Initiated By: Dana McDaniel, Deputy City Manager /Director of Economic Development
Re: Resolution 69 -13 – Indefeasible Right to Use (IRU) Agreement with Washington
Township
Summary
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution 69 -13, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an
IRU Agreement (Enclosure 1) with Washington Township. Washington Township desires to lease
the City's optical fiber system for the purpose of operating and managing its own data service
needs. Washington Township recognizes the significant value that this unique infrastructure
provides and the manner in which it will enhance its own operations not only for data, voice and
video services, but also for off -site data storage and access to cloud computing. The Township will
also experience some cost avoidance and system enhancements by operating their own fiber
system. As a result of this lease, Washington Township and the City of Dublin will have the
opportunity to interconnect with each other for the purpose of eliminating certain T -1 lines used
for station alerting and to provide better interconnection to support dispatching services. The City
also has police substations within certain fire stations and this connectivity will improve the City's
communications and data service, as well.
Washington Township intends to lease 1 pair (2 optical fibers) from the City's Dublink system at
the rate of $1,750 /month. Staff recommends the term of this Agreement be a five (5) year lease
period with an option to renew for an additional five (5) year term for a total of ten (10) years.
Washington Township is responsible to extend all necessary laterals to the Dublink system and to
provide all equipment to operate the fiber and to provide maintenance of their own portions of the
system at its own expense. The $1,750 /month represents a discounted rate compared to other
leases ($3,000 /month per fiber optic pair) because of the benefits the City will incur and
interconnection for dispatching.
Background
The City of Dublin possesses 96 or 48 pair of optical fibers within its DubLink conduit system. The
following shows the amount of optical fiber owned by the City and its current allocation:
