POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support modifying the term of the Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC, for telecommunications connectivity services?
BACKGROUND:
By Ordinance, on January 21, 2014, the city entered into a 60-month (five-year) Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC ("Comcast") for telecommunications connectivity services to the Littleton Fire Rescue (LFR) Administration Office at 1221 West Mineral Avenue, LFR Station 17 at 9554 South University Boulevard, and LFR Station 18 at 401 West Timbervale Trail.
The term of the MSA needs modification due to the addition of Comcast telecommunication connectivity services to the following service locations: the Littleton Center at 2255 West Berry Avenue, the Belleview Service Center at 1800 West Belleview Avenue, LFR Station 12 at 6529 South Broadway, LFR Station 13 at 6290 West Coal Mine Avenue, LFR Station 14 at 6600 South Colorado Boulevard, LFR Station 15 at 2702 East Dry Creek Road, LFR Station 16 at 8119 Blakeland Drive, and LFR Station 19 at 8490 West TrailMark Parkway.
The addition of these locations requires modifying the MSA. The original MSA was set to expire January 20, 2019. This ordinance will extend five years from the date the ordinance is approved
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Comcast has provided network services to the City of Littleton for 12 years as part of the INET in the 2000 Cable Franchise Agreement. This includes the fiber optic connections to all city buildings for voice, video, and data. The city’s franchise agreement has expired and Comcast has informed the city that in order to continue the fiber optic connections to all city buildings, the INET must be removed from the new franchise agreement and added to the MSA.
At the City Council meeting on November 1, 2016, during the first reading of this ordinance, Council directed the City Attorney to contact Comcast to ask for modifications to the 2014 MSA and its First Amendment to bring it into compliance with State law. Comcast agreed to make the modifications and provided a redlined revised version of the First Amendment. The Comcast MSA, the First Amendment, the redlined revised version of the First Amendment, and the final revised version of the First Amendment are attached to this Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The monthly fee for Comcast’s telecommunication connectivity services will be $10,400. This fee will be split between the city, LFR, and the fire partners.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Since this is the only form of connectivity between city buildings, the staff recommends approving the modifications to the MSA.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve on second reading the ordinance to modify the term of the Master Services Agreement with Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC, for telecommunications connectivity services.
