RFP No. 56151 – Fiber Optics Master Plan Page 7 of 44 <br /> <br />License Agreement to include San Leandro Dark Fiber/Lit San Leandro’s access to the newly <br />installed conduit. <br /> <br />Assembly Bill 2292: Authored by Assembly member Rob Bonta this state bill expanded the list of <br />eligible projects for Infrastructure Financing Districts (IFDs) to include broadband development . <br />This will provide a much needed tool to fund fiber optic network construction throughout the <br />State. San Leandro’s work on the Lit San Leandro project played a lead role in helping shape this <br />bill and the City was a vocal supporter of it. <br /> <br />IV. SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The following list will highlight the technology projects the City of San Leandro is currently <br />pursuing and is interested in managing under a cohesive Fiber Optics Master Plan. <br /> <br />4.1 Areas of Focus <br /> <br />Street Lights and Poles: The City has executed an agreement with Climatec to replace all City- <br />owned street lights with “smart” LED lighting. The lighting system will be centrally controlled, <br />communicate wirelessly via 6LoWPAN and Wi-Fi, and can send alerts, as needed. This project, <br />funded through a municipal lease, is forecasted to save the City hundreds of thousands of dollars <br />per year in energy and maintenance costs. However, the street poles themselves are strategically <br />important assets that can support additional technologies, such as Wi-Fi, sensors, and more. A <br />Master Plan will help the City determine to the feasibility of connecting street poles to the fiber <br />network to support additional technologies. It should address which areas of the City are of the <br />highest strategic importance, which poles provide the best cost/benefit ratio for fiber <br />connectivity, and the types of technologies that should be considered to be used on street poles, <br />along with a simple pro forma cost analysis that can be applied for any pole. See Attachment B. <br /> <br />Traffic Signals: Modern traffic lights can be monitored and controlled centrally, and <br />transportation engineers can use them to control traffic flows, assist public safety and emergency <br />services, and more. The Master Plan shall include a description of the fiber optic infrastructure <br />required to support the traffic signal system. See Attachment C. <br /> <br />Parking: The City is nearing completion of a comprehensive study regarding its downtown <br />parking strategy. A parking control system, which will include the downtown parking garage and <br />nearby lots and metered spaces, will require a communications system to support it. The Master <br />Plan shall include a description of the fiber optic infrastructure required to support the parking <br />system. <br /> <br />536
