25-FS-20 - REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR FIBER OPTIC NETWORK PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

The Town of Tiburon is seeking one or more qualified Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to partner with the Town on a plan to collaborate on a fiber-to-the-premises (FTTx) buildout that would take advantage of utility coordination opportunities, planned capital improvement projects (CIP), and joint trenching processes.
This may be accomplished through a public-private partnership (P3) that leverages existing private assets, streamlines permitting and ROW access, and opportunistically deploys new fiber in development projects and road construction through a long-term agreement with a qualified Internet Service Provider (ILEC, CLEC, and/or CPCN).
The Town’s goal is to capitalize on existing public and private assets and related infrastructure to support its vision of ubiquitous fiber services for residents and businesses, improve municipal operations, and establish Tiburon as a leader in community connectivity.
