Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution amends Resolution No. RS2025-1228, which amended a grant from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development to the Information Technology Services Department to provide services related to the Broadband Connected Community Facilities program. RS2025-1228, amended Resolution RS2024-877 which approved the grant. After the Council approved RS2024-877, the Metro-signed copy of the grant contract was returned unsigned by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development with several requested changes. The revised grant contract was approved via RS2025-1228.
This amendment alters several line item expenses, consisting of increased construction costs, decreased architecture and engineering fees, increased professional fees, decreased supply costs, and removing a capital purchase. The grant amount and local cash match remain the same. The grant expires on October 31, 2026.
