Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Salem and the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Salem, hereinafter referred to as “City”, is considering establishing City-provided/initiated broadband and/or free WiFi in downtown Salem in order to achieve various economic and social benefits. Consideration for establishment of these distinct City-provided/initiated services is currently limited to downtown Salem (designated by the Riverfront Downtown Urban Renewal Area (URA)). In support of these considerations, the City of Salem is seeking proposals from prospective contractors to execute a Broadband/WiFi Study that will help inform the separate decisions whether to implement the distinct services of City-provided/initiated broadband and/or free WiFi in downtown Salem, and if applicable, to develop a Strategic Business Plan for the recommended course of action that will maximize financial, economic, and social benefits to the City, the public, and the overall business community. Core to this project are the execution/development of a Market Analysis, a Comprehensive Feasibility Analysis that assesses business models for service delivery, a recommendation, and if applicable pending preceding findings as well as with City input and approval, a Strategic Business Plan. Ultimately, the deliverables of this project may be used by the City to generate a business case and benefits management plan that would inform decisions regarding the design, implementation, and operation of the distinct City-provided/initiated broadband and/or free WiFi services.
