WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The City of Palo Alto Utilities Department is seeking a consulting firm to develop an updateable Fiber Enterprise Pro Forma and related decision-support analysis. The City has provided dark fiber services for more than 20 years and began offering residential fiber internet service in May 2026. It now wants a transparent, staff-maintainable financial model that lets its own team test scenarios and make informed planning decisions about the long-term financial sustainability and direction of the fiber enterprise.

HOW TO SUBMIT
Proposals must be submitted electronically through the City's OpenGov procurement portal (https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/palo-alto-ca) and must reach submitted status before the close time; the portal accepts nothing after it. To modify a proposal, unsubmit it, make the changes, and resubmit. Upload the technical proposal without any fees or costs, and upload the cost file (the City's cost proposal attachment) separately. Also complete and upload the Firm Experience form, provide one form of independent evidence of financial stability, and complete the online Proposer Questionnaire. Proposals follow the order of the content sections in the RFP, with exceptions to the sample agreement listed in a Proposal Exceptions section. Direct questions through the Questions and Answers section of the OpenGov project listing, and acknowledge all addenda in the submittal.
