Report Title: Contract Amendment with AT&T
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee

RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with AT&T Enterprises, LLC., utilizing the California Department of Technology Agreement, to increase the payment limit by $550,000 to a new payment limit of $9,750,000 for network engineer support services with no change to the current term through June 30, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost for this contract is within the Department of Information Technology’s IT Project Supplement Funding for WebEx Calling Implementation FY 25/26, 100% General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Wide Area Network (WAN) group is a vital component of the Department of Information Technology, serving as the backbone infrastructure that enables County employees to access all IT systems. Several years ago, the department capitalized on the opportunity to utilize the California Department of Technology’s CALNET contract with AT&T to benefit from their extensive expertise in WAN services. This partnership provided the County with access to a team of highly skilled professionals offering continuous, 24/7 monitoring and support, thereby ensuring prompt resolution of network issues and uninterrupted service for critical public safety operations. DoIT now seeks to extend this contract number 4932100 with AT&T Enterprises to include AT&T consulting services for the implementation of WebEx calling solutions.
This AT&T contract incorporates by reference the existing CALNET Agreement Number C4-DNCS-19-001-40 between AT&T and the California Department of Technology, which includes predetermined hourly rates for network engineering services. This agreement, awarded to AT&T through a competitive procurement process on April 15, 2020, currently has a not-to-exceed amount of $9,200,000 and remains in effect through June 30, 2026. Pursuant to the proposed amendment, the contract limit will be increased by $550,000, resulting in a new total of $9,750,000.
The Department has consulted with Labor, and they are in support of moving this item forward.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract amendment is not approved, the County will be significantly impaired and unable to provide an adequate level of service to any County department.
