Increase the upset limit to the agreement with Frontier Communications  
of America, Inc. for 911 network services.  
Approval of the increase to the upset limit with Frontier Communications, Inc. of  
America for 911 network services.  
Recommendation:  
* Frontier Communication of America, Inc. provides networks for interconnecting 911  
Public Safety Answering Points throughout the County.  
* Increase to the contract is for payment of all invoices from February 2022 through the  
end of the contract duration - May 5, 2022.  
* The requested increase is primarily due to unexpected technical issues with Legacy  
firewalls that caused several months of delays in the cross-over from the old network to  
the new network and having to run both networks side by side for longer than  
anticipated; additionally, the price of services for the new network resulted in a higher  
cost than originally calculated by the department.  
* This contract was originally awarded by the Purchasing Director on February 6, 2017,  
in the amount of $366,720.00 for a sixty-month term. Seven change orders have been  
processed increasing the contract to provide for additional services.  
Contract No. 167-0161-Q(AJM) increase in the amount of $146,725.55 for a revised  
total contract value of $1,630,782.28, effective through May 5, 2022.

amount of $2,771,079.25.

Inliner, LLC.  
* Depending on timing of work, we may have to reconcile the Sewer Renewal and

County Commissioners (Board), the Chairman or Clerk will call on each individual, one by one, to be heard.  
Each individual may speak for up to three minutes as may be modified by the Chairman. Comments or  
behavior that violate Pinellas County Commission Public Participation and Decorum Rules will be  
disconnected. Members of the public who cannot attend at the time an agenda item is before the Board may

available at www.pinellascounty.org/BCC_Participation.htm or by calling (727) 464-4400.  
Public Hearing Procedures  
The procedure used by the Board in conducting Public Hearings is to have a staff presentation followed by the  
applicant presenting the specific proposal. The Board will then hear comments from the proponents, the  
opponents and a staff summary. The applicant will then be given an opportunity to close and the Board will  
decide on the matter. Public Hearings before the Board are governed by the provisions of Section 134 -14 of  
the Pinellas County Land Development Code as may be modified by Pinellas County Emergency Order. That  
code provides that at the conclusion of each person’s presentation, any speaker may seek the Chairman’s  
permission to ask questions of staff.  
Specifically:  
1. At the conclusion of the presentations by the applicant and any proponents, all affected parties may  
seek the Chairman’s permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from the applicant and/or the  
proponents.  
2. At the conclusion of the presentation by the opponents, all affected parties may seek the Chairman’s  
permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from any opponent.  
The applicant’s closing comments will address testimony subsequent to his or her presentation. Continuing  
rebuttal of other than directly preceding testimony will not be allowed. Because much testimony has already  
been submitted in writing, the following guidelines accommodate efficient presentations:  
1. The applicant should present his or her entire case, including rebuttal, in no more than 20 minutes.  
2. Persons wishing to speak regarding a Public Hearing item may speak for up to three minutes each.  
3. Persons wishing to attend virtually must preregister at pinellascounty.org/comment by 5 p. m. the day  
before the meeting.

proceeding is made, which includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.  
If a Board meeting beginning at 9:30 A.M. has not concluded by noon, a recess will be taken from noon to
