SUMMARY
The Fiber-Optic Master Plan outlines the design and development of a high-speed fiber optic network loop through the Industrial Corridor of Hayward. This project, known as "Highspeed Hayward" will connect Hayward's existing science, technology, and engineering sectors to high speed gigabit networks while serving as another amenity to attract new business investment to the City.
Phase 1 of the project will add 3.4 miles of new conduit and cabling along with supporting pull boxes at an estimated total project cost of $4,218,392. Future Phases 2 & 3 will add an additional 7.6 miles of conduit and cabling to complete the high-speed fiber optic network "loop". Attachment III provides a map showing the locations of each phase and the "loop." This project is funded by a grant from the Economic Development Agency (EDA).
Staff is recommending the award of the construction contract to Vellutini Corporation dba Royal Electric Company in the amount of $1,614,442 and authorizing the expenditure of up to $2,407,944 for the total project, including contingencies for the construction of the Hayward High-Speed Fiber Optic Network Installation Project Phase 1.
