BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The existing CALNET contract Authorization to Order (ATO) expired on November 10, 2005, but will auto -renew one additional year if no action is taken. However, after November 2006 SBC services will fall back to straight tariff pricing, which is two to three times higher than the current pricing under the terms of the State of California CALNET agreement. SBC is offering to lock in the current CALNET pricing if the City signs a renewal contract that expires in 2008. Over the past five years the City Council has allowed staff to purchase telephone services and equipment from SBC under the terms of the State of California competitively bid CALNET contract; related Council resolutions 99-53, 99-106, and 2001-220. The State of California is currently working on a new agreement called CALNET II. The SBC contract extension to 2008 will honor the terms of the original CALNET contract, and allows the City of Lodi to terminate the contract without penalty should a newer CALNET agreement become available. It is anticipated that the State of California will award the CALNET II contract sometime during 2006 or 2007. The CALNET agreement has been written with a refresh clause that ensures that the State (and the City) will get the lowest prices for goods and services during the term of the contract. The current CALNET contract ends in 2005. CALNET agreement refresh clause: 1.7. ANNUAL SERVICE REVIEW For the purpose of maintaining competitiveness throughout the term of this Agreement, Contractor agrees to a joint review of its pricing and service functionallity, and marketing efforts annually to ensure State and its customers will receive cost and technologically competitive services throughout the terms of the Agreement. Contractor agrees that no other customer of Pacific Bell (SBC) and MCI, collectively or as individual companies, will receive better rates for a substantially similar suite of services offered under substantially similar terms and conditions when the volume of business from the other customer is equal to or less than the volume of business the State delivers under this Agreement. Revised: Amendment No. 1 - 1214198 APPROVED::7)- Blair King, City Manager It is therefore staff's recommendation that the City Council authorize a three-year extension to the existing SBC contract in order to avoid expiration of the current contract and having the City pay tariff rates, with the understanding that the City retains the option of canceling the contract should terms be found more favorable under the proposed CALNETII agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no fiscal impact by approving the extension, as recommended. However, the City's telephone costs could dramatically increase next year if the contract is not extended.
