Summary: Staff is requesting the approval to transfer jurisdiction and control of a 7,217 square foot, City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) property interest, currently residing within the Harbor District, located on Channel Street west of Pacific Avenue (Subject Property), to the General Services Department (GSD) of the City of Los Angeles (City).

Transmittal 3
Transmittal 4
Summary: Staff is requesting approval of an 18-month extension to two State of California, California Network 3 (CALNET 3) Authorizations to Order (ATOs) with AT&T Corporation (AT&T). The two ATOs were approved originally by the Board of Harbor Commissioners on June 8, 2015 for a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions (Agreement No. 15-3333). The current ATOs expire on June 30, 2020. The State of California recently extended the ATOs by 18 months, which allows the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (Harbor Department) to similarly extend its ATOs for the same period. AT&T was awarded participation in the CALNET 3 contract after a competitive procurement process conducted by the State of California’s Department of Technology. AT&T is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with offices in Los Angeles, California. These ATOs enable the Harbor Department to order telecommunications products and services at the reduced rates negotiated by the State with AT&T. Authorization of the proposed ATO extensions do not represent a funding commitment as funding for the telecommunication products and services purchased under the ATOs is authorized as part of the annual budget adoption process. Payment of expenses incurred are the financial responsibility of the Harbor Department.
Recommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental Management has determined that the proposed action is administratively exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Article II Section 2(f) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) find that in accordance with Administrative Code Section 10.15(8), the competitive contracting requirement is met using the responses from the State of California’s Request for Qualification Proposal (RFQP) solicitation (RFQP 12-001), which resulted in the State of California’s Office of Technology Services CALNET 3 Statewide Contract A (SWC-A), C3-A-12-10-TS-01 and Statewide Contract B (SWC-B), C3-B-12-10-TS-01; (3) approve the 18-month extension of the two Authorizations to Order with AT&T for the acquisition of telecommunications utility services for the length of the CALNET 3 contract, which upon approval by the Los Angeles City Council, the effective date of the extension of the two ATOs shall be retroactive from July 1, 2020 to Dec 31, 2021; (4) authorize the Chief Information Officer for the Harbor Department or his designee to be the Harbor Department’s authorized signatory for ordering services through CALNET 3; (5) direct the Board Secretary to transmit the underlying Authorizations to Order with AT&T to the Los Angeles City Council for approval of the extensions pursuant to Section 373 of the Charter of the City of Los Angeles and Section 10.5 of the Los Angeles Administrative Code; and (6) adopt Resolution No.____________.
