Project Overview <br /> The San Leandro Smart City Initiative recognizes the critical role of <br /> government in developing and maintaining a healthy, connected <br /> ecosystem in which its residents, businesses and visitors can <br /> thrive. Building on the Lit San Leandro (LitSL) public/private °IVRARV <br /> partnership that has created an existing and expanding 10-gigabit u Q w u <br /> fiber optic network, San Leandro is poised to leverage that digital _ u u �■■��- <br /> infrastructure to transform our City into a vibrant digital society. GIGABIT NEIGHBORHOOD <br /> San Leandro possesses the critical ingredients required for <br /> creating a model, sustainable and digitally connected City: <br /> • Leaders who inspire and pursue economic, social and environmental sustainability; <br /> • A city government, business leaders, and community residents who collaborate to identify solutions; <br /> • A proven ability to leverage existing resources through innovation and technology to improve services <br /> and reduce costs; and <br /> • A commitment to intentionally nurture an engaged and vibrant digital society that strengthens our <br /> social capital and stimulates digital inclusion. <br /> The digital foundation we've laid to date includes: <br /> • Development of a public/private partnership, called Lit t ! <br /> San Leandro (LitSQ, that created an 11.5 mile, 10 • <br /> gigabit per second fiber optic network to stimulate <br /> economic development and create jobs. <br /> • An additional $4.2 million investment by the Economic Development Administration and the City <br /> of San Leandro added 7.5 miles of new conduit to the City's fiber optic infrastructure in 2014. <br /> • Over 140 businesses, co-working and incubator spaces in two cities (San Leandro and Berkeley) are <br /> now connected to the LitSL network, totaling 3 million square feet (s.f.) of commercial building space. <br /> • Attraction of hundreds of thousands of dollars of reinvestment into a former Dodge/Chrysler <br /> automotive plant to create a 350,000 s.f. technology center for advanced manufacturing, known as <br /> "The Gate". The Gate, connected to LitSL in May of 2013 and only one-third leased, today is almost <br /> fully leased with an average 50% increase in new lease rates. The recent launch of the Bay Area <br /> Advanced Manufacturing (BAAM) hub at The Gate represents the largest collaborative hub of 3D <br /> printing-related companies under one roof anywhere in the world. <br /> • Tour of The Gate by Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer and Congresswoman Barbara Lee in October 2014 <br /> in recognition of The Gate as a model for the creation of new manufacturing jobs for <br /> Americans and hope for restoring the American middle class. <br /> • Partnership with U.S. Ignite, a White House program with a mission to "ignite" the WSJ <br /> development and deployment of new gigabit apps designed to have a profound impact on <br /> how Americans work, live, learn and play. In a 2013 competition sponsored by Ignite's <br /> partner, Mozilla Ignite, the City's team took a first place prize in a gigabit fiber application: Remote <br /> Process Control. <br /> • Recognition of San Leandro's digital and economic transformation through dozens of publications, <br /> including the Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Business Times, Fortune, CBS News, Forbes <br /> and many others. Lit San Leandro received a 2013 "Real Estate Deal of the Year Award" by the San <br /> Francisco Business Times in the category of"Infrastructure/Public-Private Partnerships". <br /> • Partnership with OSIsoft to enable transparency of building HVAC and utility data for all municipal <br /> facilities, providing tools to increase building energy efficiencies and reduce costs. <br /> 4ESAN<F9 <br /> do <br /> CAPORRiEO\g^ <br />
