W A T E R <br />E N E R G Y <br />CITY OF <br />F�IVEIZSIDE <br />P U B L I C U T I L I T I E S <br />RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />Board Memorandum <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />DATE: JUNE 19, 2015 <br />ITEM NO: 4 <br />SUBJECT: UPGRADE FIBER OPTIC CABLE NETWORK TO CITY HALL — WORK ORDER NO. <br />1508419 - $470,000 <br />ISSUE: <br />The issue for Board of Public Utilities (Board) consideration is approval of Work Order No. 1508419 for <br />improvements to the fiber optic cable network between the Riverside Substation and City Hall. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />That the Board of Public Utilities approve Work Order No. 1508419 in the amount of $470,000 for <br />improvements to the fiber optic cable network between the Riverside Substation and City Hall. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) operates extensive fiber optic network resources between key sites <br />totaling 115 miles of linear assets. These facilities serve RPU's communication needs for a wide variety <br />of technologies including system protection, water and electric system operation, data, voice, video and <br />security. City Hall is a key hub for systems and data traffic. This project will improve the fiber connection <br />between the Riverside Substation and City Hall in terms of both capacity and reliability. <br />RPU staff, working with the City's Innovation and Technology Department, identified necessary <br />improvements to address existing and future needs and enhance reliability of the fiber network by adding <br />capacity along an additional path. The existing fiber optic cables to City Hall follow a common route <br />through one underground vault. A failure in this vault could result in an extended interruption of <br />information and communications services until it can be repaired. This project will improve the fiber optic <br />cable network by adding a new fiber optic cable path and diversifying the physical route between the <br />Riverside Substation and City Hall. <br />The project includes installation of 3,900 feet of fiber optic cable with related conduit, trenching, physical <br />structures and termination equipment. RPU staff completed the preliminary engineering to identify the <br />new route. RPU staff will perform project management, engineering, design, construction management, <br />procurement, installation, testing and commissioning. Staff will solicit bids from the Energy Delivery <br />Contractors Panel to perform subsurface construction and installation. <br />The project breakdown is proposed as follows: <br />Project Breakdown <br />Engineering Performed By: <br />RPU Engineering Staff <br />Civil Construction Performed By: <br />Contractors' Panel Member <br />Inspection By: <br />RPU Inspector /Public Works Inspector <br />Fiber Installation Performed By: <br />RPU Electric Field Forces <br />
