STAFF MEMO �
Meeting: Regular Council -Jul 09 2020
Staff Contact: Brad Gomberg, Director of IT Department: IT
Approval to Change Voice Service Providers
Currently, the Village's voice services are provided by Windstream Communications. Our contract
with Windstream will be expiring shortly and as such, I have shopped the market in an attempt to
obtain a more desirable price point for The Village of Tequesta. The proposals I received are attached
for your review. My recommendation is to port our services over to New Horizon Communications
(NHC) who was the lowest of three bids. NHC delivers a savings to the Village of roughly $28,000
over the 3-year term. The Village will maintain all existing numbers and will not lose any functionality
as a result of migrating to the new provider. The total 3 year cost of this proposal is approximately
$37,895.40 without regulatory taxes and fees. Thank you for your consideration of this item.
Current service - $23,000 Annually (Approx.)
New Service - $13,800 Annually (Approx.)
Approve the change to New Horizon Communications for voice services

migration process or after NHC has assumed billing, it is discovered the lines have additional features and/or are of another class of service (for example
Centrex lines, Metro Lines, Remote Call Forward, Resale Trunk Lines, etc) will be priced at NHC posted or tariffed rates. Migrating existing service to NHC,

per minute. All newVoice Hosted PBX and Connect incurs an overage charge on bundles of .029 per minute. NHC in its sole discretion reserves the right to
ensure that services are used by the customer for normal day to day business use. Instances of abuse would include but are not limited to, call centers,
voice/fax dialers, telecom carrier applications, etc. NHC in its sole discretion reserves the right to ensure that services are used by the customer for normal
