This concept was presented to both the Administrative and Public Works Finance
Committee’s on August 28<sup>th</sup> during which staff was directed to
pursue the development of a grant application for this project. As staff
advised the Committee’s, circumstances require that such an application
must be submitted and postmarked by no later then September 18<sup>th</sup>,
2006 for consideration in the October award cycle. One requirement of the
RCBG program is to have a certified grant administrator secured for the
project. Staff conducted the small purchase direct solicitation RFP
process in accordance with the RCBG program requirements. Requests for
proposals were sent to three certified grant administrators located within our
region. Responses were received from Walter M. Steed and Associates and
the Clearwater Economic Development Association. After the selection of
the successful respondent, staff will negotiate the contract terms and bring
forward an administration contract for the Council’s approval. The LEDC
has secured the services of a grant writer and has committed to cover any
expenses incurred for the preparation of the grant application which is
anticipated to be approximately $3,500.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

preliminary network design and cost estimate for the proposed project which are
attached. The total cost of construction is estimated at approximately
$377,000 with additional funds for contingency, engineering design and
construction management, and grant administration which totals
$500,000.00. It is anticipated that there is sufficient in-kind match
available from the City’s existing fiber network investment and the upcoming
ITS project construction and that no direct financial match will be
required. LEDC is currently preparing a draft grant application which
will be presented to the Committee at the meeting for their consideration.<b><span

within the fiber network that could be made available for lease. Staff
would like to develop a policy for the utilization of this excess capacity to
define allowable uses and to ensure that all parties are treated equally.
Staff has drafted a proposed fiber use policy for the Council’s
consideration. The provisions of the fiber use policy are consistent
