Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On September 29, 2023, staff applied for grant funding through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Last Mile Federal Funding Account (FFA) to implement our "Sacramento Last Mile Connectivity Project" to connect unserved communities to affordable broadband infrastructure. The unserved locations were selected based on criteria established by the CPUC's FFA program while overlaying the City network with the FFA Public Map, which identifies areas at the census block level lacking reliable broadband service of at least 25 Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps upstream. On September 13, 2024, the City received an award letter for $38,696,843 after the CPUC voted and approved the grant award in Resolution T-17835.
On October 15, 2024, Council adopted Resolution 2024-0309 authorizing staff to accept the Last Mile Connectivity Grant (G07000200) from the CPUC to expand internet access for unserved communities in Sacramento. These communities across California face many barriers to deploying resilient and accessible broadband networks. The supplemental agreement to increase the current

contract with Integrity Data & Fiber will allow the City to expand fiber networking to the communities identified in the project.
Policy Considerations: The requested action is in conformance with City Code Section 3.56, Articles I and III, which provide that the Council may award competitively bid contracts to the lowest responsible bidder. This report’s recommendation is also consistent with the requirements of the City’s Non-Professional Services Administrative Policy (API) AP-4101, Section 1.5 regarding nonprofessional services over $100,000.
The Sacramento City Code Section 4.04.020 and Council Rules of Procedure (Chapter 7, Section E.2.d) mandate that unless waived by a 2/3 vote of the City Council, all labor agreements, and all agreements greater than $1,000,000 shall be made available to the public at least ten (10) days prior to council action. This item was published for a 10-day review on February 21, 2025, in compliance with the City Code.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: The report does not constitute a “project” and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) [CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3);15378 (b)(2)]. Contracting for telecommunications support equipment and services is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is not a project subject to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) review. CEQA Guidelines section 15378 (b) (5).
Sustainability: Under Phase 1 of the City of Sacramento’s Climate Action Plan, all applicable “Green” technology initiatives will be considered prior to the purchase of IT cabling and wiring services.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: The telecommunications and cabling services will allow the City to achieve the deliverables of the Last Mile Grant. The Department of Information Technology is responsible for managing telecommunications cabling and wiring services throughout the City but lacks the necessary staff to meet urgent and/or high priority requests above normal daily workload.
Also, from time-to-time specialty telecommunications cabling projects require specialized equipment that the City does not own. Having a qualified telecommunications cabling and wiring contractor will help ensure the City’s requirements are met in emergency situations. Staff therefore recommend the issuance of a supplemental contract to Integrity Data & Fiber.
Financial Considerations: No additional funding is needed. The City adopted Resolution 2024-0309 accepting the Last Mile Grant with the CPUC to receive funding and reimbursement for the fiber
