Unified Network - One TIme vs Recurring Costs
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Department of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) received a request to provide details of one time versus recurring costs related to the Unified Network initiative. In circuit costs, the recurring cost breakdown is: School foundation (SF): $3.4 million per biennium
General fund (GF): $3.4 million per biennium
That said, we anticipate approximately $1.4 million per biennium for each funding source in increase over existing costs. Please keep in mind the $1.4 million on the SF side is before considering the Federal E-Rate reimbursements, if that program continues. In terms of hardware replacement, replacement costs will vary slightly based on the likely reduced prices for this technology 30 months from now, but current rates would be: School foundation (SF): approximately $200,000 annually General fund (GF): approximately $360,000 annually The GF amount will vary depending on future decisions regarding the Emerson Data Center, movement elsewhere in the State etc., but those variation would be presented in any discussions prior to the decision to decentralize services outside of Cheyenne. |
