The minutes were approved as read.
BID RESULTS FOR TOWER RENTAL AND WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE:
Ron Robinson wanted to give the Committee an update on the proposal to lease water
tower space to supply high speed wireless intemet to the residents of Yorkville. Three
companies had come in to request a RFP. There were two site visitations to the water
tower and two wireless ISPs came to the two different stations. On March 8, 2006 at
10:00 p.m. Eric Dhuse and Ron Robinson opened the sealed bids. Only one bid was
obtained from an ISP provider, and unfortunately, it was incomplete. It did not have a
bid. Ron Robinson does know that this company, PDQ Link, who submitted the
proposal, is very interested and may have just overlooked putting in the bid. Ron
Robinson will contact the city attorney to see if we are able to contact this company to
get more information and clarification. Ron Robinson has worked with this company
before in the past where they have proposed to do bartering with the city. We cannot
change the requirements if they are proposing bartering again, but with the attorney's
approval we can proceed with adding a bid amount.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS:
The next Ad-Hoe Technology meeting date will be April 11, 2006.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
