Inter Agency Agreement Signed Between CDT and the City of Sacramento

CA Dept of Technology: We are pleased to announce that on April 18th Inter Agency Agreement (IAA) has been signed by all parties between California Department of Technology (CDT) and the City of Sacramento! The IAA will extend CDT’s Fiber Ring Service (FRS) to the City of Sacramento’s fiber network. This agreement will replace leased, vendor provided, critical network FRS circuits with city fiber, saving CDT approximately $20,000 per month. Although CDT was required to initially spend approximately $117,000 to build out seven sites, the cost will be recouped in less than 6 months once the CDT vendor fiber contracts are terminated. In return, CDT will become the Internet Service Provider (ISP) for the City of Sacramento, allowing the city to eliminate costly vendor-provided ISP services. This agreement is an example of two government organizations working together to provide cost savings to California.
