Contract Control Number: PO-00096415
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Verizon Wireless
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
This request is to procure annual wireless services from Verizon Wireless. Verizon is the cellular services vendor for 94% of all City cellular devices. The City currently has over 5000 cellular devices (smart phones, data plans, mifi / wireless router devices). Verizon provides 4700 of those devices. The devices are used throughout all City agencies for various reasons. Some examples are as follows:
• Phones are provided to Police Personnel for citizen contact.
• Denver Human Services provides case workers cellular devices for citizen contact in remote locations.
• Parks & Rec uses cellular devices for to reach their Park Rangers and citizen contact
• Technology Services uses cellular devices for remote and after-hours support.
These are just a few examples of how various agencies use cellular phones, hot spots and data plans.
The City uses Verizon due to network reliability and bandwidth as well as features that Verizon is able to provide at no additional fee. The Public Safety plan has the majority of Verizon provided City phones automatically enrolled with Wireless Priority Service. This feature is used in the event of an emergency and all cellular bandwidth is over saturated. The City phones will take priority of all other calls allowing City personnel to stay in contact with one another during the emergency. The City also has plans with AT&T and Sprint that are used as backup carriers and in areas that Verizon coverage is not adequate.
