INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to request approval of an amendment to an existing
Master Agreement and Project Statement between the City of Dubuque and Unite
Private Network (UPN)
BACKGROUND
In 2016 the City of Dubuque undertook its Broadband Acceleration Initiative. The
Initiative focuses on public/private collaborations and includes a comprehensive
strategy to reduce the cost and time required for broadband expansions in the City of
Dubuque. One effort within that strategy is the use of "Master Agreements", where an
overall legal, structural, and financial relationship is established between the City and
broadband providers and approved by City Council. Project Statements carried out
pursuant to that Master Agreement can then be quickly considered and approved.
In 2017 the City of Dubuque and UPN entered into a Master Co-location and Shared
Services Agreement to accelerate the deployment of new broadband capacity in the
City of Dubuque. The initial Project Statements under that collaboration have gone well
and all anticipated value to the City is being received.
DISCUSSION
UPN would like to undertake an additional project that would provide broadband
capacity and support for enhanced telephony services to businesses on the southern
edge of the City. The project would involve the sharing and upgrading of certain City
conduit assets. The market value for this collaboration to both City and UPN would be
$12,800.
BUDGET IMPACT
There is no negative budgetary impact on the approval of the proposed additional
project. Approving this proposed amendment will create new conduit capacity for the
City and result in a net license payment of approximately $7,680.
RECOMMENDATION AND ACTION REQUESTED
This amendment to the existing Master Co-location and Shared Services Agreement
with Unite Private Network creates new revenue and enhances the City of Dubuque's
on-going capacity to provide a state-of-the-art fiber optic infrastructure to its residents.
We would respectfully request your approval and recommendation to City Council.
