A.
The
city desires to increase the diversity of fiber providers in the city
and increase the ease of broadband service access to businesses and
citizens. To this end, the city has adopted this open trench—joint
trench fiber standard for undergrounding utility distribution facilities.
B.
This
standard will allow for the placement of dedicated conduit assigned
to the city for future fiber deployments and will create a city owned
conduit network across the city.
