Agreement with TPX Communications <br />April 6, 2021 <br />Page 2 <br />5 <br />9 <br />3 <br />modern SIP trunking. SIP trunking provides flexibility, scalability, and other advantages <br />over PRI. <br />The City and TPX have developed a plan to implement a SIP architecture for the City. <br />Once completed, PRI trunk lines can be eliminated. The City is also looking to procure <br />minute bundles that better meet the current usage used by the City in order to make the <br />monthly cost more predictable. If the call volume decreases once the pandemic is over, <br />the City has the ability to reduce the number of bundles purchased. Telecom taxes and <br />fees are dependent on the number and duration of calls and difficult to predict. The annual <br />not to exceed amount estimates the worst case, high call scenario. <br />The current agreement for telecom services expires in March 2021. If this item is not <br />approved, it would severely impact City operations. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds in the amount of $50,000 are budgeted and available in the current fiscal year <br />Communications account (10920140-62010) and will be budgeted in future fiscal years. <br />Funds in the amount of $18,000 are budgeted and available in the current fiscal year <br />Communications account (10920140-62010). <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
