CONSENT
City of Shakopee IS.F.1,
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Tracy Schaefer, Assistant to the City Administrator
SUBJECT: INET Locate Agreement - Access Communications
DATE: June 3, 2003
Introduction
INET construction is completed, so the INET needs to be located by a professional
locating company to ensure security, reliability and maintenance of the City's new INET.
Background
City, School District and Scott County received two quotes from locating companies to
locate the INET. Locating ofthe INET is needed when a call is made to Gopher One, if
digging is going to occur near the INET.
Staff looked into having city, school or county staff locate the INET; however, due to the
growth in the city it would require hiring a full-time position and significant increases in
insurance costs due to the liability and high INET repair costs, if the INET were to be
damaged. It was determined that it was more cost effective to hire a professional
company. During INET construction, over 400 locates were done alone in August 2002.
After reviewing the two bids, staff recommends Access Communications to locate the
INET. Access Communications is the company that constructed the INET, thus is
extremely familiar with locations and operations of the !NET. Access Communications
was also the lowest bidder and is able to provide maintenance, if needed, of the !NET.
The contract is for a five-year period from June 1,2003 -: May 31,2008. Each entity will
be responsible for paying for its percentage of fiber that is located throughout the INET.
Much ofthe fiber overlaps in many areas, so those areas were equally divided. The City
will be responsible for 8% ofthe contract each year. The School District is responsible
for 44% and Scott County 48%.
Budget Impact
The five year contract will cost the three entities $23,900/year, with annual inflationary
adjustments. The city of Shako pee will be responsible for $1,912 for 2003, which will be
taken from the Telecommunications Fund.
Action
Direct appropriate city officials to enter into a five-year contract awarding the locating
work to Access Communications, for the amount of $23,900/ year, which the City is
responsible for $1,912 (8%) for 2003 with annual inflation adjustments for the
subsequent four years from the Telecommunications Fund.
