SCOPE OF WORK
FIBER OPTIC. DESIGN SERVICES
16TH STREET
CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
Katz, Okitsu & Associates has prepared this scope of work for engineering design services
including the design of a fiber optic connection between City Hall and the proposed Fire
Station along 166 Street at D Avenue. We understand that the City has a current traffic
signal fiber optic trunkline that runs.from City Hall along National City Boulevard and a
portion of this existing conduit may be used to connect to. City. Hall from •1.6t Street. We also understand that the City has a new Fire Station planned to be built over the next 18
months and this needs to be connected to City Hall via a fiber optic connection.
This scope includes the design of conduit and fiber.. installation to make the final
connections as well as coordination with the Fire Station Architect and the City's MIS
department to determine the end hardware required for. the connection. .Ultimately this.
project will provide the City with a biddable set of drawings and specificationsthat canbe
constructed and the fiber connections and fmal testing done in conjunction with the
construction of the Fire Station.
TASK 1.0 - FIBER OPTIC PS&E DESIGN
1.1- Pre -Design Coordination .
At the onset of the project, KOA will meet with you to discuss the proposed planand
relevant information necessary to provide the fiber connection..
1.2- Base Mapping
Katz, Okitsu & Associates will prepare base mapping for the portions of work included in
this scope. The base mapping created from existing as-builts.and field measurements will
include centerline, striping, curb alignments, manholes and curb inlets. This information
will be used to develop plan sheets at 1"=40' scale. This base plan information and proposed
fiber optic route would be prepared electronically.
1.3 - Field Review
The project area site will be inspected with respect to needs for preparing these plans.
Physical street improvements, utilities and obstructions, signing and striping, and other
relevant items would be located in the field with sufficient precision to be shown accurately
on the plans. All information obtained from records would be verified in the field in
conjunction with this review.

The PS&E development in the Final Design Phase will include incremental submittals for.
review. We estimate that at least 2 design sheets will be necessary :in=addition to a title
sheet.
SUBMITTAL OF PLANS
The completed plans would be signed by a licensed KOA Civil Engineer. KOA. will be
developing a stand alone bid package for the construction and:implementation:of tile fiber
optic connection of City Hall with the proposed Fire Station; Each submittal=.will iiichide a
at least two set of plans with specifications and cost estivate for submission: and :checking:

AGENDA ITEM NO. 6
ITEM TITLE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT WITH
KATZ, OKITSU AND ASSOCIATES TO PERFORM DESIGN SERVICES NECESSARY TO RUN FIBER
OPTIC CABLE BETWEEN CITY HALL AND THE FIRE STATION AT 16TH STREET AND D AVENUE
PREPARED BY Stephen Kirkpatrick DEPARTMENT Public Works/Engineeriing
336-4580
EXPLANATION
Katz, Okitsu and Associates was the professional engineering consultant used to design the Regional Traffic Signal
Interconnect project. The project connected signals in National City, San Diego, and Chula Vista. KOA Associates
was selected for the work through a qualification based selection process. The hiring of consultant was
administratively handled by San Diego, but each municipality managed the design construction within their
boundaries. The construction was recently completed and the plans were found to be excellent.
At this time the City has a need to install fiber optic cable between City Hall and the Fire Station. There is existing
conduit in National City Boulevard between City Hall and 16th Street. New conduit must be installed on 16th Street
to D Avenue. Fiber cable will then be pulled through the conduit and terminated in the City Hall Data Center and
the new Fire Station MIS room. Fiber will then be used for all routine and emergency communications (voice and
data) between City Hall, the new library, the police and fire stations, and the public works yard.
KOA's scope of work includes the design of the fiber run and the terminations in City Hall and the Fire Station. MIS
and the fire station contractor will provide the necessary equipment at each end of the fiber. The project to install
the conduit and fiber will be a competitively bid construction project. The scope of work and fee proposal is detailed
fully in the attached contract document
