Item No: 4.C.1.

Meeting Date: May 29, 2012

From: Jim Lemberg – Manager, Communications Utility

Subject: Resolution authorizing acceptance of a customer order from Leesburg Regional Medical Center, Inc. for dark fiber.

Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval of a resolution authorizing acceptance of a customer order for dark fiber from Leesburg Regional Medical Center, Inc.

Analysis:

This order is for one pair of dark fibers running between LRMC’s main campus and its new data center. The City has fibers available along the necessary route and will only need to pull a short length of cable into the data center building and perform a minimal amount of splicing. The commercial terms and conditions under which this service will be provided are contained in a Master Service Agreement which Commission approved at its January 10, 2011 meeting.

Options:

1. Approve the resolution, or

2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

Fiscal Impact:

The customer will prepay the total fee for the five-year term at the beginning of the term. The customer’s one-time, up-front payment will be $90,069.09, which is a 16.6% discount against what would be the total of monthly payments at standard pricing.
