Re: Improved Broadband Capacity for Rural Lewis County
Attention: Rieva Lester, Clerk of the Board
July 31, 2020
Executive Summary
Breeze, LLC, is pleased to submit our proposal for the Lewis County broadband initiative. A
small locally owned and operated wireless internet service provider, Breeze is based in
Centralia. We provide internet service to homes in greater Lewis county.
We are well aware of the challenges our communities are facing, aggravated by the lack of or
poor Internet services.
Families need speedy and reliable Internet service for e-learning, work from home,
telemedicine, small business enterprises, and connections as diverse as bill-paying and grocery
shopping to sharing information with family and friends.
Breeze internet service is entirely wireless (otherwise known as terrestrial or fixed Wi-Fi). It
works non-line of site and line-of-site scenarios, allowing us to establish service in a fraction of
the time and expense of running fiber connections.
Currently most customers in outlying areas are unable to receive DSL faster than 1 Mbps. Our
base service offering connection speed is 15 Mbps Down and 5 Mbps Up, with service speeds
of 50 Mbps/20 Mbps in most areas.
Proposal
Our goal is to use Broadband funds to make Breeze Internet services available to approximately
ten sites in Lewis County by providing new service options for at least 300 households. We
intend to use these funds for equipment, labor, licensing and technical services required to
execute this project. Our timeline to complete installation is approximately 50 days from contract
approval. This is a best case assessment considering the very short timeline available. We
anticipate customer installation taking the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. However our crews
will be ready to install immediately on site activation.
The locations in question are based on customer inquiries we received where service options
are poor and interest in Breeze services were high. These locations also represent strategic
presence to service the maximum number of households.
We have spoken with and had preliminary conversations to lease tower space at these
locations, but our access is not guaranteed. Breeze will conduct a best effort approach for
access to these sites. If we are unable to gain access to these sites due to technical, physical or
other limitations beyond our control or too cost prohibitive, we will seek alternative sites as time
permits.
Description of Services
1. Provide internet access for up-to ten geographic locations as identified in the mapped
document attached.
2. Provide a service offering of at least 25 x 3 Mbps, with higher speeds available.
3. Provide local sales and technology support as required.
County Provided Resources
1. $150,000 in reimbursable funds to complete the project.
2. Lease space on County-owned structures wherever possible.
3. Leased access to County-owned fiber and network infrastructure where available.
Milestones and Timeline
Below is a proposed schedule of deployment:
