FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JUNE 3, 2025
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF FIBER CONNECT PLUS TV AND FIBER INTERNET
BUNDLE PACKAGE FOR THE REC
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of the purchase of Spectrum Fiber
Connect Plus TV services and Fiber Internet Bundle Package for The
REC with Charter Communications Holding for the Parks and Recreation
and Information Technology Departments.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Parks Department) for an
estimated amount of $32,400.
BACKGROUND: This request is to purchase Spectrum Fiber Connect Plus TV for The REC
and a 10GB Fiber Internet circuit that will be used to help improve guest
Wi-fi for The REC, Oak Grove Baseball, and Softball fields.
Currently The REC's television service is through Frontier TV, but Frontier
is phasing out its TV services. Our staff has encountered difficulties
receiving adequate support from Frontier when equipment fails.
Spectrum's Fiber Connect Plus TV service allows for reduced
maintenance and administrative management as it is delivered directly to
TVs over existing wiring, without the need of a set -top box.
This procurement will be made in accordance with Local Government
Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, § 252.022. General Exemptions (a) (4),
personal, professional or planning services.
Staff recommends approval.
