Title
Budget Adjustment: Solid Waste Management Requests $70,000 to Construct Fiber Connection with Comcast
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: Request to construct fiber connection with Comcast. Putting fiber from Comcast at the landfill location will provide carrier redundancy. We will have a point-to-point private connection with Comcast and an Internet connection with Lumen. If we do not put in the Comcast fiber in, we will pay Comcast the monthly off-net cost (higher monthly rate of $867.75) to lease the line and ride Lumen’s existing fiber. The estimated Comcast up front construction cost is $70,000 but will bring the monthly cost down to $242.55 on a 3-year contract. The estimated pay back in years is a little over 9 years
