<br /> 124 <br />Task 3. Develop and standardize agreements for fiber <br />San Leandro will have to develop fiber leasing policies to formalize the commercial use <br />of its dark fiber, lit services and possible conduit. This includes standard agreements for <br />dark fiber and conduit leasing for the City’s existing infrastructure. San Leandro should <br />develop the core agreements necessary to formalize its broadband infrastructure <br />program, including: <br /> <br />• Develop a standard Master Services Agreement for leasing infrastructure to private <br />organizations, including an industry standard service level agreement and <br />acceptable use policy; <br />• Develop a standard inter-local agreement for leasing infrastructure to public <br />organizations, including an industry standard service level agreement and <br />acceptable use policy. <br />• Develop wholesale pricing structure and associated Service Level Agreements <br />Task 4. Develop pricing policies for fiber and conduit leasing <br />San Leandro needs a standard rate schedule for leasing its fiber to ensure the City is <br />providing these services at competitive, non-discriminatory rates and covering all of its <br />costs. The schedule should provide normalized rates across its program to ensure pricing <br />consistency to the market. San Leandro should assign costs proportionally to the <br />allocation of its network that is used for commercial broadband purposes. The City should <br />also maintain flexibility in its rate schedule to offer promotions and incentives in <br />conjunction with economic development programs in San Leandro. <br /> <br />Key pricing tasks include: <br /> <br />• Document San Leandro’s cost structure for fiber, accounting for one-time and <br />ongoing costs; <br />• Build a rate schedule using a per foot/per strand model for dark or a cost for point- <br />to-point fiber segments anywhere on the network; <br />• Develop leasing terms for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years with discounts applied to longer <br />lease terms; and, <br />• If rates will be formally adopted by the City Council, build in provisions to adjust <br />rates in special cases to accommodate the competitive marketplace. <br /> <br />Task 5. Publish rates and terms <br />The City should have its standardized rates available to the market in San Leandro, <br />focused on broadband providers, businesses, and public organizations. The rate <br />schedule should contain the relevant rates for fiber, one-time charges, monthly charges, <br />and terms. San Leandro should also set a disclaimer on its rate schedule that any “special <br />construction” of new fiber beyond its existing network will be subject to individual case <br />basis, otherwise known as “ICB” pricing. <br /> <br />Key sub-tasks include:
