Further, the wireless access point will be painted to match the sign so there will be no <br />visible changes in appearance. <br />Community Development entered into negotiations with the owner of Pelton Plaza on a <br />public-private partnership to develop and install this critical infrastructure to extend the fiber <br />optic loop. Those negotiations culminated in an agreement with the Pelton Plaza ownership, <br />that was based on the City’s existing Broadband Connection incentive program. The owners <br />would grant the City an exclusive license to maintain a wireless network on the property and <br />the property owner would obtain a forgivable loan that obligates the property owners to build, <br />grant, and maintain City access. <br />IT Staff found that Ruckus wireless devices are best-in-class for outdoor wireless networks, <br />and recommended to the property owner that SmartWAVE Technologies, which specializes in <br />professional consulting on the design, installation and management of such devices and <br />networks, should do the consulting, design and installation work. SmartWAVE installed the <br />City of San Jose’s outdoor wireless system in 2012. <br />Legal Analysis <br />The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed and approved the agreements and contracts. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The total cost of the project is estimated to be $68,390.00. <br />Connecting the existing fiber loop to the Pelton Plaza sign is estimated to cost $37,974.00. <br />Installing the wireless network after this connection is made will cost $30,416.00. The network <br />will be operated by the City’s IT Staff and includes a 5-year maintenance agreement with no <br />additional annual costs. <br />The total cost of $68,390.00 is recommended to be funded from General Fund economic <br />uncertainty reserves. <br />Budget Authority <br />The Finance Director has determined there are sufficient funds in the General Fund economic <br />uncertainty reserves for City Council approval of the $68,390.00 appropriation.
