INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
The Honorable Mayor&Members of the City Commission
Steven Alexander, City Manager
Agenda Item No.: 8 May 17,2016
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a
Letter of Authorization (LOA) with Sprint Solutions to
piggyback onto Sprint's multi-year agreement with the State of
Florida for communications service.
The Procurement Division continually analyzes existing programs for
cost reductions and has identified a cost savings opportunity for the
City's wireless telephone and air card services.
The City entered into a piggyback agreement with Sprint Solutions, Inc.,
through a government agency, Western States contracting Alliance,
0NSCA), and the State of Florida "Participating State" Contract No.
DMS-I2I13-009 for wireless telephone and air card service, authorized
under Resolution No. 34-13-13852. In addition to the WSCA agreement
offered through the State of Florida, the State issued an Invitation to
Negotiate for mobile services and subsequently created State Contract
No. DMS-I 0-1 1-008B.
For those agencies like South Miami who are contracted under the
WSCA agreement for mobile services, those agencies have the option of
continuing with WSCA or, transfer to the State of Florida Contract. In
2016, Sprint and the State of Florida negotiated lower rate plans that
make it advantageous for the City to transfer to the State contract. By
moving to the State contract, the City will save approximately $1,000 per
month realizing an annual savings of $12,000 when compared with
current costs.
The terms and conditions are essentially the same; agencies may cancel
service at any time without penalty, replacement phones every 18
months; with the exception of the billing cycle. The WSCA contract
invoices one month ahead whereas the State contract invoices in arrears;
thereby having a positive effect on cash flow.
There are no reported service issues or significant interruptions to the
Sprint mobile telephone or air card services.

disclosed in connection with the Location Based Service. ONLY TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED
BY LAW, CUSTOMER WILL RELEASE SERVICE PROVIDER FROM ANY AND ALL
TIIIRD PARTY CLAIMS, LOSSES, EXPENSES, DEMANDS, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF

Networks, End User must provide information about the account with the other carrier, such as
the account number, tax identification number, telephone number, 5 digit zip code and password,
if applicable, and purchase wireless Products from Service Provider. Until the port from the
previous carrier is successful, the Service Provider wireless Product will only be able to call 911
and Sprint Customer Care. Once the port is completed, End User's old device will no longer
work. However, due to system liroitations and issues outside Service Provider's control, some
requests to port a telephone number from another carrier to Service Provider, or from Service
Provider to another carrier, may not be successful. If a transfer to Service Provider is not
successful, the End User may return any Service Provider wireless Products within the return
period to receive a credit, and Customer will lose or repay to Service Provider any discounts or
service credits provided with a returned Service Provider wireless Product or cancelled N extel

Product used, lack of a GPS-enabled device, geography or other factors such as the porting
process. In some areas and depending on the equipment deployed by the local public safety
answering point ("PSAP"), 911 calls may be routed to a state patrol dispatcher instead of the local
PSAP. Pursuant to Section 365.172(11) of the Florida Statutes, Service Provider is not liable for
failures or delays in connecting to the appropriate emergency services provider. Enhanced 911
("E911") service that is compatible with FCC technical requirements is not available in all areas
due to PSAP equipment capabilities. Customer consents to Service Provider's disclosure of
Customer information to governmental and public safety authorities in response to emergencies.
This information may include, but is not limited to, Customer's name, address, number, and the

Wireless Products may not be compatible with services provided by other wireless carriers,
except for services provided over Sprint Service Provider Affiliate networks or in connection
with Roaming agreements. Service Provider does not guarantee current or future compatibility of
wireless Products or Services with third party products or Applications. Apparent compatibility or
notice from Service Provider of compatibility is not a Service Provider endorsement of a third
party product or Application. Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, Sprint may, in its sole
discretion and at any time, disable or discontinue use of any third party product or Application
with the wireless Products or Services.

reasonable marmer and will, throughout the process, provide its customers with periodic updates
that provide relevant information.
As part of such technology evolution, Service Provider must reserve the right to migrate
Customer from Products activated on the Nextel National Network to either a Sprint Direct
Connect push-to-talk ("PIT") Product, or a Customer-selected non-PTT Product, that runs on
the Nationwide Sprint Network; provided that Service Provider will not undertake any such
migration with less than 12 months prior notice. Because there will be at least 12 months prior
notice, in almost every instance Customer will have the abiiity to upgrade its existing devices to
new or replacement devices under the then applicable Service Provider handset upgrade program.
If the Customer has any devices that are not eligible for upgrade under tbis handset upgrade
program and the Customer must migrate its existing Products activated on the Nextel National
Network, Service Provider will permit the parties current upgrade policy to apply to such existing
Products and permit the Customer to upgrade at the then existing upgrade costs to devices that are
compatible with the replacement technologies. If Service Provider exercises its right to migrate
Customer to a new technology under this provision, upon completion of such migration, the terms
and provisions of this Agreement related solely to the Nextel products and service will terminate.

The Schools and Libraries Program of the federal Universal Service Fund, commonly known as
"E-Rate," is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), through its
Schools and Libraries Division (SLD), under the direction of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The program provides discounts to assist most schools and libraries in the
United States to obtain affordable eligible telecommunications, Internet access, and internal
connections. SUNCOM Clients who have applied for E-Rate funding for eligible services and
equipment from Service Provider are referred to herein as "E-Rate SUNCOM Clients."
Service Provider must have obtained or applied to obtain a Service Provider Identification
Number (SPIN) from USAC prior to execution of the Agreement and shall provide relevant
SPIN(s) to the Department. Service Provider also is required to submit a Service Provider Annual
Certification (SPAC) (Form 473) to USAC each funding year to certify that it will comply with
E-Rate rules and regulations. Service Provider shall maintain eligibility as an E-Rate service
provider and shall avoid being placed on Red Light status by the FCC for the duration of the
Agreement.
During the term of the Agreement, Service Provider shall be required to take all appropriate
action to provide services in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and E-
Rate rules and regulations. If Service Provider becomes ineligible as an E-Rate service provider

services in compliance with the Agreement and E-Rate rules and regulations, the D~partment and
its E-Rate SUNCOM Clients shall change service providers and, if applicable, seek substitute
services in accordance with applicable E-Rate rules and procedures. If during the term of the

ineligible as an E-Rate service provider, becomes unwilling or unable to provide E-Rate eligible
services in compliance with E-Rate rules and regulations or the Agreement, or violates E-Rate
rules and regulations in a way that causes USAC to deny E-Rate SUNCOM Clients funding in
whole or in part, the following shall apply:
A. Service Provider shall be liable for the actual direct damages incurred by the Department
and any affected E-Rate SUNCOM Clients that have complied with the applicable E-Rate
rules and regulations.

providers and seek substitute services pursuant to the above paragraph, direct
Contract No.: DMS IO/1l-008B Page 28 of32
damages shall include but not be limited to any aJ1)ounts paid to the substituted
service provider above Service Provider's price under this Agreement. In the
event the Department or such E-Rate SUNCOM Clients are unable to obtain
USAC approval to change to the new provider as a provider under E-Rate rules
and such USAC denial is a result of Service Provider's intentional acts, gross
negligence or willful misconduct, Service Provider will also be liable for the
amount of E-Rate funding forfeited as a result.
2. Service Provider shall continue to provide the affected services to the
Department and any affected E-Rate SUNCOM Client until such time as the
Department and any affected E-Rate SUNCOM Client obtains services from a
new service provider as set forth above (Transition Period). If the Department or
E-Rate SUNCOM Clients are unable to obtain E-Rate funding for the Service
Provider services for the Transition Period as a result of Service Provider's
intentional acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Department and E-
Rate SUNCOM Client will not be responsible to pay Service Provider for the
amounts left unfunded by E-Rate for that Transition Period.
3. If Service Provider violation of the E-Rate rules and regulations is a reason for E-
Rate SUNCOM Clients' loss or forfeiture ofE-Rate funding, in whole or in part,
the value of the lost funding associated with Service Provider violation will be
considered direct damage under this subparagraph (i)A.
Any damages paid for by the Service Provider in relation to Sections A (1-3) above, shall
be limited to each individual SUNCOM Client's total net payments for the affected
Services purchased in the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.
Additionally, in no event shall Service Provider be liable for direct damages as set forth
in I. or 3. above or be required to perform as set forth in 2. above, beyond the last day of
the E-Rate funding year in which Service Provider becomes ineligible as a provider under
E-Rate, becomes unwilling or unable to provide E-Rate eligible services in compliance
with E-Rate rules and regulations or the Agreement, or violates E-Rate rules and
regulations in a way that causes USAC to deny E-Rate SUNCOM Clients funding in
whole or in part.
In addition, for purposes of clarification and to avoid confusion, the Department will not
hold Service Provider responsible and Service Provider will not be liable pursuant to
subparagraph A. above, if Service Provider becomes ineligible as an E-Rate provider
during the term of the Agreement, becomes unwilling or unable to provide E-Rate
eligible services in compliance with E-Rate rules and regulations or the Agreement, or
violates E-Rate rules and regulations in a way that causes USAC to deny E-Rate
SUNCOM Clients funding in whole or in part, due to circumstances that are determined
to be beyond Service Provider's control.
B. Invoicing. The Department acknowledges that it has posted an E-Rate Form 470 in
connection with the procurement, which is a prerequisite to E-Rate eligible entities
