COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Professional Services
Agreement and Non -Disclosure Agreement with Magellan Advisors, LLC, of
Denver, CO for Broadband Feasibility Study Services and Appropriate Funds
($84,800)
MEETING DATE: March 4, 2020
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION- Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Professional Services Agreement and Non -Disclosure Agreement
with Magellan Advisors, LLC, of Denver, CO for broadband
feasibility study services in an amount not to exceed $84,800 and
appropriate funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Lodi is working to better understand the feasibility and options to
expand access to high-speed broadband throughout the city.
Utilities across the country are in a similar position to Lodi regarding evaluation of broadband services.
Broadband services in suburban and rural environments have not advanced equally in all jurisdictions
and Lodi is looking to evaluate the funding opportunities and partnerships available to expand these
services for Lodi residents and businesses.
A broadband feasibility study for Lodi will examine the opportunities and risks of providing broadband
services to its citizens and businesses, focusing on the most achievable opportunities. To assist Lodi in
its evaluation of broadband opportunities, Magellan will provide a comprehensive study that will allow
Lodi to make informed decisions regarding the available business models and deployment options.
Magellan's study will provide an analysis of the business, technical, operational, financial, investment and
regulatory aspects of deploying broadband services within the municipal electric environment. The goal
of this study is to provide an objective and industry -based study that informs Lodi of the opportunities and
risks of expanding broadband in its community. This will include an analysis of available funding
opportunities for underserved communities, as well as evaluation of potential business models including
dark fiber leasing, municipal public/private partnership, and even broadband as a public service offering.
Per Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.075, engineering and financial service contracts are exempt from
bidding requirements and shall be awarded on the basis of professional qualifications and experience,
quality of service, past performance and negotiated prices. Over 400 utilities, municipalities and
cooperatives utilize Magellan's services to plan and deploy their networks nationwide and Magellan has
planned, engineered and deployed over 50 municipal fiber, wireless and hybrid networks with a total
value of $1 billion dollars.
The proposed study will take approximately six months to complete; the results of which will be presented
to the City Council at a future shirtsleeve meeting.

Project Methodology
Magellan understands that the City of Lodi would like to better understand the feasibility and options to
expand access to high-speed broadband in its community. Municipal electric utilities across the US are in
a similar position to Lodi regarding broadband. Broadband services in suburban and rural environments
have not advanced equally to services in the cities, yet residents of these communities need these services
to drive the many applications that require fast, reliable broadband. Municipal electric utilities often
evaluate the feasibility of providing these services, whether directly, or though partners that may share in
the financing, operations and management of broadband service.
A broadband feasibility study for Lodi will examine the opportunities and risks of providing broadband
services to its citizens and businesses, focusing on the most achievable opportunities. To assist Lodi in its
evaluation of broadband opportunities, Magellan will provide a comprehensive Broadband Feasibility
Study that will allow Lodi to make informed decisions the available options.
Magellan's Study will provide a comprehensive analysis of the business, technical, operational, financial,
investment and regulatory aspects of deploying broadband services within the municipal electric
environment. Our goal is to provide an objective and industry -based study that informs Lodi of the
opportunities and risks of expanding broadband in its community. We believe that a thorough analysis of
the following factors is key to making the right decisions and taking the right steps forward.
Methodology for Lodi Broadband Feasibility Study
• Work with Lodi to gain a clear understanding of its strategic goals, objectives and the roles it may play
in deployment of broadband services within its electric footprint;
• Determine the business and regulatory environment that Lodi should consider and analyze regulatory
risks;
• Utilize public broadband penetration data, existing service offerings and demographic information to
assess market demand, without the need to engage Lodi's customers directly, use market information
from similar communities to determine reasonable take rates and services;
• Assess demand from Lodi's internal and external stakeholders where appropriate to determine
demand for expanded fiber and broadband services;
• Develop a "State of the Market" for Lodi that describes the current broadband environment in Lodi,
current issues and gaps;
• Assess the feasibility of using Lodi's existing right of way, fiber, pole lines and other assets to reduce
the cost of broadband deployments in its electric service area;
• Determine the benefits of expanding broadband, in terms of economic development, education,
www.ma,gellan-advisorsxom % 2020 Magellan Advisors
healthcare, municipal and regional government and the quality of life of its constituents and electric
customers;
• Determine how a expanded fiber network would create added value for Lodi in terms of grid
automation, smart metering, IoT, smart city applications and additional efficiencies and cost reductions;
• Identify business and financial scenarios for Lodi to consider for deployment of broadband services,
paying special consideration to a range of feasible business model options such as retail, wholesale,
leasing and partnership models;
• Develop pro -formas and financial models for broadband deployment in the target areas, conduct
scenario and sensitivity analyses and determine probable outcomes in terms of financial metrics;
• Based on the findings, provide a cost/benefit and risk/reward analysis of the various options, workshop
these with the Lodi team and make any presentations to the City that are required.
Task 1: Broadband Regulatory Analysis
Magellan will provide a regulatory analysis of the broadband environment for California municipal utilities
considering deploying broadband. It will define the requirements under a range of different business
models, including wholesale, retail and partnership. It will analyze FCC, CPUC, federal law enforcement and
other statutory requirements that Lodi should be aware of and the potential risks and mitigation strategies
that Lodi can consider in the evaluation of broadband.
Task 2: Broadband Market Analysis
Magellan's market analysis will analyze the providers, services, pricing, speeds, territories and competition
within Lodi's market. We will document all publicly owned and privately -owned networks in Lodi and build
a comprehensive broadband map to illustrate how Lodi is served by broadband networks today. This
analysis will document current and planned fiber networks (access, metro, long-haul), facilities, data
centers, and related infrastructure in the Lodi electric footprint to determine supply-side dynamics of the
market. This information will be relevant for Lodi's analysis of the competitive market, its opportunities, its
risks and its strategic positioning of new broadband services.
Task 3: Broadband Data Collection & Benchmarking
Magellan will develop key data points and benchmarks that will be utilized throughout the Broadband
Feasibility Study, including:
• Accurate design and construction costs for fiber and wireless, specific to the Lodi market;
• Real-world operations and maintenance costs for deployed fiber and wireless networks;
• Real-world operational costs for content, staffing, customer service, management and other
functions;
• Geographic and density analysis of the market;
www.ma,gellan-advisorsxom g 2020 Magellan Advisors
• Demographic analysis of the market and other surrounding areas (residential single-family,
multifamily, small business, enterprise, education and healthcare, etc.)
Magellan Advisors will assist Lodi develop industry benchmarks to further the analysis of feasible
opportunities. Magellan will call on a number of resources to collect data on industry benchmarks,
including actual metrics that Magellan has retained through planning, construction and operation of
broadband networks, data from other broadband implementations around the country, unit costs from
local construction firms and other industry sources. Magellan will provide detailed benchmarks for
construction, bandwidth and capacity figures, operations and maintenance costs, estimated take rates,
demographic factors and other relevant data points of interest to Lodi.
Task 4: Conceptual Engineering Design
Magellan will provide conceptual engineering design to test the feasibility of deploying broadband services
to businesses, homes and community anchor organizations. This high-level design will provide analysis of
fiber implementation in key areas of the communities. We will utilize the latest design techniques and
technology standards to model the design and costs for outside plant fiber backbone, feeder, distribution,
service drops, equipment and services, as well as renewal and replacement of components for each class
of assets deployed in the network (fiber, field facilities, headend equipment, customer equipment). This
will also include an analysis of wireless infrastructure to serve the most rural residents, where fiber
deployment may be economically challenged.
We will incorporate all cost estimates for capital into our Broadband Financial Sustainability Model to
conduct further financial analysis of the proposed network. Our model provides comprehensive capital
and operational costs for buildout in year -by -year schedules that account for all revenues and costs borne
by Lodi's proposed network.
Task 5: Business Model Analysis
Magellan will incorporate capital and operational cost data collected through the conceptual engineering
design into our Broadband Financial Sustainability Model, a financial planning tool specifically designed for
assessing the feasibility of broadband utilities. Our Broadband Financial Sustainability Model ("BFS Model)"
is often employed by utilities, coops and bond underwriters to assess financial feasibility and make
informed funding decisions for broadband investment. This information will help Lodi evaluate various
business models for deploying broadband services, as each has different funding requirements, rates of
return and risk profiles.
Magellan will work with Lodi to define the most optimal business models to evaluate for broadband
deployment, which may include the following:
• Retail services to a range of customer segments, including residential or commercial;
• Retail services that leverage other utilities for outsourced content and services;
• Fiber leasing arrangements;
www.ma,gellan-advisorsxom 2020 Magellan Advisors
• Public-private partnerships with existing providers;
• Retail services to government, education, healthcare and anchor organizations;
• Dark fiber investment only, using private partners for operations and management;
• Others to be determined.
We will work with Lodi to identify the optimal business models by analyzing the financial outcomes of each.
This process will assess the funding requirements (upfront and ongoing), revenues, operating costs, debt
service costs, renewal and replacement and related costs borne by each business model.
We will build pro forma financial statements that forecast financial performance of each business model
and run sensitivity analysis on them to understand both the upside and downside risk. We suggest creating
profiles for each scenario that lay out the important business, operational, financial and regulatory aspects
of each option so Lodi can compare them side-by-side to one another. We propose to workshop the results
with Lodi to help you fully understand the options and utilize SWOT analyses to help guide your thinking
to determine which ones are most feasible for Lodi.
Task 6: Financial Analysis & Alternatives
Our models provide investment grade plans through which over $1 billion in broadband investments have
been made in the US. They are regularly used to support investment through private equity, traditional
capital markets and grant funding programs.
Using our financial tools, we will assist Lodi to test the financial feasibility of the various business model
options. We utilize formal financial planning methodologies to account for all revenues, costs, funding, debt
service, reserves and expansion costs in broadband networks, including engineer's estimates and
documentation for all figures represented in our models. The methodology we propose to use in testing
Lodi's business model options follows:
1. Develop cost models for the network, including one-time and ongoing capital expenditures to build
the network;
2. Develop the cost model for operations, including O&M, network operations, field services, staffing,
billing, and customer service;
3. Estimate renewal and replacement costs based on the economic lifetime of each asset class, assess
depreciation schedules, calculate book and tax depreciation;
4. From the market analysis, determine the customer segmentation, market sizes and
population/business growth rates;
5. Determine initial and ongoing take rates on the network across each type of customer (resident,
business, school, hospital, etc.);
6. Assess price elasticity in the current network and estimate how changes in price impact demand and
ultimately take rates;
7. Determine competitive rate cards for potential services using pricing information from the market
analysis and benchmarking information;
8. Develop financial statements including pro -forma income statements, balance sheets and statements
of cash flows;
www.ma,gellan-advisorsxom 10 2020 Magellan Advisors
9. Conduct sensitivity analysis on the project to determine overall financial sustainability using key
metrics such as free cash flow, debt service coverage, operating margin, and net income;
10. Define financial metrics to use for final assessment of financial performance, which may include
internal rate of return, return on equity, return on assets or others to be developed by Lodi and
Magellan;
11. Recommend the most feasible business model based on overall business and financial sustainability
and long-term value to Lodi.
Task 7: Analysis of the Findings, Workshops & Final Report
Magellan will bring together the data and analysis completed into a comprehensive report that will inform
Lodi of the various options to expand broadband in its community. It will detail the overall costs, feasibility,
opportunity, benefits to all stakeholders (electric utility, citizens, businesses, schools, healthcare, etc), risks
and possible paths forward. It will also provide detailed information from other municipal utilities that have
deployed broadband services using different business models, the processes they've used, challenges and
benefits that were received. The goal of the final report is to educate and inform Lodi's leadership of the
various alternatives. Magellan will deliver the final written report, high-level designs, financial plans and
other content created through the project to Lodi. We will be prepared to present the final report (and any
interim reports needed) to City leadership at your request.

This NON -DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of
2020 (the "Effective Date"), is entered into by and between the City of Lodi, a municipal
corporation, (the "Disclosing Party") and Magellan Advisors, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability
Company qualified to do business in California (the "Receiving Party") (individually, a "Party" and,
collectively, the "Parties").
RECITALS
The Parties entered into an agreement for professional consulting services effective
_, 2020 (the "Contract") for broadband feasibility study services.
2. In its performance of consulting services, the Receiving Party and its authorized
members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives may acquire and otherwise
gain access to certain Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, including, but not limited to
information, data, electronic files and/or drawings related to the City of Lodi's fiber optic network and
electric distribution system assets, which is exempt from public disclosure under California
Government Code section 6254.16.
3. The Disclosing Party would not share or disclose any Confidential Information to
the Receiving Party but for the legal protections against unauthorized disclosures intended to be
afforded by California law and this Agreement, and is relying on this Agreement in disclosing
such Confidential Information to the Receiving Party.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the foregoing recitals and mutual covenants, terms and conditions, the
Parties agree, as follows:
1. Confidential Information. " Confidential Information" means any and all fiber optic
and electric distribution system asset information of a non-public, proprietary or confidential nature,
in any form or medium, written or oral, concerning or relating to the Disclosing Party (whether
prepared by the Disclosing Party, its employees or agents, and irrespective of the form or means
of communication and whether it is labeled or otherwise identified as confidential) that is
furnished or made available to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party.
2. Exceptions. The Receiving Party agrees to maintain as confidential, to the extent
permitted or required by applicable law, all Confidential Information furnished or otherwise made
available to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the
provisions of Section 1, "Confidential Information" shall exclude (and the Receiving Party shall
not be under any obligation to maintain in confidence) any information (or any portion thereof)
disclosed to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party to the extent that such information:
(a) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure; or
(b) at the time of or following disclosure, becomes generally known or available
through no act or omission on the part of the Disclosing Party; or
(c) is known, or becomes known, to the Receiving Party from a source other than
the Disclosing Party or its Representatives (as defined herein), provided that disclosure by
such source is not in breach of a confidentiality agreement with the Disclosing Party; or
(d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without violating any of its
obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties; or
(e) is legally required to be disclosed by judicial or other governmental action;
provided, however, that prompt notice of such judicial or other governmental action shall have
been first given to the Disclosing Party, which shall be afforded the opportunity to exhaust all
reasonable legal remedies to maintain the Confidential Information in confidence, in accordance
with Section 7 below; or
(f) is permitted to be disclosed by a formal written agreement executed by and between
the Parties.
Specific information shall not fall within the exceptions of Sections 2(a) through 2(f) above merely
because it is embraced by more general information falling within such exceptions.
3. California Public Records Act. The Receiving Party acknowledges that the Disclosing
Party is a public agency subject to the requirements of the California Constitution, Article 1, Section 3
and California Public Records Act Cal. Gov. Code section 6250 et seq. The Receiving Party
acknowledges that the Disclosing Party may submit to or otherwise provide access to the Receiving
Party Confidential Information that the Disclosing Party considers to be protected from disclosure
pursuant to exemptions granted by applicable California law. Whether or not there is a request or
demand of any third party not a Party to this Agreement (the "Requestor") for the production,
inspection and/or copying of information designated by the Disclosing Party as Confidential
Information, the Disclosing Party shall be solely responsible for taking whatever legal steps the
Disclosing Party deems necessary to protect information deemed by it to be Confidential Information
and to prevent release of information to the Requestor (including the release of such information by
the Receiving Party). Under no circumstances will the Receiving Party be permitted to comply with
the Requestor's demand for disclosure of such Confidential Information that the Disclosing Party
deems confidential and not intended for disclosure to the general public, or otherwise publicly
disclose the Confidential Information to any person not authorized by law to receive such information.
4. Confidential Information. As practicable, the Confidential Information shall be marked
with the words "Confidential" or "Confidential Material" or with words of similar import. The Disclosing
Party shall instruct the Receiving Parties that information of a financial, personal, or proprietary
nature being conveyed orally and intended by the Disclosing Party to be covered by the terms of
this Agreement, is deemed Confidential Information. To the extent possible, the Disclosing Party shall
endeavor to mark any electronic document intended to be covered by the terms of this Agreement
with the words "Confidential" or similar words, or, if that is not possible or would be exceedingly
difficult, the City shall notify the Receiving Parties (for example, by covering e-mail transmitting the
electronic document) that the electronic document is Confidential Information. The City's failure,
for whatever reason, to mark any material at the time it is produced to the Receiving Party, or to
notify it that oral or electronic material is Confidential Information at the time it is provided, shall
not take the material out of the coverage of this Agreement for all time, and the Receiving Party
shall treat the material as Confidential Information once the City has notified it that the material is
to be covered by this Agreement.
2
5. Duty to Keep Confidential. The Receiving Party acknowledges that the Confidential
Information is proprietary and a valuable asset of the Disclosing Party and agrees that the Receiving
Party shall take reasonable precautions to ensure that such Confidential Information is safeguarded
against disclosure to unauthorized employees or third parties.
(a) The Receiving Party shall use the Confidential Information solely as permitted
by the Contract and shall not sell Confidential Information or otherwise disclose City utility
customers' personal information under any circumstances and without the prior written consent of
the City. The Receiving Party shall not disclose the Confidential Information, or portions thereof,
to any directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, advisors, agents, sub-
contractors and other representatives of the Receiving Party and their subsidiaries and affiliates,
including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, and financial advisors (collectively,
the "Representatives"), except to those who need to know such information for the purpose of
advising City and who agree to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) The Receiving Party agrees that any of the Representatives to whom the
Confidential Information is disclosed will be informed of the confidential or proprietary nature of such
information and of the Receiving Party's obligations under this Agreement. The Receiving Party is
responsible for any use of Confidential Information by any of its Representatives.
(c) The Receiving Party shall ensure that (i) any directors, officers,
representatives, advisors and sub -contractors with whom the Receiving Party shares such
information or who acquire knowledge of such information from or through the Receiving Party
regard and treat such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as strictly confidential and
wholly owned by either the Disclosing Party, and (ii) the Receiving Party shall not (and the
Receiving Party shall ensure that any directors, officers, representatives, advisors and subcontractors
with whom the Receiving Party shares such information or who acquire knowledge of such
information from or through the Receiving Party do not) for any reason, in any fashion, either
directly or indirectly, sell, lend, lease, distribute, license, give, transfer, assign, show, disclose,
disseminate, or otherwise communicate any such Confidential Information to any third party, or
misappropriate, reproduce, copy or use any such Confidential Information, in either case, for any
purpose other than in accordance with this Agreement.
(d) If the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives are requested or
required to disclose any Confidential Information, including terms and conditions being
negotiated, by law, regulation, the applicable rules of any national securities exchange or other
market or reporting system, oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or other
documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or any other similar
process, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of any
such request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party has an opportunity to seek a protective
order via Writ of Mandate or other appropriate remedy, or waive compliance with the provisions
of this Agreement.
(e) If the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to a specific request or requirement, the Receiving Party and its
Representatives shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is expressly
3
covered by such waiver and which is necessary to disclose in order to comply with such request
or requirement. The Receiving Party and its Representatives shall cooperate in a reasonable manner
with the Disclosing Party in attempting to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.
(f) If (in the absence of a waiver by the Disclosing Party) the Disclosing Party
has not secured a protective order or other appropriate remedy despite attempting to do so, and
the Receiving Party or one of its Representatives is nonetheless then legally compelled to
disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party or such Representative may, without
liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is necessary to
be disclosed. In the event that disclosure is made in accordance with this subsection, the
Receiving Party shall exercise, and cause its Representatives to exercise, reasonable efforts to
preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, including obtaining reliable
assurance at the sole expense of the Receiving Party that confidential treatment shall be
accorded any Confidential Information sofurnished.
6. No Liability. Reliance, or Obligation. Except as set forth in any formal written
agreement executed by and between the Parties, neither the Receiving Party nor any of its
Representatives shall be entitled to rely on any statement, promise, agreement or
understanding, whether written or oral, or any custom, usage of trade, course of dealing or
conduct. In addition, each Party understands and acknowledges that neither the Disclosing
Party nor any of its representatives, employees or agents makes any representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential
Information, and that neither the Disclosing Party nor any of its representatives, employees or
agents shall have any liability whatsoever to the Receiving Party or to any of its Representatives
relating to or resulting from the Confidential Information or any errors therein or omissions
therefrom.

result to the Disclosing Party, if any provision of this Agreement is violated, agrees that upon
any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or
any Representatives, that the City shall be entitled to seek an injunction or specific performance
prohibiting such conduct or any other relief as may be permitted by law.

that the Receiving Party promptly return to the Disclosing Party or destroy any or all documents
or other materials containing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and the Receiving
Party shall immediately comply with any such request. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of
the Confidential Information as contemplated by this subsection, the Receiving Party and its
Representatives will continue to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect thereto,
including all obligations of confidentiality.
9. Survival. The Receiving Party's obligations of confidentiality and non -circumvention
under this Agreement shall survive the termination of thisAgreement.
10. General Provisions.
