Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement with Round Rock Independent School District for Dark Fiber Indefeasible Right of Use.
Body
This Interlocal Agreement between Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) and the City of Round Rock will allow the sharing of physical fiber optic network infrastructure. Fiber optic connectivity is utilized to provide Internet connectivity, data transmission, and enterprise security to and between all City facilities.
RRISD has recently constructed a new fiber optic network infrastructure throughout the school district boundary. The agreement would provide the City ownership of two pairs of fiber optic cabling to be utilized in order to connect City facilities within its own network. The City, as part of the agreement, would also make available to RRISD, two pairs of fiber optics from the City’s existing fiber optic infrastructure. The two pairs of fiber provided on RRISD’s fiber optic infrastructure will extend telecommunications coverage over a larger geographic area and reduces costs with connecting City facilities in areas not currently in proximity to City owned fiber.
This interlocal agreement will replace the previous resolution (R-07-07-12-11A1) approved by Council in 2007.
Cost: $264,975.23 and $1,999.27 annually
