17-0827 Renewal of the Term Contract for Verizon Wireless Voice and Data Service Plan for Citywide Departments as requested by the Information Technology Department - Communications and Infrastructure (Citywide)
The City’s non-public safety departments had 893 wireless devices that totaled approximately $386,145.98 in usage charges in FY2016/17.  The Fire and Medical and Police Departments had 1,413 wireless devices that totaled approximately $662,325.75 in FY2016/17.  These devices include phones and AirCards.
Through this program, City devices can draw from the Citywide voice or data allowance if usage exceeds an individual plan’s limit, mitigating overage charges.  In addition, equipment upgrades can be leveraged from a Citywide perspective, allowing aging or failing devices to be replaced as needed. Also, the City uses a procurement card to make payment under the agreement, which has increased the City’s rebate.
The Information Technology Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing using the State of Nevada / Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) cooperative contract with Cellco Partnership, dba Verizon Wireless, at $1,100,000 annually, based on estimated requirements.

City Council Report  
Date: August 28, 2017
To: City Council Through: Mike Kennington, Chief Financial Officer 
From:  Edward Quedens, MPA, C.P.M., CPPO, Business Services Director 
Matt Bauer, MBA, CPPO, CPPB, CPSM, Procurement Administrator
Subject: Renewal of the Term Contract for Verizon Wireless Voice and Data Service Plan for Citywide Departments as requested by the Information Technology Department – Communications and Infrastructure (Citywide)   
Purpose and Recommendation 
Council is requested to approve the Term Contract for the City’s Wireless Voice and Data Service Plan as recommended.   
The Information Technology Department - Communications and Infrastructure and Purchasing recommend authorizing using the State of Nevada / Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) cooperative contract with Cellco Partnership dba Verizon Wireless at $1,100,000.00 annually, based on estimated requirements. 

Background / Discussion 
On November 23, 2015, Council approved the use of Verizon Wireless Voice and Data Service Plan per State of Nevada / Western States Contracting Alliance Contract #1907.   
Through this program, City devices can draw from the citywide voice or data allowance
if usage exceeds an individual plan’s limit (mitigating overage charges). 
In addition, equipment upgrades can be leveraged from a citywide perspective, allowing aging or failing devices to be replaced as needed.
The City uses a procurement card to make payment under the agreement which has increased the City’s rebate received by Bank of America. 
> The City (Non-Public Safety Departments) had 804 wireless devices that averaged $37,493.19 per month on usage charges ($374,931.92 per year) in FY 2015/16. 
> The Fire and Medical and Police Departments had 1,422 wireless devices that averaged $58,230.59 per month on usage charges ($698,767.12 per year) in FY 2015/16. 
> The City (Non-Public Safety Departments) had 893 wireless devices that averaged $32,178.83 per month on usage charges ($386,145.98 per year) in FY2016/17. 
> The Fire and Medical and Police Departments had 1,413 wireless devices that averaged $55,193.81 per month on usage charges ($662,325.75 per year) in FY 2016/17. 
The State of Nevada, as the lead agency, awarded a contract to Verizon Wireless valid from 4/16/2012 through 6/30/2019.  The City may use this contract through the State of Arizona with the same contract expiration as a WSCA cooperative member. 

 2
The 2015 Council approval was for one year. 
Due a clerical error entering the wrong year in the expiration date, there was a ten-month lapse in the Council-approved contract period.  As soon as this error was found, this item was placed on the Council agenda. 
The City has been successful using the State of Nevada / WSCA cooperative contract for the past 21 months.  This contract continues to be advantageous to the City and it is in the City’s best interest to use this contract.
   
Alternatives 
Council may choose not to award the purchase. 

Fiscal Impact 
The annual contract amount is available through the operating budgets of the City Departments using the Wireless Voice and Data Service Plan.
