An increase of the purchase order is needed to purchase and install new modems for LED signs used by the District.

Verizon, the current service provider, will shutter its 3G service on December 31, 2022 at which point the signs will be offline. New modems are required to switch to 4G.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute a change order to increase the purchase order in an amount of $9,800.00 (approximately 326.7% of the current purchase order value) from an amount of $3,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $12,800.00
