Title
Renewal of the Term Contract for Verizon Wireless Voice and Data Service Plan for Citywide Departments as requested by the Information Technology Department - Communications and Infrastructure (Citywide)

The City’s non-public safety departments had 893 wireless devices that totaled approximately $386,145.98 in usage charges in FY2016/17.  The Fire and Medical and Police Departments had 1,413 wireless devices that totaled approximately $662,325.75 in FY2016/17.  These devices include phones and AirCards.

Through this program, City devices can draw from the Citywide voice or data allowance if usage exceeds an individual plan’s limit, mitigating overage charges.  In addition, equipment upgrades can be leveraged from a Citywide perspective, allowing aging or failing devices to be replaced as needed. Also, the City uses a procurement card to make payment under the agreement, which has increased the City’s rebate.

 

The Information Technology Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing using the State of Nevada / Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) cooperative contract with Cellco Partnership, dba Verizon Wireless, at $1,100,000 annually, based on estimated requirements.
