Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the filing of a Notice of Completion for the Network Fiber Connectivity at the Visalia Animal Care Center, CP0768, and appropriate an additional $27,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund.
Background Discussion:
The project expanded the City's existing fiber optic infrastructure to the Visalia Animal Care Center to provide reliable network connectivity to the City's computer network resources. The Visalia Animal Care Center has been using a wireless microwave point to point connection since its construction in 2015. This connection has been unreliable, requiring frequent repairs impacting computer, internet, phone and day to day operations.
