Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve an amendment to our existing ASE (Switched Ethernet) agreement between Webb County and AT&T to acquire additional bandwidth (50Mb) and authorizing the Webb County Judge to sign all relevant documents. The amount will increase by an additional ONE HUNDRED TWO DOLLARS AND NINETY-FIVE CENTS ($102.95) per month from the contract that was originally approved by Commissioners Court. [Requested by Rafael Pena, Webb County IT Director; Account #001-0109-6004]

Issue: Due to current configuration and location of the telephone system at the juvenile village, the rates that apply when calling cell phones in the Laredo area are considered long distance resulting in high costs.

Solution: In order to reconfigure the phones to be managed by Webb County’s main phone system and avoid unnecessary long distance charges, the bandwidth between Webb County Administration Building and Juvenile Village must be increased.

Result: There will be enough bandwidth to accommodate the additional traffic that will be created by adding all of the existing phones located at the Youth Village.
