Information Technologies Fiber Connectivity <br />Project Category:County Capital Project Status:Active Project Type <br />Functional Service <br />Area:Support Services Proposed Bid <br />Award Date:Feb 2018 New <br />Department:Information Technology Starting Date:May 2018 Expansion X <br />Project Number:30007 Completion Date:June 2021 Renovation <br />Replacement <br />Project Description/Justification:Funding in FY2017-18 included <br />$1,160,000 in fiber connectivity within the Town of Hillsborough. Funding <br />of $1,160,000 is requested in FY 2020-21 to extend County owned fiber to <br />facilities in the Southern part of the County. <br />During FY 2016-17, Information Technologies undertook a fiber inventory <br />and assessment project by hiring a fiber needs assessment consultant to <br />estimate how much it would cost to run fiber to county facilities that rely on <br />Time Warner network connections. These connections are billed monthly <br />at approximately $17,000 per month. After connecting county facilities, <br />excess fiber could be offered to other government agencies, schools and businesses as a means of improving <br />internet service andmaintenance cost sharing. This fiber request may be offset with potential construction cost <br />sharing agreements with other partners. <br /> <br />FINANCIAL SUMMARY <br />Current Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Five Year 6 <br />Prior Years Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Year to <br />Project Budget Funding 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 Total Year 10 <br />Expenses <br /> Professional Services <br /> Equipment - <br /> Fiber Connectivity 1,220,000 1,160,000 - 1,160,000 <br /> Total Project Budget 1,220,000 - - 1,160,000 - - - 1,160,000 - <br />Funding Sources <br /> Transfer from General Fund 60,000 -- <br /> Transfer from Other Projects - <br /> Funding from Partners - <br /> Debt Financing 1,160,000 - 1,160,000 - 1,160,000 - <br /> Total 1,220,000 - - 1,160,000 - - - 1,160,000 - <br />Impact on Operating Budget <br /> Personnel Services <br /> Operations (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (78,530) (366,790) <br /> Recurring Capital <br /> New/Add'l Revenues - <br /> Total Operating Costs - (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (15,706) (78,530) (366,790) <br />56
