SUMMARY
In 2015, the Economic Development Administration awarded the City of Hayward a $2.74million grant to complete the construction of 11 miles of new fiber conduit throughout the City’s industrial corridor. This new construction would tie into the City’s existing 9 miles of fiber and conduit to complete a 20-mile loop throughout the City. Given the rising costs of construction in the Bay Area, the originally proposed project budget is no longer sufficient to construct the entire loop. This item outlines a plan to rescope and phase the existing Highspeed Hayward project, so the project can remain on time and on budget while maintaining a pathway to complete the originally proposed 20-mile loop.
