Title

Award of an Additional Vendor for the Purchase of Outdoor Wireless Access Points (Replacement) for the Department of Innovation and Technology (Smart Cities Initiative) (Citywide)

The City currently provides free public Wi-Fi in the downtown district, libraries, parks, and pools.  The current outdoor system has reached end-of-life and replacement is needed.  With the new development in Downtown Mesa, the project will also expand the service area, as well as work with residents and businesses to ensure the service meets the needs of the community working in, living in, and visiting downtown, parks, and pool facilities.  The original vendor awarded, Sentinel Technologies, is unable to supply all of the necessary components.  Between the two vendors, the City will be able to acquire everything needed to complete the project.

The Department of Innovation and Technology and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract with Enterprise Network Solutions; at $539,075, based on estimated requirements.  This purchase is funded by Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.
