Title
Conduit Lease Agreement with Beaver Creek Telephone Company
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Conduit Lease Agreement with Beaver Creek Telephone Company in the amount of $7,407.03 annually, totaling $148,140.60 for a 20-year term, to better facilitate the placement of underground fiber infrastructure needed for the Oregon City Operations Complex.
BACKGROUND:
The City recently purchased a new facility located at 13895 Fir Street in Oregon City, for future operations. Network communications (data, phone, video, SCADA) with this facility is critical to routine operations. The establishment of a conduit lease is a major component of the underground infrastructure that will allow Oregon City to install new fiber facilities between the City’s existing underground facilities near the Warner Milne Police Station and the Fir Street property. More specifically the lease includes a single existing inner-duct running a total distance of 6,673 feet approximately from 1300 Molalla Avenue to the 13895 Fir Street frontage. The conduit lease and the City’s proposed use allows for minimal impacts on the right of way in the following ways:
· Undergrounding - aligns with City desire to place utilities underground, minimizing overhead pollution within the right of way.
· Colocation - the use of already established underground infrastructure will allow for minimal construction impacts.
· Location - the conduit lease also provides benefit to future traffic signal facilities and connections for the improvement of overall transportation management safety along the Beavercreek corridor.
· Early Termination - the agreement allows for the early termination of the agreement should the city choose to install its own underground or aerial connection at a later date.
