Type and Scope of services to be performed:
The City entered into a cable franchise agreement with Lumen (f/k/a CenturyLink) on April 21, 2015. The City and Lumen agree it is in their best interests to amend the current agreement to change the term end date and incorporate service terms into a new agreement that specify Lumen investing in digital equity in the Denver community through its business relationship with the City.
The amendment terminates the franchise agreement provision of Prism cable television service nationwide; and in consideration for the City’s agreed-upon termination of the Agreement and in acknowledgment of the City’s lost revenue, the Grantee shall remit a one-time payment of One Hundred Twelve Thousand Dollars to the City to be used for PEG programming and to support the City’s community media access and outreach program. The Grantee shall also enter into a separate agreement with the City to provide four years of gratis community-focused internet services, which will execute in conjunction with the termination of this Agreement.
