<br />Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Magellan Advisors 07/17/2017 <br />for Fiber-Optics Master Plan Exhibit A – Page 5 of 10 <br />B. Conceptual Network Design <br />Magellan will work with San Leandro staff to identify infrastructure that is required to meet the needs of the <br />community determined in the Community Broadband Engagement. Our team will thoroughly review all <br />communications facilities owned by the City that could be utilized in a new strategy that would be <br />developed as part of this Study. Our consultants will work with San Leandro staff to understand the pros <br />and cons of each delivery method and the costs associated with each as the infrastructure that is chosen <br />can have a major impact on long-term financial sustainability. <br /> <br />The overall network design will be based on the needs of the residents, businesses and anchors that will <br />utilize it. This will determine the bandwidths and speeds, performance, redundancy and scalability <br />requirements and solution-specific requirements. Magellan will design a network that meets the specifics <br />outlined by the City, and the network should be capable of supporting the following: <br /> <br /> Gigabit-capable with a path to 10-gigabit <br /> High-performance, dedicated connectivity <br /> Reliable and redundant <br /> Flexible to support multiple technologies, such as GPON and Active Ethernet simultaneously <br /> Scalable to support future growth, density and bandwidth requirements <br /> Multi-service in design – voice, video, data, with the necessary QOS management <br /> Administratively lean, fitting well within the electric utility operational environment <br /> Smart City applications <br /> Smart Grid technologies <br /> <br />Based on the network design, Magellan will provide estimates to San Leandro for cost of network <br />construction, including design, construction, equipment, testing and certification as well as ongoing annual <br />costs to operate and maintain the network. In addition, all backhaul options will be reviewed to identify the <br />most optimal routes out of San Leandro, and to identify potential interconnect points to regional Points of <br />Presence (PoPs). Our significant work managing broadband construction projects will allow for accurate <br />estimation of the costs the City will bear in this process. We will incorporate these cost estimates into our <br />financial planning tools used in the project for business, anchor and residential service. <br /> <br />We’ll incorporate all cost estimates for capital into our Broadband Financial Sustainability Model to conduct <br />further financial analysis of the proposed network. Our model provides comprehensive capital and <br />operational costs for buildout in year-by-year schedules that accounts for all revenues and costs borne by <br />San Leandro’s proposed network. Details on how our model works is described in the following sections. <br /> <br />Task 4: Business Models & Financials <br />We will help San Leandro analyze a range of business model options in the framework of financial, <br />operational, and organizational requirements to determine which models are “best fit” for the City, have the <br />greatest chance of success, and will be the most financially sustainable. We will present each analysis of <br />every business model to the City team and provide an analysis of how each meets San Leandro’s goals in <br />the project. <br /> <br />Magellan will work with the City to define the range of business model options to evaluate for expanded <br />fiber deployment, which may include the following: <br />521
