Communication
SUMMARY:
The Capital Improvement Project ( CIP) 26- 02 Citywide Fiber Optic Communication, established in June 2025, enables the purchase and installation of fiber optic communication wiring throughout the City of Lathrop. The fiber network is designed to interconnect various City systems across a wide range of sites, including wastewater treatment facilities, booster pump stations, stormwater stations, parks, City buildings, intersection traffic signals, and other facilities. This infrastructure provides essential communications redundancy, minimizes disruptions, and supports the monitoring and control of critical systems. As the City continues to grow, expanding the fiber network is vital to meet the increasing demands of municipal operations and ensure scalability for future development.
The proposed Service Contract with Hardwire Communications Inc. for $ 200, 00 is submitted pursuant to Lathrop Municipal Code ( LMC) 2. 36. 110 (B), as the vendor holds an existing California Multiple Award Schedule ( CMAS) contract that allows the City to add in and has provided pricing consistent with CMAS terms. Hardwire Communications has successfully completed previous fiber optic installations for the City and will continue to support both ongoing and future projects under this CIP to ensure consistency, security, and continuity in equipment and documentation.
Utilizing a single vendor promotes service and equipment standardization and minimizes performance variability.
To proceed with the continued installation of fiber optic communication wiring across the City, staff recommends that the City Council approve the Service Contract with Hardwire Communications for on -call fiber optic communication wiring services in the amount of $ 200, 00. Sufficient funding for this expense is available under CIP GG 26- 02.

CITYWIDE FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION
BACKGROUND:
The Capital Improvement Project ( CIP) 26- 02, initiated in June 2025, enables the Citywide installation of fiber optic communication infrastructure. The City began developing its fiber network in 2019, and this CIP continues the expansion of that network. The infrastructure connects key City systems across facilities such as wastewater and stormwater stations, booster pump stations, parks, intersection signals, and City buildings. It supports network redundancy, system control, and operational monitoring for critical infrastructure.
Hardwire Communications, which has previously completed fiber optic installations for the City, is well- acquainted with City facilities and operational requirements.
Pursuant to Lathrop Municipal Code ( LMC) 2. 36. 110 (B), Hardwire Communications holds an active California Multiple Award Schedule ( CMAS) contract ( No. 3- 17- 70- 3083B) with the California Department of General Services and the pricing for materials and labor is consistent with their CMAS agreement.
The proposed $ 200, 00 Service Contract also supports the planning and implementation of future projects under other CIPs that will rely on the infrastructure established by CIP GG 26- 02. As the City continues to grow, completing the fiber optic network is essential. To avoid delays across multiple projects, staff is requesting City Council approval of an on -call service contract with Hardwire Communications to install fiber optic communication wiring as needed.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Fiber optic infrastructure is essential for interconnecting City systems and facilities, ensuring reliable communication, operational control, and real- time system monitoring. It supports a wide range of critical sites, including wastewater treatment plants, booster pump stations, stormwater facilities, parks, public buildings, intersection signals and other City assets. This network provides communications redundancy, minimizes disruptions, and enables effective management of City critical operations. As the City continues to grow, expanding the fiber network is vital to meet increasing service demands and ensure scalability for future development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient funds in CIP GG 26- 02 to fund the Service Contract for on call fiber optic communication wiring services.
ATTACHMENTS:
