Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with Systems Application & Technologies, Inc (SA-Tech) for an amount not to exceed $360,000 for the installation of private fiber optic cable from 4310 Gallatin Street to 3505 Hamilton Street, to include connecting the Driskell Park Community building. Additionally, SA-Tech will provide turn-key public wifi connections to King Park, Driskell Park, and Hyatt Park as a pilot project for the City. This work will be facilitated by utilizing a rider on Prince George's County Master Agreement for Information Technology Professional Consulting Technical Services dated February 3, 2023, pending legal review. The Treasurer is authorized to make the budget amendments necessary to encumber the funds using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds as previously approved by Council.

Summary Background:
As part of the project to construct the Hyattsville Public Safety Building at 3505 Hamilton Street, a connection to the Prince George's County INet/CNet system is required to ensure records and communications interoperability with the Prince George's County Police Department and 911 system as well as neighboring jurisdictions. The County INet/CNet team performed the engineering analysis and design of the dark fiber cable to connect 4310 Gallatin Street to 3505 Hamilton Street. SA-Tech is one of several contractors Prince George's County selected as the result of the RFP solicitation WS299717236 in the Spring of 2022. The INet/CNet team recommended SA-Tech to the City for the infrastructure installation. SA-Tech will meet with City staff to review the scope of work, including site visits to prepare the proposal.
