Request: Approve the IGA with the State of Illinois, Department of Innovation and Technology that lets the County take ownership and pay its fair share of the cost for their portion of the new fiber optic cable path in the downtown campus that avoids the Thompson Center
Goods or Services: construction cost of alternate fiber optic pathway
Agreement Number(s): N/A
Agreement Period: 20 Year contract with a one-time payment upon completion of the project
Fiscal Impact: $399,300.00
Accounts: 11569.1031.11190.560105/7.00000.00000 (Capital Improvement Program)
Summary: The current fiber optic system connecting the downtown campus was constructed by the County in 2013. This system connects government buildings including but not limited to Daley Center, Dunne Building, County Building, and City Hall. This not only interconnects downtown government buildings, but also connects all County locations to our Internet Service Providers and connects major facilities (Stroger, Provident, Jail, Oak Forest, Markham, Maywood) to our Wide Area Network. The County no longer has free access to the main artery due to the State of Illinois selling the Thompson Center to Google.
Through this IGA, the State will oversee the construction of this new fiber path and the County will pay its fair share proportionate to the number of strands allocated. This equals 33% of the construction cost to the County which is estimated to be $399,300.
