Description

The City of San Diego seeks a private partner to install, operate, and maintain roughly 100 free public‑Wi‑Fi hotspots on city‑owned light poles throughout downtown. The partner will receive reimbursement for FCC right‑of‑way fees and a flat $10 k annual impact fee, but must also provide a media portfolio valued at $50‑75 k per year to promote city initiatives. The agreement is a non‑exclusive master use and occupancy contract for an initial five‑year term with an optional five‑year renewal. • Install, operate, and maintain ~100 Wi‑Fi access points on existing light‑pole infrastructure. • Provide branding, splash‑page signage, and a yearly media portfolio ($50‑75 k) for city‑promoted content. • Comply with FCC rules, city ordinances, data‑privacy (TRUST) and no‑surveillance requirements; carry required insurance and indemnification. • Reimbursement model includes FCC per‑site fees plus a $10 k flat annual city‑wide fee; partner bears all equipment, installation, and O&M costs.

Request for Sponsorship - CoSD WiFi Access Points Partnership

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $250,000

The contract does not specify a fixed fee; the City reimburses the partner for FCC per‑site fees (amount varies by site) and pays a flat $10,000 annual impact fee. Assuming an FCC fee of roughly $500 per site per year for 100 sites (≈ $50,000) plus the $10,000 flat fee, the City’s direct payments could be about $60,000 per year, or $300,000 over the 5‑year term. The partner must also fund a $50‑75 k annual media portfolio, which is a cost, not revenue. Therefore, net earnings after media costs could range from a modest profit on the reimbursement to a break‑even scenario. A reasonable ball‑park for total gross revenue is $250‑$350 k over five years, with net profit likely between $100‑$200 k after media expenses.
