Common use of Bandwidth Clause in Contracts

Bandwidth. MCLS will monitor digital transmission bandwidth and will distribute monthly reports to the member library directors. Library Automation Services (LAS) has discretion to increase bandwidth based on its monitoring of digital transmission services. Any library using more than 80% of its bandwidth capacity throughout the day for a consistent 30-day period may request additional bandwidth. A member library request for additional bandwidth without a recommendation from LAS requires a review of the request be conducted and determination made by the SSOC. The review requires documentation by LAS and the member library that bandwidth is being used for direct patron services. The MCLS Director reserves the right to approve, without SSOC review, additional bandwidth for a member if it is clear the library meets the criteria stated above. Bandwidth will be increased based on capacity in the current digital transmission contract and available MCLS operational funding.
