Key Biscayne Master Plan 043944000.18w_Key_Biscayne_MP(forJooMag) | Page 48

VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES — MASTER PLAN Existing AT&T and Comcast pedestals in Key Biscayne  Conduit will be provided for service cable between the pedestal and the facility to be served.  Conduit and pullboxes are to be NEC compliant for communications service and conduit shall be gray in color.  Equipment and cabling will be provided and installed by AT&T. Conduit and pullboxes will be furnished and installed by the Village’s contractor. Initially, AT&T plans to design a like-for-like coaxial based network conversion. This being the case, they plan on reusing all of their existing ground level Service Area Interface (SAI) cabinets that are found throughout the Village. In the future, AT&T has reported that they are budgeting to install a fiber optic system overlay. To implement this upgraded system, AT&T will require new Fiber Distribution Cabinets (PFP) and easements throughout the Village. In a recent meeting, AT&T indicated they are open to the opportunity the underground project provides to install a Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) network. At the time of this master plan AT&T was not under contract by 44 the Village to prepare detailed design plans, therefore AT&T representatives could only speak in generalities about the infrastructure necessary for a “like for like” conversion or a FTTP conversion. In most cases, PFP cabinets will be located near existing SAI cabinets or near an existing controlled environment vault (CEV). It should be noted that many service pedestals, below-grade vaults, and handholes will be required for the overhead to underground conversion, but this equipment is not considered significant. Locations for all equipment elements will be determined during the detailed design for each phase. AT&T noted the copper system pedestals are different than the fiber system pedestals. Easements should provide space for both copper and fiber pedestals since the fiber pedestal will need to be installed and made operational prior to the removal of the copper pedestal during the future fiber overlay program. Although the Village has expressed a desire to upgrade to FTTP, and this may be the more cost-effective approach to an AT&T conversion, this upgrade does not come without its challenges. AT&T sells Legacy services to residents and businesses that presently have no equivalent for with a
