Open Agenda
Approve the First Amendment to Agreement with Cirpass, LLC.
In 2009 a RFP was issued to invite potential commercial partners lease excess capacity of the District's Educational Broadband Service (EBS) spectrum. One response to the RFP was received from Clearwire, but the amount offered to SBBC was too low to consider for a long term lease, as it was considerably below industry standards. SBBC entered into an agreement with Cirpass LLC to work on our behalf to increase the offer, on a contingency basis if successful. After may months of negotiations with potential leasees, an agreement was not reached, and the RFP was closed out with being awarded. The District feels the timing is right to once again solicit offers for leasing excess capacity, however, the terms of the Cirpass agreement from 2010 no longer meet our needs. This first amendment will operate in conjunction with the new agreement II-5 with Select Spectrum is a companion item.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.
There is no financial impact.
