Committee renews VETRO fiber-mapping software for $24,200
Summary
The committee approved a $24,200 annual renewal for VETRO software used to map and document the city—s fiber-optic network; staff said the contract is budgeted in IT maintenance and represents about a 10% increase over last year.
The Tuscaloosa City Public Works Committee approved a $24,200 professional services renewal with VETRO for the city—s fiber network mapping software.
Staff said the software documents the physical locations of fiber and records detailed connection data down to individual fiber strands and splice points. They described thousands of data points that must be maintained to track how the network flows throughout the city. The renewal is annual and budgeted in the IT maintenance budget; staff said this was roughly a 10% increase from the previous year and that the vendor committed not to exceed that increase.
Committee members asked whether the price and contract structure were what staff expected; staff said this was an expected, budgeted expense and that this was the third year the city had used the software.
The committee moved, seconded and approved the renewal by voice vote.
