21 Information Technologies Fiber Connectivity Project Category County Project Status: Active Project Type Functional Service Area: Support Services Proposed Bid Date: TBD New Department: Information Technology Starting Date: 2/1/2018 Expansion x Project Number: 30007E Completion Date: 6/30/2022 Renovation Replacement Project Description/Justification: Funding in FY2017-18 included $1,160,000 in fiber connectivity within the Town of Hillsborough. Funding of$1,160,000 is requested in FY 2021-22 to extend County owned fiber to facilities in the Southern part of the County. During FY 2016-17, Information Technologies undertook a fiber inventory and assessment project by hiring a fiber needs assessment consultant to estimate how much it would cost to run fiber to county facilities that rely on Time Warner network connections. These connections are billed monthly at approximately$17,000 per month. After connecting county facilities,excess fiber could be offered to other government agencies,schools and businesses as a means of improving internet service andmaintenance cost sharing. This fiber request may be offset with potential construction cost sharing agreements with other partners.
