Council OKs staff authority to sign short-term Bluebird Fiber contract for Crestview tower
Summary
At a March 3 workshop, the council authorized staff to have a city employee sign a three-year contract with Bluebird Fiber to manage fiber service to Crestview Water Tower, after staff said a time-limited offer would preserve a lower monthly rate.
The Washington City Council on March 3 approved a motion authorizing staff to execute a short-term agreement with Bluebird Fiber for the fiber feed to the Crestview Water Tower so the city can manage the connection directly and preserve a quoted rate.
The action came after city staff described a time-sensitive offer from Bluebird. Kevin (staff member) told the council the vendor quoted $600 per month for city-managed service and that the city’s historic payment had been about $17.50 a month. He said Bluebird would hold the lower rate if the city signed a contract by March 15 and that the price would be fixed for three years under that agreement.
