FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: City of Nashua Service Agreement CCl 102418
The City of Nashua has been using Fairpoint Communications as its Internet Services Provider (ISP) for the past
several years. The service has been extremely stable and reliable throughout the time period, Consolidated
Communications, Inc. (CCI) recently purchased Fairpoint. Since the previous contract expires next month, CC!
and the Information Technology Division have been negotiating a new contract.
The proposed contract increases the City’s Internet bandwidth from 300 Mbps to 1000 Mbps while decreasing
the monthly charge by over $250. Since the appropriate equipment and IP addresses are already in place, there
will be no impact to the usage.
The information Technology Division recommends awarding the contract to CC in the amount of
$1,213.96/month. Funding is available in the Telecomm-Telecommunications, Telephone-Voice account
