The City is seeking proposals from qualified fiber optic network design and
construction contractors to implement a Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP)
network capable of providing high-speed internet, video, and telephone
services to all premises within the City. For the purposes of this RFP, the
project is confined to the City Limits only, designs must accommodate the
future expansion into the electric service territory at a future date. The
contractor’s scope shall be limited to the physical layer of the network,
including fiber optic cable, conduits, connectors, and related components, but
does not include network electronics.
The FTTP network shall be designed to enable advanced broadband internet
access and related services. The network must be designed and constructed
to facilitate future capacity expansion, as well as to support multiple candidate
architectures for network electronics deployment and service delivery. This
requires fiber optic cable strand counts and network architecture that reflect
these future growth objectives. It must also accommodate current and
emerging FTTP network technologies in the design.
Bonds will be required if the City enters into phase 2 (Construction) with the Contractor.
