completion deadline.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
In April 2022, the City Council initiated efforts to expand broadband access and
affordability throughout the City of San Luis Obispo, culminating in the adoption of the
City’s Broadband Plan in June 2023. To implement the plan, the City partnered with
Astound Broadband and secured a $4,863,799 grant from the California Publ ic Utilities
Commission’s (CPUC) Last Mile Federal Funding Account (FFA) to construct the first
phase of the City’s broadband network.
The Broadband Implementation Project was advertised for construction bids in May and
June of 2026; however, bids received during the two separate solicitations exceeded the
publicly disclosed funding amount. After coordinating with the CPUC, staff have
developed a revised project approach consisting of a Base Bid and five Additive
Alternatives that prioritizes construction of the infrastructure necessary to serve the 1,925
total locations, 469 of them being unserved1, required by the grant while providing
1 “unserved” locations are locations receiving less than 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload or if the
only option for internet access is a legacy DSL copper connection.

flexibility to maximize the project scope within the available funding.
This report seeks Council authorization to reject all bids received, re-advertise the project
using the revised bid structure, increase the publicly disclosed funding amount for
contract award authority from $2,200,000 to $2,400,000, authorize the City Engineer to
approve the revised plans and specifications, and authorize the City Manager to award
the construction contract if the lowest responsible bid is within the publicly disclosed
funding amount. The report also provides updates to the project budget, revisions to the
Public-Private Partnership with Astound Broadband related to AT&T pole attachment
agreements to be approved by the City Manager, and information about the status of the
grant completion deadline. Following backbone infrastructure completion, Astound will
initiate connections to the 1,925 total locations, with initial service availability targeted by
mid-2027.
POLICY CONTEXT
In accordance with the City of San Luis Obispo’s Municipal Code, Section 3.24.180 “Bids-
Rejection”, Subsection B, the Purchasing Authority may reject “all bids, for any reason
whatsoever, and may readvertise for new bids or abandon the purchase ”. The Purchasing
Authority is designated as the City Manager by Municipal Code Section 3.24.030;
however, in conjunction with the bid rejection, staff are requesting Council’s approval to
readvertise the project with a modified scope, as well as an increase in the delegated
award authority to the City Manager. Rejecting bids that substantially exceed authorized
award authority and re-advertising to secure competitive pricing is in the public interest
and consistent with City procurement policies.
In April 2022, the City Council formed an ad-hoc committee to explore ways the City could
improve access and affordability of broadband internet for residents and businesses.
Based on the findings of that committee, in June 2022, Council allocated $600,000 of
State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to study the issue further and develop a
broadband plan. In June 2023, the City Council adopted the City’s Broadband Plan.
Following adoption of the Broadband Plan, the City pursued funding through the CPUC ’s
Last Mile FFA grant program to implement the first phase of the Plan. Consistent with
Council’s direction to pursue a public-private partnership, the City partnered with Astound
Broadband, an experienced broadband operator, as required by the grant program. The
CPUC approved the City’s grant in October 2024, and in December 2024, the City Council
accepted and appropriated $4,863,799 in grant funding for the Broadband
Implementation Project. The grant funding allows the City to construct the FFA funded
portion of the Broadband Plan without the use of additional City funds and supports the
City’s goal of expanding equitable access to Broadband service in currently unserved
areas.
The 2021-2023 Major City Goals included a specific task related to broadband:
Economic Recovery, Resiliency, and Fiscal Sustainability task

DISCUSSION
Background
The City's Broadband Plan is intended to expand access to affordable, equitable high -
speed internet throughout the City by constructing a pub licly owned fiber optic backbone
network and leveraging a Public, Private, Partnership (P3) Agreement with Astound
Broadband to provide broadband service to residents and businesses . The project will
construct a City-owned fiber optic backbone network, from which Astound will provide
service connections to residents and businesses that choose Astound as their internet
service provider.
To fund the project, the City pursued the Calif ornia Public Utilities Commission (CPUC)
Last Mile Federal Funding Account (FFA) Grant Program, which required partnering with
an experienced broadband operator. On October 30, 2024, the CPUC approved the City's
Last Mile FFA Grant, and on December 10, 2024, the City accepted grant funding in the
amount of $4,863,7992. The project was approved with the intent that construction would
be fully funded through the grant, without the use of additional City funds.
Bid Results
On December 2, 2025, the City Council authorized advertisement for the Broadband
Implementation Project – FFA, Specification No. 2001063. The same action also
authorized the City Manager to award the contract if the lowest bid was within the publicly
disclosed funding amount of $2,200,000, which was established based on the total grant
funding available, construction costs, and anticipated soft costs and material costs as
outlined in the fiscal impact section. The project was first advertised on March 26, 2026,
with bids opened on May 7, 2026. One bid was received (Attachment A) in the amount of
2 The Last Mile Federal Funding Account Grant is administered by the State (the California Public Utilities
Commission). In accepting the grant in 2024, the City agreed to the state’s requirements set forth in
CPUC Resolution T-17852.

After consulting with the CPUC, who recommended the City reject and re-advertise, staff
rejected all bids and readvertised the project on June 4, 2026, to encourage greater
competition and obtain more competitive pricing. Three bids were received and opened
on July 2, 2026 (Attachment B). Pramira, Inc. was the low bid with a bid of $3,747,168.74,
which is greater than the publicly disclosed funding amount of $2,200,000 by
$1,547,168.74.
July 2, 2026 Bid Summary Bid Total
Publicly Disclosed Funding Amount $2,200,000
Leo Tidwell Excavating Corporation $4,624,452
Joseph Construction and Consulting, Inc. $4,233,162
Pramira, Inc. $3,747,168
The results of the second bid were lower than the first bid by $1,646,665, a significant
reduction that can be attributed to a more competitive bid environment with three
interested contractors bidding on the project instead of one . With multiple bids received
at the second bid opening, the City has more certainty that the cost of the project is more
accurately reflected.
As part of the grant requirements, the project was to be completed within 24 months of
grant approval on October 17, 2024. Completion of the project includes the full
construction of the broadband infrastructure, completion of all required testing and
documentation, and acceptance by the CPUC that the project has satisfied the grant
requirements and is ready for final closeout . The City has therefore requested an
extension of the grant completion deadline to June 30, 2027. The request remains
pending, and formal approval has not yet been received.
If the extension request is approved, the new deadline to complete the project would be
June 30, 2027, which provides sufficient time to complete the project if a second
readvertisement is approved. If rejected, the project will not be completed within the
CPUC grant timeline, meaning the grant funding will be lost and the project will not be
able to continue. As of August 3, 2026, the CPUC has confirmed receipt of the extension
request, but no determination has yet been made. Determinations on other FFA grant
funded projects have started rolling out, but no timeline has been provided to the City.
However, CPUC staff have indicated that the City should proceed under the expectation
that the extension will be granted since numerous cities around the State are
encountering similar challenges with high bid prices and shifting delivery schedules. If the
Page 180 of 274
Item 6k
extension is not approved, staff will return to Council with options and implications for
grant retention.
Revised Design Documents
Existing grant funding is insufficient to award the contract; thus, Public Works and
Admin/IT staff worked to coordinate on a strategy to modify the project in a way that would
provide the most value to the community while retaining all the available grant funding.
The revised project plans and specifications are now structured with a Base Bid and five
Additive Alternatives to maximize the scope of work within the available grant funding.
The Base Bid includes the locations and infrastructure shown in Figure 1 required to serve
the 1,925 total locations in the Base Bid, with Additive Alternatives providing redundancy
and service expansion without affecting grant compliance. Construction will follow
approved traffic control plans, and residents and businesses will be notified prior to
construction. The additive alternatives were developed so that, if they are not constructed
as part of this project, no unserved or total locations would be eliminated. Instead, some
redundant routing would be removed that, while preferred, may not be financially feasible
at this time.
This option has been presented to the CPUC as it requires approval due to the change
of scope. Typically, reducing the scope would result in a corresponding reduction in the
FFA grant funding available for the project. The CPUC’s FFA grant is based on the
approved project scope, including locations and infrastructure improvements identified in
the grant application. Therefore, removing portions of the project would require CPUC
approval through an amendment to the project scope. An amendment request was
submitted to the CPUC on August 20, 2026 with a requested response deadline of
September 3, 2026. The proposed scope amendment allows the project to meet the
originally identified 1,925 total locations including the 469 unserved locations while
maintaining the same grant funding and thereby still achieving the Major City Goals
related to the Broadband Plan. The CPUC provided an update on September 2, 2026,
that they would not be able to provide a response to the amendment request by
September 3 and have no timeframe on which a decision will be made. As such, no official
written confirmation of the revised bid structure has been provided as of the date of this
report; however, CPUC project management staff have verbally indicated support for the
revised bid structure, provided the base project serves the same number of total
properties.
To continue moving the project forward, staff recommends proceeding with advertising
the revised bid structure and setting a bid opening date following the CPUC’s response.
This approach provides the City with an opportunity to construct the project within the
available grant funding, provided the requested extension and amendment are approved
by the CPUC.
If the CPUC denies the requested amendment to the project scope prior to or during the
period leading up to advertisement, staff will revise the contract documents to reflect the
original bid structure and issue an addendum to the advertised project. Under this
Page 181 of 274
Item 6k
scenario, the full original project scope would need to be within the publicly disclosed and
Council-approved funding amount in order for the City Manager to award the construction
contract.
The proposed additive alternatives for the revised project bid structure, in order of priority,
are:
Nipomo Street - Additive Alternative 1
This alternative of underground fiber connects City fiber from Palm Street to Higuera
Street. This alternative creates a redundant loop in the Downtown core, which helps to
prevent service outage issues that could be caused by damage to fiber optic infrastructure
in the Downtown core. While this loop is desirable, Astound Broadband will still be able
to provide service at commercially acceptable levels without this loop. This alternative is
at the top of the priority list due to the number of potentially served persons that this
redundant loop would support. Redundant loop segments are prioritized to improve
resiliency and reduce outage risks in high-demand areas.
Los Osos Valley Road – Additive Alternative 2
This alternative includes aerial and underground fiber that connects City fiber from Calle
Joaquin to Madonna Road. This alternative creates a redundant loop on the southern
side of the City, which helps to prevent service outage issues that could be caused by
damage to fiber optic infrastructure in the South Higuera and Laguna Lake areas of the
City. While this loop is desirable, Astound Broadband will still be able to provide service
at commercially acceptable levels without this loop. This alternative is second on the
priority list due to the number of potentially served persons that this redundant loop would
support.
Grand Avenue – Additive Alternative 3
This alternative includes aerial and underground fiber that installs City fiber from Garfield
Street to McCollum Street. This alternative allows for service expansion to the
neighborhoods bordering Cal Poly and would work in conjunction wit h existing City fiber
to close redundant loops in that area. While this service expansion is desirable, this
alternative does not directly support unserved locations. Astound Broadband will still be
able to provide service at commercially acceptable levels without this alternative. This
alternative is third on the priority list due to the number of potentially served persons that
this alternative would support.
Tank Farm Road – Additive Alternative 4
This alternative includes aerial and underground fiber that connects City fiber from
Innovation Way to Broad Street. This alternative closes a redundant loop between the
South Higuera area and the Broad Street area of the City, which helps to prevent service
outage issues that could be caused by damage to fiber optic infrastructure in the South
Higuera and Broad Street areas of the City. While this loop is desirable, Astound
Broadband will still be able to provide service at commercially acceptable levels without
this loop. Due to uncertainties related to future development of the area, the number of
Page 182 of 274
Item 6k
persons potentially served by this alternative is difficult to predict, making this a lower
priority alternative.
Foothill Boulevard – Additive Alternative 5
This alternative includes aerial fiber from Cuesta Drive to Patricia Drive. This alternative
allows for further expansion of services down Foothill Boulevard, as well as would support
future City Utilities connections that are contemplated in the second phase of the
Broadband Plan. This alternative is at the bottom of the priority list, as it does not directly
affect our grant commitments for service to unserved or total locations. Aerial segments
are used where they provide schedule and cost efficiencies, while underground
construction is selected where durability, restoration, or corridor constraints make it
preferable.
Figure 1 - FFA Project Location
To determine an appropriate scope for the Base Bid and Additive Alternatives, the
previous Engineer's Estimate of $1,800,000 for the total project was revised using pricing
from the previous bid results to better reflect current construction costs. This updated
estimate was used to develop a Base Bid that falls below the publicly disclosed funding
amount, with the remaining project elements included as Additive Alternatives. A
Page 183 of 274
Item 6k
summary of the revised bid structure and Engineer’s Estimate is provided in the Fiscal
Impact Section.
Pole Lease Agreements
As part of the project, aerial fiber optic facilities will be installed on existing AT&T utility
poles pursuant to pole attachment agreements. At the time the City Council authorized
advertisement of the project in December 2025, staff was actively working to secure the
necessary pole attachment agreements with AT&T. During that process, AT&T
determined that its standard pole attachment agreements may only be executed by a
certificated telecommunications carrier that holds a California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) or by Certified Local
Exchange Carriers (CLECs), rather than by a municipality. Because the City is not a
certificated telecommunications carrier and does not hold a CPCN, it is not eligible to
enter into AT&T's standard pole attachment agreements.
Accordingly, the City is currently working with Astound, a CLEC, to amend the P3
Agreement, subject to approval by the City Manager as authorized under the Agreement.
The amendment is currently under review by the CPUC. If no comments are received, it
will be routed through a City Manager Report for approval by the City Manager. The
amendment will clarify that Astound will execute the required pole attachment agreements
with AT&T and will own the aerial fiber optic facilities installed on AT&T’s poles . Although
Astound will own the aerial fiber facilities installed on AT&T poles, the City will retain an
Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) for the portions of the network identified in the P3
Agreement. This structure allows the project to utilize AT&T poles through Astound's
existing pole attachment agreements while preserving the City's contractual rights to use
the network. Staff has been coordinating with the CPUC throughout this process, and the
proposed approach is consistent with discussions held with CPUC staff regarding
implementation of the project. The City will continue to procure construction of the aerial
fiber improvements as part of the project, consistent with the amended P3 Agreement.
As a result, the City will avoid the $150,000 in initial and annual fees to AT&T over the
course of three years for pole lease agreements as shown in the Fiscal Impact Section.

FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted: Yes Budget Year: 2024-25
Funding Identified: Yes
Fiscal Analysis:
The Fiscal Analysis section for this project was previously presented in the December 2,
2025 Council report authorizing advertisement of the project. The project is funded
through a $4,863,799 California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Last Mile Federal
Funding Account (FFA) grant, and no City funds are allocated for the project.
Since the previous Council report, the Engineer’s Estimate and project budget have been
updated to reflect refined cost information utilizing the recent bid results. The updated
Engineer’s Estimate is summarized in the following table:
Bid Item Engineer’s Estimate
Base Bid $2,045,000
Additive Alternative 1 $490,000
Additive Alternative 2 $615,000
Additive Alternative 3 $505,000
Additive Alternative 4 $305,000
Additive Alternative 5 $95,000
Total Project Cost $4,055,000
After bid opening, if the lowest responsible bid is within the new recommended publicly
disclosed funding amount of $2,400,000 authorized by Council, staff will recommend the
City Manager award the construction contract via City Manager Report. The revised
contract award language will provide for award of the Base Bid and Additive Alternatives,
in priority order, to the greatest extent possible within the publicly disclosed funding
amount, if the amendment request is approved by the CPUC.
Construction management and archaeological monitoring consultants have been
selected for the project, and their estimated fees have been updated to the actual costs
for their services shown below. Cost for materials testing is included in the contract with
construction management. A consultant was also contracted to assist with the review and
development of the special provisions due to the technical considerations and specialized
construction requirements associated with the project. In addition, costs previously
identified for pole lease agreements and permit application support have been removed,
as the City's broadband partner, Astound Broadband, will now be responsible for
Page 185 of 274
Item 6k
submitting the pole attachment agreements and paying the associated annual lease fees.
The revised fiscal impact table below reflects these updated project costs.

Total Available Funding $4,863,799 $4,863,799
Remaining Balance $0 $0
As a result of these budget updates, staff recommends a revised publicly disclosed
funding amount of $2,400,000. The increase from $2,200,000 reflects the revised project
budget and provides additional flexibility to award the largest feasible combination of the
Base Bid and Additive Alternatives within the authorized publicly disclosed funding
amount. The project will continue to be fully funded through the CPUC Federal Funding
Account (FFA) grant, contingent upon approval of the requested extension to the project
completion deadline. No City funds will be used to construct the project. If the extension
request is approved and the project is completed with any remaining unused grant funds,
those funds will be returned to the CPUC.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Reject all bids and Re-advertise the project without additive alternatives. – The
City Council could choose to re-advertise the project using the same bid structure and
plan set approved by City Council on December 3, 2025 . The project has advertised
twice, both times with all bids coming over the publicly disclosed funding amount. The
competitive bidding process has provided a reliable indication of cur rent market
Page 186 of 274
Item 6k
pricing, and re-advertising would likely not result in bids below the new recommended
publicly disclosed funding limit of $2,400,000.
2. Reject all bids and cancel the project. - The City Council could reject all bids and
elect not to re-advertise the project. The project is funded through a CPUC grant, and
failure to proceed would result in the loss of the grant funding.
