Provide a comparative analysis of the offerings between companies <br />providing the same type of services. <br />- Nature of services, including speed <br />- Monthly recurring costs <br />- One -time costs <br />Provider's likelihood of success <br />4. Conduct Conceptual Network Design and Costing Review <br />Virchow Krause will look at a variety of wireless solutions (Wi -Fi, WiMAX, <br />Phased Array, BRS, EBS, and MMDS) and the tradeoffs of cost and <br />performance. In addition, the network models can be applied to the business <br />case to assist in determining which approach best serves the needs of Saint <br />Anthony Village in the long -term. This allows Saint Anthony Village to make <br />an informed decision on what network to pursue. <br />A review of advantages and disadvantages of the technologies will be provided <br />in this step. In addition, we will provide an estimate of the number of nodes <br />required to provide full coverage of Saint Anthony Village. We will also <br />provide backhaul requirements based on both wireless and fiber transport and <br />the topology of Saint Anthony Village. The results of this step will provide a <br />conceptual high -level design and projected implementation costs for the <br />involvement models identified. This conceptual design will include installation <br />requirements and costs. <br />S. Assess Operation Issues <br />Plans will be inclusive for a phased build out, beginning with internal needs and <br />progressing with recommendations for the phasing in of the remainder of the <br />system. <br />We will also review operational and other costs associated with the project that <br />can directly impact the feasibility of the project including: <br />• <br />Staffing levels, associated benefits and salaries <br />• <br />Billing issues including development and interface with existing <br />systems <br />• <br />Network management based on type of network <br />• <br />Legal and consulting fees <br />• <br />Business initiation costs <br />• <br />Franchise expenses <br />• <br />Network maintenance and insurance <br />• <br />Pole attachment and/or Right of Way access and fees <br />• <br />Make ready costs <br />• <br />Marketing <br />• <br />Office expenses <br />® <br />• <br />Facility expenses (lease vs, purchase) <br />Vlrchow <br />These issues will be discussed in the report and quantified in the cost/benefit <br />Krause <br />&company <br />analysis. <br />4 <br />
