Clay County selects BluePeak for county building internet service
Summary
Commissioners approved a contract for internet service after staff presented competing quotes; staff recommended BluePeak (1 Gbps, $125/month) citing speed and month-to-month termination terms and commissioners approved the selection.
Clay County commissioners voted to approve the county’s internet service contract with BluePeak following staff review of competitive quotes.
Staff presented three options: a BluePeak 1-gigabit symmetric service at $125 per month with no equipment fee and a $100 installation charge and month-to-month cancellation; Midco proposals at lower speeds with multi-term price breaks; and other options that offered different price/term tradeoffs. Staff recommended BluePeak for its higher symmetric speed and simpler termination terms.
A commissioner moved and seconded approval of the BluePeak service; the motion carried on an affirmative voice vote. Staff said fiber would be brought into the building by the provider and that Midco’s pricing varied by contract length; the meeting record includes no amendment to the vendor terms.
The county will complete contract paperwork and schedule installation with the selected provider.
