9 <br /> BellSouth Telecommunications Inc. <br /> Frame Relay Network Service Agreement <br /> "Frame relay"is the name used for a good quality, flexible data communications network <br /> service provided by BellSouth. Unlike current wired connections between specific <br /> buildings, frame relay allows each facility to have connections to all other buildings <br /> through the high-speed digital telephone network. The frame relay system is less <br /> vulnerable to point-to-point interruptions of service, has a guaranteed minimum data <br /> throughput rate and provides an easily reconfigured connection for additional capacity <br /> without purchase of new data communications equipment. <br /> The attached contract is a 12 month agreement for BellSouth to provide frame relay <br /> network services for the Government Services Annex, Whiffed Building and Southern <br /> Human Services Center. It includes funding for non-recurring installation and setup <br /> charges and monthly contract costs. BellSouth frame relay services also include costs for <br /> non-contract items,that are not covered by tariffs. The combined contract and non- <br /> contract costs for frame relay network services total $30,367 for the one year term of the <br /> agreement, as summarized in the attached spreadsheets. <br />
