Ratification of the Emergency Purchase for Fiber Optic Cabling Repairs for the Engineering Department (Citywide) On October 23, 2023, a subcontractor for Gigapower, LLC struck and damaged City fiber optic cables during directional drilling to install new conduits, resulting in a brief broadband outage and posed the potential for additional disruptions. This damage significantly impacted City conduits and the fiber optic network, which is vital for public safety, and presented a heightened risk of losing connectivity at key sites. In response, the City employed BPG Technologies for the urgent repairs on the affected conduit and fiber optic cables. The Engineering Department and Purchasing recommend ratifying the purchase using the State of Arizona contract with BPG Technologies, LLC for $111,540. This purchase is funded by Subcontractor Reimbursement.
