Summary

Council approved a $29,500 contract with KCOM Technologies for antenna and conduit installation on city towers to improve redundancy in the city's fiber communications and support a backup wireless network; work is expected by November 2025.

Staff recommended awarding a $29,500 contract to KCOM Technologies of Bartonville to install antenna and conduit on city towers, part of efforts to improve redundancy in the city's fiber system and support a backup wireless communications network. "Installed conduit will protect current antenna cables and support future equipment upgrades," Hansen said.

The project received a low responsive bid from KCOM; staff said funding is available in the IT general fund. The council asked no substantive questions and voted to approve the contract, with work expected to be completed by November 2025.
