Finance & Governance Committee - 10/28/2025 - Agenda Item D3 - Frontier

The City of Oxnard's Finance & Governance Committee discussed a procurement request to authorize a three-year agreement with Frontier Communications for telephone services, not to exceed $524,605. This contract aims to replace the existing service provided under the state's Calnet contract, which is sunsetting and will result in increased costs for POTS lines. The city currently uses 265 POTS lines, and the new agreement offers fixed pricing over 36 months, mitigating anticipated cost fluctuations. Funding for this contract is included in the IT department's fiscal year 2025-26 budget, with future funding to be addressed in subsequent budget processes.
