B. AGR1083-24 Contract for General Services, Agreement No. AGR 24-46b with Bonfire Fiber LLC in the Amount of $15,900,000, plus Applicable Gross Receipts Tax, for the Purpose of Managing the Fiber-to-the-Premise Open Access Network
Chair Derkacs and Councilors, I propose that we delay a decision on this contract by at least 6 months until we better understand what LANL funding will look like under our new government, and the consequential reduction in NMGRT from LANL to LAC. It seems there are possibilities that DOGE will reduce funding, plus there are thoughts that all non-pit work might be relocated from Los Alamos. Thank you.
I oppose approval without any serious attempt at engaging public discussion and input. I emailed the Council to explain my concerns and suggest the need for public engagement prior to taking action.
Opposed for the reason that this is a significant outlay of funds that needs more time to be reviewed by the tax payers.
