DATE: December 16, 2020
Information Services Manager Chris Kohlmann, Civil Engineer II Dave Ness and
Sustainable Innovation Consultant Dave Lyons recommend City Council approval of an
amendment to an existing Master Agreement and Project Statement in place between
the City of Dubuque and Unite Private Network.
Unite Private Network would like to undertake an additional project that would provide
broadband capacity and support for enhanced telephony services to the Port of
Dubuque. The project would involve the construction and sharing of certain conduit
assets. The market value for these collaborations to both City and Unite Private
Network would be $54,260.
There is no negative budgetary impact to the approval of the proposed additional
projects. Approving these proposed amendments will reimburse City costs for sharing,
maintaining, and expanding its broadband capacity for City, industry and citizen needs
by $41,075.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to request approval of an amendment to an existing
Master Agreement and Project Statement in place 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 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
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 the Port of Dubuque. The
project would involve the construction and sharing of certain conduit assets. The market
value for these collaborations to both City and UPN would be $54,260.
BUDGET IMPACT
There is no negative budgetary impact to the approval of the proposed additional
projects. Approving these proposed amendments will reimburse City costs for sharing,
maintaining, and expanding its broadband capacity for City, industry and citizen needs
by $41,075.
RECOMMENDATION AND ACTION REQUESTED
This amendment to the existing Master Co-location and Shared Services Agreement
with Unite Private Network supports Dubuque's Broadband Acceleration Initiative and
reimburses the cost to City of providing a state-of-the-art fiber optic infrastructure that
can be shared. We would respectfully request your approval and recommendation to
City Council.
