NETWORK SOLUTIONS (INTERNET COLOCATION) - LEGACY

Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee · 2026-04-15 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-389-26, approving the award of a non-competitive legacy contract (L-10560) for Integrated Network Solutions to Equinix, Inc. The contract is valued at $3,655,140.00 for an initial three-year term with one two-year option to renew. This contract provides colocation space for the County's technology network infrastructure, ensuring secure and reliable internet and communication services for the Communications, Information and Technology Department. The decision was made because alternative options would involve significant delays, service disruptions, and high unbudgeted expenses. Market research, including RFIs sent to over 472 vendors, yielded no viable competitive responses. Equinix, Inc. is the selected vendor due to its existing infrastructure at the Nap of the Americas, which offers direct underground network connections and a robust network of Tier-1 ISPs, ensuring high availability and security.
