| | | | | | | | Background:
Cologix Minneapolis, LLC is a fiber optics communications company that fulfills a critical role in the county’s overall network infrastructure. Cologix owns or controls fiber optic cables and equipment in the 511 Building, a central fiber distribution hub for downtown Minneapolis. This facility houses and connects different entities across the area, as well as to services from external vendors. The county uses this location to facilitate its internet access connections and other critical services with partners.
The 511 Building has been a large investment for the county as it builds fiber links to and from this location. The county will continue to use this facility while building fiber infrastructure to be less reliant on it, however, as the central Minneapolis fiber corridor, it would not be cost effective to abandon partner connections via this location. Previous Board Resolution 11-0039 approved the original contract A110030, and Amendment 1 was approved via Resolution 12-0321.
