Specifications include, but are not limited to: Partner shall produce a high-level design for BOC’s service territory through which the distribution network must pass in order to create designated area wide connectivity. The high-level design shall, when implemented, provide FTTP service cost-effectively to the occupied premises. BOC shall provide details of the areas to be included, including locations of premises to be served, estimated route mileage, and sites identified as potential hub sites. A summary of these details is provided in Appendixes B: Geographic Scope of Service and C: District Size and Demographic Characteristics. The high-level design shall conform with the technical standards in Appendix F – Technical Standards and shall specify the locations of central nodes, the cable routes that would extend a GPON network from these nodes to the service area, the sizing of fiber optic cable necessary to provide current and future capacity to serve all premises, connectivity from central nodes to the middle mile and long haul needs of the network, and capacity for growth to serve areas that are not included in the initial service territory. The high-level design shall divide the initial service territory into Fiber Service Areas and shall provide approximate types, costs, and locations of other gear needed to provide services such as splice cases, MSTs, splitters, handholes, and other types of material that may be required. The high-level design shall be completed on a Geospatial Information System and shall be provided to BOC in a format that can be imported into other GIS systems. A numeric version of the design, listing lengths, quantities, and other specifications shall be provided in a format that is readable by Microsoft Excel.
