AGENDA ITEM:

Interlocal Agreement between City of Plano and Collin County Community College District for Utilizing Fiber Optic Cabling Infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:Approval of Contract / Agreement

ITEM SUMMARY

To approve an Interlocal Agreement for one (1) year with five (5) automatic one-year renewals by and between the City of Plano and Collin County Community College District for Utilizing Fiber Optic Cabling Infrastructure; authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents; and providing an effective date. Approved

PREVIOUS ACTION/PRESENTATION

The City of Plano entered into an ILA with Collin County Community College District in 2016 which allowed the City to use the College’s fiber for approximate annual cost of $5,893 to cover annual maintenance costs. 

BACKGROUND

This agreement, if approved, would allow the City of Plano and Collin County Community College District to share their existing fiber optic cabling and physical pathways with one another.  This agreement would allow the City to take advantage of existing fiber owned by the College which would reduce the cost to the City of Plano and its taxpayers. This new agreement would replace the existing ILA to favor a mutual sharing agreement that will no longer come at a financial cost to either entity.

 

If the City of Plano does not approve the agreement, it will continue to pay annual costs related to maintenance on fiber it does not own and will accept the risk of having to pay for new future fiber installations.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS

This item has no financial impact.         

 

Approval of this item relates to the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors of Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
