    HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILDecember 2, 2011Subject: Public Safety Broadband SystemPage 2 of 10have learned ho w critical it is for public safety agencies to be ab le to comm unicate in times ofeme rgency. San Jos~ lcnows w ell that disasters dont stop at the city limits or county line. OnDecem ber 14, 2010, the Cou ncil unanimously adopted four Guiding Principles for thedevelopmen t of a regional com mu nications system for public safety (A ttachm ent A ). At thattime, the C ity of San Jos~ had been asked by the A lameda C ounty Sheriff, the then-ExecutiveSpon sor of the BayWE B project, to provide a written comm itment to participate in the system.BayW EB is a regional public safety and pub lic access broadband project funded primarily by theBroadband T echnology Opportunity Program (BT OP ), which is a U.S. Department of Com mercegrant program funded through A merican Recovery and R einvestment A ct stimulus funds. InSeptember 2010, M otorola received a grant in the amount of $50,600,000 from the Departmentof C omm erce to implement this project and had comm itted to provide a match of $20,000,000 inin-kind services and equ ipment.The Council declined to sign a Letter of Intent with the Sheriff, and instead voted unanimouslyto adopt a position of support for the concept of regional interoperability for public safetycommunications and to participate fully in BayWEB planning and governance efforts.T he C ouncil also unanimously voted to ask the N T IA to reallocate the funds to the Bay A reacities and counties to conduct a fair and unbiased procu rement process, which is the process usedin every other region of the country that received BT O P funding for public safety broadbandprojects. T he C ouncil made this request due to serious concerns about the manner in w hich staffof the Bay A rea Urban A rea Security Initiative partnered with staff from M otorola Incorporatedto craft the corporations BTO P g rant application.Since last Decembe r, Mayor Re ed, San Jos~ staff, and our W ashington, D.C . lobby ists have heldnumerous discussions with the Department of Commerce, members of Congress, and otherfederal officials, all with the same result: The NT IA was u nable to reallocate the grant funds tothe local region. W ith this unde rstanding, Sa n Jos~ staff strived to w ork w ith other jurisdictionsin the region to create a governance structure for regional public safety communications project~,including the possible BayW EB project. Such a g overnance structure has long been needed tocoordinate operations and maintenance of the BayLOOP public safety microwave system, forexample. The Bay A rea Regional Interoperable Com munications System (BayRIC S) JointP owers A uthority was created, and San Jos~s City C ouncil unanimously voted to join theBayRIC S JP A on June 14, 2011. Michelle McGurk, Senior Policy A dvisor to Mayor Reed,serves as San Jos~s representative, and C hristopher Godley, Director of Emergency S ervices, isthe C itys alternate.T he BayRIC S JP A held its f irst meeting on A ugust 8, 2011, and has met eight times sinceinception. Committees were created, including a BOOM Negotiations Team, tasked withnegotiating a BayW EB system contract with Motorola. San Jos~s representative wa s electedV ice Ch air of the JPA and has been a me mb er of the negotiations team . Monthly updates onBayRIC S have b een provided to the C ouncils Pub lic Safety, Finance, and Strategic SupportC omm ittee under the standing agenda item of pu blic safety interoperability..T he BayW EB project has reached critical decision points, and this report places four key issuesbefore the C ouncil for authorization and policy direction.

    ANALYSIS

    Site A ccess and Use A greementsT he BayW EB system is designed to leverage existing public safety resources by co-locatingbroadb and equipm ent on 193 sites that Bay A rea public safety agencies already use for theiremergency communications and land-mobile radio systems. Motorolas BTOP grant proposalalso envisioned placing the equipm ent for a pub lic access system on these sites. Motorolaintends to sell this service to third-party W ireless Internet Service P roviders, who w ould thenprovide service to underserved communities, schools, libraries, and other community institutions.M otorola did not conduct site walks or evaluations of the radio sites in advance of the grantapplication which asserted that sites we re available and shove l-ready. One significantconcession mad e by M otorola is that the company has agreed to cover site remediation costs upto a $24 million ceiling throughout the BT O P grant period (A ugust 2013) for currently identifiedsites or their substitutes. Th is is anticipated to cov er all costs of site remediation. If new oradditional sites are desired after May 31, 2012, the A uthority may be required to pay rem ediationfor those sites. Site ow ners are expected to provide sites for the BayW EB project rent free andassume costs for utilities, environmental clearance, permitting, and leasing privately owned sitesas well as any indirect costs such as the value o f staff time to esco rt Mo torola staff onto the sites.T o date, one Bay A rea county - Solano - has stated that they will not participate in the BayW EBproject, primarily due to cost concerns.M otorola seeks to use four sites in San Jos6 for BayW EB: C ity Hall, Eagle Rock, Fire Station 28,and C adwallader Reservoir .On Novem ber 15, 2011, City Manager Debra Figone w rote to M otorola outlining three keyconditions that needed to be met prior to asking C ouncil for approval to enter into a site accessand use agreement:Site access and use will be limited to the BayWE B pub lic safety broadband system only.T he public access system equipment cannot be accom mod ated on our sites.San J os6 w ill retain all rights to lease or enter into partnerships on our prop erty, with theunderstanding that any equipment installed w ont interfere technologically w ithMotorolas equipment.

    San Jos6 recogn izes that Motorola ow ns the BayW EB equipmen t until it is transferred tothe BayRIC S A uthori ty or i ts designee, however any improvements made on San Jos6sites that are concurrently used for San Jos6 or regional public safety purposes (such astower replacement or dish substitution) will be ow ned by S an Jos6 and rem ain in SanJos6s ownership after the lease terminates.M otorola has agreed to the first two term s in principle. How ever, after reviewing the subjectsites with Planning, Building and C ode Enforcem ent and Pub lic W orks, and the C ity A ttorney itappears that entering into an agreem ent allow ing an entity to do construction and mak eimprovements on a ci ty-owned site is a project under C EQ A and N EP A and therefore cannot beapproved p rior to obtaining environmental clearance.

    H O N O RA B L E M A Y O R A N D C I T Y C O U N C I LDecember 2, 2011Subject: Pub lic Safety Broadband SystemPage 4 of 10Policy Alternative #1. D irect staff to continue to work w ith M otorola to use San Josds foursites for Bay W EB .RE SUL T . Staff would conduct environmental review and com munity outreach and then bringan agreement forward to the C ouncil for approval . BayW EB would provide coverage for publicsafety personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, within the city limits.(Note: San Jo sd could choose to join the system at a later date depending on coverage an dperformance q uality.) San Jos~ w ill have to pay electrical costs for the equipment o n these sitesfor the life of the contract, . estimated at $5,000 to $20,000 per year based on numbers provided inthe BayRICS System F unding P lan .Policy Alternative #2. D irect staff to decline providing sites to Bay W EB.RE SUL T . BayWE B coverage would be minimal in San Josd. This could impact other publicagencies or contract service providers (i.e. ambulance services).In the spirit of regional cooperation, staff recomm ends P olicy A lternative 1. Should theBayWEB project go forward, San Jos~ would not be hindering system performance or coverageby ke eping our sites from the system . The final site access and use agreem ent would return toC ouncil for approval after environmen tal review and ou treach is conducted.FCC W aiverIn 2007, the Federal C omm unications System reallocated spectrum in the 700 M Hz band classfor public safety and com mercial uses. 10 MH z of spectrum was m ade available for earlydeploymen ts of public safety 4G L T E broad band projects, through the Pub lic Safety SpectrumT rust (PS ST ). (Note: C ongress is currently debating allocating additional spectrum called the D-block to pub lic safety for a nationwide w ireless broadb and network. T he early systems likeBayW EB would need to integrate with the nationwide network .)In the Bay A rea, the three largest cities (San Josd, San Francisco, and O akland) applied for awaiver on b ehalf of the region to use this spectrum . A t the time, there was no regional body ,such as the BayR IC S A uthority to undertake the application or hold the lease. It was anticipatedthat funding wou ld becom e available, through A RRA stimu lus funds or other grant sources, tofund the development of these early systems nationwide. The B ay A rea waiver was one o f 21granted nationwide in May 2010.Subsequently, the lease document approved by the PSST was with a lessee named the "SanFrancisco Bay Area Urban Region," and signed by the Alameda County Sheriff, with the staffcontact listed as the UASI General Manager. According to documents filed with the FCC,Motorolas outside counsel provided assistance with the execution of this lease.T he FC C has since determined this lease is not valid, and the three cities have expendedsignificant time and legal resources in an effort to correct the problem s with the w aiver andlease. The F C C had advised the three cities that the most expeditious and prudent option is tofile an am ended w aiver petition allowing the P SST to enter into a new lease with the originalP etitioners (San Francisco, Oa kland and San Jos~). Th e draft petition (A ttachment B) states that

    5/123

    HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILDecember 2, 2011Subject: Public Safety Broadband SystemPage 5 of 10the cities will then promptly seek approval to assign the lease to the BayR IC S A uthority, asexpressly permitted by the form spectrum lease.Policy Alternative #1. BayRICS Authority Petitions the FCC Directly for a Regional WaiverRES UL T . The C ouncil could recomm end that the BayRIC S A uthority directly petit ion the FCCfor a regional waiver and lease. W hile this approach wou ld be m ore direct, the FC C hasindicated it would require a lengthy notice and com men t proceeding. In recent months, the FC Chas not taken action on new w aivers due to the pending C ongressional action around bu ilding anationwide system. The NTIA has stated that without certainty that the spectrum will beavailable to the BayWEB system, Motorolas BTOP grant could be in jeopardy.Policy Alternative #2. San Josd Signs the Waiver Petition

    RES UL T . The C ouncil authorizes the Mayor to sign the draft waiver petit ion and leasedocum ents on behalf of the C ity of San Jos~. Should the FC C award the waiver and lease to thethree cities, staff would then n egotiate lease terms and conditions with the BayR IC S A uthority.It is important to note that the petition m akes comm itments to the FC C that the petitioners intendto bui ld a public safety 4G L T E system that is com pliant with FC C standards. I t outlines theway in w hich Motorolas BayW EB system wil l serve this purpose. However, public safety L T Etechnology is in its infancy, and the FC C is still developing standards for operations andperformance. M otorola has comm itted to build a system that meets standards on A pril 30, 2013.A ccording to the BOO M A greement, the company has not committed to meeting futureregulatory requirements. Should regulations change or n ew standards be impleme nted, thewaiver-holders are ultimately responsible for compliance. For those reasons, the lease w ith theBayR IC S A uthority mu st assume risk for compliance. Given fiscal realities for San Josd, fundsare unlikely to be available to invest in upgrades during the 10-year life of BayW EB .W hile staffs preferred policy alternative is #1, the timing issues are such that staff recomm endsP olicy A lternative #2 and will work w ith the cities of San F rancisco and O akland to ensure thatwhen the spectrum lease is assigned to the BayR IC S A uthority, the lease contains ampleprotection for future regulatory requirements.BayRICS Authority System Funding PlanT o ensure transparency and fiscal responsibility, the drafters of the BayRIC S Joint P owersA greement included the following requ irement: Before entering into any contracts for thesystem, the A uthority must f i rst approve a System Fu nding Plan. T he Systems F unding Plan isconsidered pivotal to the establishment of the JPA . Based upon a needs analysis of the me mb ers,system priorities w ill be established and a long-range plan deve loped, which w ill include thecosts of construction, on-going operation and m aintenance, and technical and adm inistrativesupport. T he Systems Funding P lan wil l allow m emb ers to determine the systems "capabil ity,data speeds, functionality, features, cost, financing an d the expected im pacts on the individualme mb ers." Mem bers are given 90 days after the draft plan is distributed to provide input to theBoard, after wh ich time the Board takes action to adopt, revise or reject the plan.

    HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILDecember 2, 2011Subject: Public Safety Broadband SystemPage 6 of 10A fter a Systems Funding P lan is adopted, mem bers have 90 days in which to withdraw from theJPA, incurring no costs except the nonrefundable Initial Membership Fee of $24,500. The 90-day window s were determined to be the minimum am ount of time for the appointedrepresentatives to seek approval of their appointing authority regarding the plan, its financialcommitments, and other obligations on their jurisdictions.The draft Systems Funding Plan is provided in Attachment C. The 90-day comment periodconcludes on January 16, 2012, and the BayRICS Authority is expected to review and vote onthe System Funding Plan later that week. If approved, the Authority will consider the BOOMAgreement with Motorola.Significant elements of the System Funding Plan are missing or inconclusive based on items stilto be negotiated with Motorola and other entities, as well as yet-to-be-determined costs forstaffing, backhaul, and future system improvements. San Jos~s comments capture thoseconcerns and are provided in Attachment D.Staff recommends that C ouncil approve San Jos~s comments on the BayRIC S Joint Pow ersA uthority System F unding Plan for fi ling with the BayRIC S JP A .BayW EB B uild-Own-Operate-Maintain (BOOM) A greement with M otorolaO nce it adopts a System Funding P lan, the BayRIC S A uthority will consider approval of thedraft BOOM Agreement with Motorola (Attachment E) to build, own, operate, and maintain theBayW EB 4G L T E P ublic Safety network (N ote: Several Exhibits to the BO OM A greement arenot expected to be completed until December 15, 2011 or later). BayWE B w ill be amo ng thefirst of its kind in the nation. It is not a voice system an d w ill not, in the foreseeable future,replace the land-m obile radio systems that ou r police officers and fire fighters currently use. It isplanned to provide m obile data and Internet-based services on a private public safety networkthat is free from com mercial data traffic. Scenarios inwhich such a system m ight be usedinclude transmitting photos of suspects or missing persons to officers in the field; sendingbuilding plans to teams fighting a fire or w orking a hazardou s ma terials response; accessingdatabases w hen in the field; sending a p atients vital statistics from the E M T /paramedic to theEm ergency Room ; or transmitting live video from an incident scene.T here are risks to being on technologys bleeding edge, including the following:1. Lim ited availability of devices: C urrently the only devices available to use the pub lic

    safety broadband spec trum are w ireless mode m d evices that plug into laptops. By thetime the system is operational in A ugust 2013, various vendors are expected to offertrunk-loaded modem s for police cars, handheld P DA devices, and tablets. C omm erciallyavailable devices like iP ads and sm artphones do not currently have the chipsets or otherinfrastructure to operate on the public safety band.2. Future developm ent and future technology standards: T he 4G L T E standard has beenadopted for public safety broadband nationwide, how ever there are still a numb er ofissues and operational standards to be w orked out. Should technology and standards, go adifferent direction than choices made in developing BayW EB , the JPA could be at risk ofsignificant upgrade co sts to keep the system com pliant and interoperable with other

    public safety networks. C osts associated with such changes implemented after A pril 30,2013, are likely to borne by the BayRIC S A uthority.A dditionally, the planning and execution of this project have not followed traditional practices.Rather than planning a system , then applying for funding as a region, then condu ctingprocuremen t for a vendor, the Bay A rea UA SI staff oversaw the selection of a partner, Motorola,who then applied for a g rant directly and withheld the actual grant application from the region.T he UA SI staff turned a val id Request For Information that would have had vendors conductingthree small pilot projects in Oaldand, San Francisco, and San Jos~, into a questionableprocuremen t for a sole source private sector partner. System requirem ents, performancestandards, and specifications that should have b een laid out in procurem ent docum ents haveinstead had to be negotiated after the fact with a partner who controlled the grant fun ding.Notwithstanding these chal lenges, the BayW EB BO OM A greement before the C ouncil today is asignificantly better product than that originally presented to the A lameda C ounty She riff whenthat office planned to serve as the pro jects Executive Spon sor. T his final draft should be view edas a com promise. Each party has tentatively agreed to assum e m ore risk and costs than it wou ldprefer.M otorola made significant concessions in agreeing to pay for site remediation costs above andbeyond the $20 m illion match required under the BT O P grant requirements, and to enter into siteagreements directly with local jurisdictions. A dditionally, Mo torola agreed to no minim um u sercom mitment on the part of the BayR IC S A uthority. This was significant as Motorola stated inthe grant application that it anticipated 50 ,000 users on the system (a nu mb er impossible for theBayR IC S A uthority to guarantee as it is easily twice the population of public safety personnel inthe 10-county region). By eliminating this requirement, Bay A rea jurisdictions may choose tosubscribe to or exit BayWE B service with the same freedom they have with com mercialbroadb and carriers (absent any investment ma de for devices that may not work on a differentsystem). In return, the BayR IC S A uthority voted to allow M otorola to use a free marke t-basedpricing mechanism after the first year of service (during which their fee would b e $38/month).T he BO OM Negotiation Team asked the BayRIC S A uthori ty to vote on the pricing model andon other key issues when the two sides reached impasse in discussions. T he BayR IC S A uthorityalso agreed to the following: Take on responsibility for billing system users. Provide system b aclchaul. A ccept Motorolas position that roaming onto comm ercial networks w ill not be providedwithin the boundaries of the system, and that any roaming agreem ents outside the area(for mutual aid, etc.) w ill be the A uthoritys responsibility to create.

    It is important to note that San Jos~s representative voted no on the billing and roamingconcessions, and added a requirem ent that if backhaul is not acquired for free, the issue m ustreturn to the Board for a vote. A ll of these requirements carry significant unknow n costs.Baclchaul is the fiber or m icrowave transport network that connects individual base stations tothe core through w hich all data flows. For comm ercial carriers, building sufficient backhaul canbe the m ost expensive piece of bu ilding a wireless system after constructing tower sites, and it isoften the most underestimated cost. T he BayW EB system is designed to rely on BA RT fiber and

    HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILDecember 2, 2011Subject: Public Safety Broadband SystemPage 8 of 10the BayLO OP public safety microwave system. How ever, the BayRIC S A uthority does not havea signed agreement with BA RT - and according to the BOO M do cument - if BA RT fallsthrough, the A uthority is responsible not only for finding new backhau l, but also for Motorolasredesign costs. T he BA RT fiber network exists only along the BA RT l ines and so does notconnect to Santa C lara, San M ateo, or North Bay counties. The A uthority is looking foralternative public fiber that can connect in these regions as the BayL OO P m icrowave back haulhas a significantly sm aller bandwidth.W ith respect to performance, coverage, and regulatory requirements, M otorola would not agreeto provide ongoing compliance w ith FC C regulations through the 10-year life of the project. T hesystem will be compliant and meet FC C requirements that are in place on A pril 30, 2013. Thismea ns the system "as built" meets certain goals, but any improvem ents or compliancerequirements dow n the road are the A uthoritys responsibility.T he BayRIC S A uthori ty received staff reports from i ts BOO M Negotiations Team (A ttachmentF) and from its Technical Advisory Committee (Attachment G) at its December 1,2011, boardmee ting. T hese reports provide an overview of the potential benefits, risks, legal liability andcosts related to the BayWEB BOOM Agreement beyond those detailed in this report.T he BayRIC S A uthori ty is expected to vote on the BO OM A greement on January 19, 2012.C ouncil is asked to provide policy direction to the San Jos~ representative wh o w ill be voting onour citys behalf.Policy Alternative #1. Vote to approve and enter into the BOOMAgreement.RE SUL T . With an affirmative vote, the BayRIC S A uthority and Motorola would move forwardwith construction of B ayWE B beginning in 2012.Policy Alternative #2. Vote no on the BOOMAgreement.RESULT. If a no vote prevailed at the Board, the BayWEB project would not be built, and the$50,000,000 in ARRA funding would be returned to the Treasury. The BayRICS Authority andwaiver holders would have to explore other options for developing a broadband system forpublic safety - or wait until a nationwide network might be developed.Given the significant compromises made in developing the BOOM Agreement, the lack ofguarantee that the funds invested will result in a system that meets public safety needsthroughout the 10-years of the contract, and the fiscal risks to the Authority and its members,staff recommends Policy Alternative #2. Such a vote puts the ARRA funds at risk, but we canall cite projects where free money from federal or state sources have led to exponentially higherdownstream costs. Had a different - and transparent - course been taken by UASI staff in thebeginning, we would be having a different discussion.San Jo s~ staff does not come to this recomm endation lightly. Staff has invested thousands ofhours in the negotiat ions and related work to create the BayRIC S A uthority. This t ime has beenwell spent in ensuring that if the project goes forwa rd, it will be governed by an organizationcreated to operate transparently. A s a result of San Jos~s hard w ork and tenacity, there are

    CITY OF S A N J O S I~GUID ING PRINCIPLES FOR REGIONAL PUBLIC SAF ETY BROAD BANDAs approved by the City Council at its regular meeting of December 14, 2010.

    Guiding Principles: T he San Jos~ C ity C ouncil supports the development of regionalinteroperable comm unications options for our pub lic safety first responders. Ensuring the safetyof the public we serve is our top priority and duty as a C ity. Any system that is developed mustbe d one in a way that puts pub lic safety first and takes into accou nt the fiscal realities thatC alifornia cities and counties face. Those developing the system, both from the public andprivate sector, must act with comm itment to honesty, fiscal responsibility, and open governm ent.1)

    2)

    4)

    T he decision to enter into public-private partnerships or procure a system will be don ethrough accepted government procurement processes with decisions made through theappropriate governing body. E very aspect of financial benefit to the vendor as well asevery cost to each mu nicipality shall be fully d isclosed and available. C ritical details including op erational goals, system d esign, equipmen t site requirements,site access authority, system coverage, operating costs, expansion plans, governa ncestructure, process for transfer of system to public agencies, and public access will beprovided to cities, counties, and special districts prior to decisions being m ade.Governing bod ies and program staff will comply with state and local laws abou t~rocurement, sunshine, outside em ployment, conflicts of interest, and p ublic meetings,including the Ralph M.

    c. User Fees Paid by Mem ber AgenciesMotorola Service Fee

    The BOOM agreement provides that Motorola will charge a flat fee of $38.00 per month per user for thefirst year of service, or until July 1, 2014, whichever occurs later. After that date, Motorola may changethe fee annually on July I of each year. The amount of the fee shall be driven by the competitive"market rate" as determined by Motorola and reviewed by the Authority. It is impractical to predict atthis time whether the market rate for comparable services will increase or decrease. Therefore, thisreport assumes that the rate will remain S38/user/month for the first three years of the agreement.

Theparties intend for third party roaming agreements to be the "last resort" after other solutions areapplied and found to be lacking. Therefore, roaming costs may not materialize until the second year ofserv ice , a f te r o ther so lu t ions are a t tem pted.
