BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: September 2, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Vanderhoek
SUBJECT: Cox Communications PRI Commercial Services Agreements
DEPARTMENT: Information Systems
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board is requested to grant permission to enter into
Commercial Services Agreements with Cox Communications for our Primary Rate Interface
(PRI) lines and authorize the Chairman to sign each Agreement.
BACKGROUND: Information Systems would like to extend three of four Cox
Communications PRIs for a period of three years; the fourth PRI will be disconnected. Each PRI
will cost $400 per month plus the added surcharges. The total for two of the Agreements will be
$454.45 per month and the total for the third Agreement will be $469.45 per month. The
difference of $15.00 per month for the third Agreement is the DID 100 Number Block for the 50
2nd Street, Shalimar location.
A one-time cost rate sheet is attached for work performed by Cox employees during the life of
the agreement. This rate sheet is current costs and may fluctuate during the contract life. There
may be additional agreements, for added services, that we request permission to sign in
accordance with Purchasing policies.
The Agreements have been through the Purchasing review process.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the three Commercial Services
Agreements with Cox Communications and requests the Board authorize the Chairman to sign
each of the three Agreements.
