Date: September 5, 2006
Subject: Valley Cities Regional Wireless Network Project Consultant Agreement
Issue
A previous interlocal agreement between the Valley Cities (Auburn, Fife, Puyallup, Sumner,
Algona, Pacific, Kent, Renton, and Tukwila) for cooperation among valley cities in acceptance
and use of a Department of Justice COPS More Grant allocation was signed by the respective
Mayors in June 2006. These funds are earmarked for a regional wi -fi network feasibility study
The Valley Cities group has now selected a consultant for this project, CBG Communications,
and is asking all participant cities to approve and sign an additional interlocal agreement to hire
CBG Consulting, Inc. to perform the feasibility study
Background
In early 2005, representatives from the valley cities met to discuss several regional issues that
affect all of our cities. A common interest was wireless technology as a solution for public
safety communications and as a possible tool for economic development. Instead of each city
developing individual wireless solutions, a regional approach seemed logical. Several meetings
ensued, approaching the subject from both a technical and economic development viewpoint.
In February 2005, Representative Adam Smith's office contacted the City of Auburn about the
possibility of an earmark grant for funding a valley cities regional wi -fi network. The valley
cities include Tukwila, Kent, Auburn, Renton, Algona, Pacific, Fife, Sumner and Puyallup. In
recognition of greater interaction between these cities, each city passed a resolution supporting
the formation of a Valley Cities' Association. To this end, Tukwila Resolution #1593 was
signed on November 7, 2005 On behalf of the group, an application was made through
Representative Adam Smith's office to request initial funding for a feasibility study for this
project. In February 2006, the Valley Cities Association was awarded grant funding in the
amount of $98,723.00 from the Department of Justice COPS More Grant.
These grant funds are earmarked for a feasibility study and the Valley Cities group now desires
to retain a consulting firm to provide certain services in connection with this project. After
reviewing several candidate firms, the group has selected CBG Communications, Inc, to provide
consulting services.
Discussion
The scope of work for this consultant agreement is as follows:
Provide a strategic plan to meet community and public agency needs through potential
uses of fiber optic and wireless broadband infrastructure and services by performing a
high -level analysis of existing telecommunication infrastructures /services in the areas
represented by the Valley Cities. CBG will identify the current and future demand for
fiber optic (backbone, dedicated and fiber -to- the premises [FTTP]) and wireless
broadband services in the Valley Cities area.
Determine the specific operational relationship between a new wireline/wireless
broadband network and the current local government -owned emergency communications
and wide area networks as well as to explore the most feasible and efficient integration of
a new wireline/wireless broadband system.
Prepare and provide analysis of a mail -out residential survey, working with the Valley
Cities to develop an appropriate survey instrument. From the data gathered by this
survey, CBG will evaluate fiber /wireless broadband models to meet the needs assessed
and begin to identify the parameters required for next steps.
Assist the Valley Cities leadership in determining goals for a new wireline/wireless
broadband network. CBG will draft a strategic plan to present to the Valley Cities, as
well as incorporate feedback from the cities into the final plan to be provided to each of
the Valley Cities upon completion.
The total Department of Justice COPS More Grant fund allocation amount is $98,723 The
project cost required for this portion of grant fund expenditures totals $39,050. In order to
proceed with hiring the consulting firm, each member city of the Valley Cities Association must
agree to and sign the Interlocal Agreement.
Recommendation
Authorize the Mayor to enter into an Interlocal Agreement allowing the Valley Cities group to
hire CBG Consulting, Inc. and appropriate $39,050 of the Department of Justice Cops More
Grant funding to undertake a regional wi-fi feasibility study

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
A. Develop a strategic plan to meet community and public agency needs through
potential uses of fiber optic and wireless broadband infrastructure and services It will be
necessary to understand how a comprehensive fiber optic and wireless broadband system can
enhance existing connectivity, as well as provide broadband connectivity where none is being
provided today In this vein, some of the potential users and uses are:
Government communications services
o Safety (Police and Fire)
o Public Works
o Social Services
o Emergency notification
Residential
o Areas not served or underserved by cable modem, DSL or other forms of'
broadband
o Digital divide issues
o Areas requiring portability
Business
o Areas not served or underserved by cable modem, DSL, or other means
such as existing fiber optics
o Impact on economic development and tourism
CBG will perform the following activities and tasks:
CBG will perform a high -level analysis of existing telecommunications
infrastructure/services in the areas represented by the Valley Cities. This will include
identifying broadband access options available to the communities in the Valley Cities' area,
as well as businesses, residents, and schools within the area including provider names,
contact information and general availability and functionality as well as the costs for those
services.
CBG will identify the current and future demand for fiber optic (backbone, dedicated and
fiber-to- the premises [FTTP]) and wireless broadband services in the Valley Cities area.
Focus groups and discussions will be held with local officials in each community to
determine internal needs, as well as known, unfulfilled, Community broadband needs,
demands and concerns for current and future wireline and wireless telecommunications in the
area. Specifically, various local agency staff such as IT, economic development, public
safety and administration, and elected officials will have a sense for what current
governmental as well as residential and business needs may exist. In addition to these
meetings, relevant public documents will be identified reviewed.
1
Focus groups will also be held with representative community, school district, and other
educational and business organizations in each Valley Cities' jurisdiction concerning their
wireline and wireless broadband needs.
B. Determine the specific operational relationship between a new wirelinehvireless
broadband network and the current local government -owned emergency communications and
wide area networks Because the existing public safety systems are critical to the connectivity
and communications applications of government and educational entities in the Valley Cities
area, it will be extremely important to specifically look at the functions of the two systems that
are synergistic with a potential new fiber optic wirelinehvireless broadband network and how
such a network can both interconnect to and expand and enhance the capabilities of existing
systems.
CBG will work with the architects, engineers and operations personnel for the existing
networks to explore the most feasible and efficient integration of a new wireline/wireless
broadband system.
C. Preparation and Analysis of a Mail -out Residential Survey
CBG will develop a survey instrument to be mailed to a random sampling of homes in each
of the Valley Cities. Topic areas to be covered by the surveys include demographic
information; current broadband services; attitudes toward a variety of broadband related
issues such as connection speed (transfer rate), cost, customer service, installation and
applications; user profiles; needs and interests for additional and new broadband services;
preference for various types of providers and systems; and other issues.
CBG will work with the Valley Cities to develop the random sample and prepare an
appropriate survey instrument. Copying, printing and sending and receiving mailing costs
will be the responsibility of the Valley Cities (typically surveys are sent via first class mail to
reinforce their importance, but are received back by business mail permit or another low cost
means).
In order to ensure valid statistical data for each individual city as well as the region as a whole,
approximately 17,500 mailings will be made, covering the Valley Cities as indicated below

Total 1 1 1 17,500 1 2,300 1
This will provide valid statistical data for the region as a whole, as well as the oversampling
needed to provide valid statistical data that is individually applicable to each jurisdiction.
From all the data gathered above CBG will evaluate fiber /wireless broadband models to meet
the needs assessed and begin to identify the parameters that would be needed in an RFP or
other solicitation and development process.
D. Assist the Valley Cities leadership in determining goals for a new wirelinelwireless
broadband network (such as uses and potential income) Based on the information gathered in
the above steps, CBG will equip the Valley Cities with the information needed as well as a basis
for going forward with an RFP or other solicitation and development process to facilitate a fiber
optic/wireless system in the Valley Cities area. The steps in Tasks 1 and 2 mentioned above will
also ensure a high level of government official, business and residential input into, and
understanding of, the ultimate fiber optic and wireless network model and solution.
CBG will prepare a draft Strategic Plan and present it to the Valley Cities, identifying
potential system models, costs/benefits, identified uses and users and potential income if a
revenue generating (rather than revenue neutral) model is pursued.
Feedback from the Valley Cities leadership will then be incorporated in the overall data set
and a final Strategic Plan will be developed and a of which will be provided to each of the
Valley Cities.
