Liberty County approves dedicated internet service for new Northwest Annex
Summary
At a special Liberty County Commissioners Court meeting, commissioners approved a contract with Northwest NX for dedicated internet service to the county's Northwest Annex: a 250-by-250 circuit with a $150 setup fee and $934 monthly recurring charge, paid from the county's ISP funds.
Liberty County Commissioners Court on an unspecified May date approved a contract with Northwest NX to provide dedicated internet service to the county's new Northwest Annex.
Nick, an IT staff member, told the court the service is “for our new Northwest Annex. They're getting close, and we gotta start getting Internet supply to the building. And this is gonna be a 2 50 by 2 50 circuit. Business class does everything we need for that location.” The contract as described in the meeting includes a one-time setup fee of $150 and a recurring charge of $934 per month.
County officials said the expense will be covered from the county's ISP funds used for internet service across county buildings, rather than the building fund. Commissioner Bruce moved to approve the contract; Commissioner David seconded. The court voted in favor; presiding members responded “aye” and the motion carried.
The contract will provide a dedicated 250-by-250 circuit (as stated in the meeting) and is intended to establish business-class connectivity for the Northwest Annex before the building opens. No vendor contract number, start date for service, or further implementation timeline was specified at the meeting.
The court did not record any dissenting votes or abstentions during the roll call on the item.
