewed at: <http://www.co.okaloosa.fl.us/southern%20linc.pdf>.
OPTIONS: Approval/Deny extension of contracts with Southern Linc (C07-1549-PUR)
expiring 9/30/2016, Verizon (C07-1535-PUR) expiring 01/18/2017, and Sprint (C07-1382-
PUR) expiring 10/31/2016.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends extension of contracts with Southern Linc (C07-
1549-PUR) expiring 9/30/2016, Verizon (C07-1535-PUR) expiring 01/18/2017, and Sprint
(C07-1382-PUR) expiring 10/31/2016.
