F. Termination of License Agreement with SiFi Networks Rosemead LLC On
January 10, 2023, the City entered into a License Agreement with SiFi
Networks Rosemead LLC ("SiFi") for the design, construction, and
operation of a fiber optic network within the public right-of-way. Since
execution of the Agreement, SiFi has not met key contractual milestones,
including submission of complete design plans and commencement of
construction. Following multiple discussions and written
correspondence, the City issued a formal Notice of Default. SiFi has not
cured the identified deficiencies within the required timeframe and has
instead requested substantial extensions to the Agreement schedule.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Find that SiFi Networks Rosemead LLC is in material breach of the
License Agreement dated January 10, 2023; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to terminate the Agreement pursuant to
Section 8 of the Agreement.
