Title: Gary, Indiana Fiber and Broadband Partnership

Background: Technology Procurement

As part of the the City of Gary's mission statement to provide fiscally sound, responsive municipal services and deliver those services equitably and integrity, the City of Gary is working with Marketplace.city for the sourcing and procurement of a suitable broadband partner(s).

For this project, Marketplace.city has worked with City stakeholders to understand the market landscape of companies, solutions, and comparable implementations, and is managing the procurement process. The City of Gary then leverages Marketplace.city's process and expertise to select the provider that best fits their need.

This process helps the City of Gary achieve the goals to use technology to best serve its citizens while providing speed, efficiency and transparency throughout the process.
