| Recommended Action |
| Approve agreement with Westech Industries, Inc. in the amount of $142,080 for the construction of communications conduit on County Road 25 between County Road 102 and County Road 103. |
| Strategic Plan Goal(s) |
| Operational Excellence |
| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
| In an ongoing effort by Yolo County Telecommunications to expand the County’s communication infrastructure, an Invitation for Bid (AUDIFBKK1605) was advertised on BidSync inviting qualified vendors to submit proposals to install communications conduit on County Road 25. The completion of this project will get the County one step closer to faster, more reliable communications to the landfill, and eventually to County buildings in the City of Davis. It will also help create a communications "ring" between Woodland and Davis for redundancy of our critical systems. The new conduit could also be used by service providers for broadband Internet service to unserved/underserved areas of Yolo County as well as our cities to help improve communications and information sharing. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| General Services worked with staff from the Department of Financial Services and the County Counsel's office. General Services has also been in contact with the City of Davis for possible sharing of this infrastructure for city needs. |
