OSP Log #23230205, Link 903 (4F)

Clinton Co, Clinton, IA

Along N Bluff Blvd from N 6t St to Springdale Dr.

Overview of the Project:

The ICN requires relocation of existing 4 fiber cable along N Bluff from N 6th St to Springdale Dr in Clinton, IA.

Relocation will consist of placement of approximately 970-ft of minimum of 1.25-in HDPE. Contractor will place a total of two (2) handholes with lids set at grade. A new 48-strand OSP armored fiber optic cable shall be placed through the new conduit and coiled evenly in both handholes. Existing ICN handhole at N Bluff Blvd/Springdale Dr will need to be removed after both IRHTP and Segra cables have been removed after the splice.

Please see the maps and pictures in the attached ENGINEERING PLAN. All work to be completed per the attached

STANDARD INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS and TYPICALS except where noted within this STATEMENT

OF WORK (SOW). Upon notification of completion, the ICN will perform a review using the attached

PUNCHLIST. Any corrections will need to be made prior to ICN issuing payment for work completed.

The bidder is expected to assess the terrain prior to submitting bids. The ICN anticipates rock will be encountered during the construction. The extent to which rock is encountered is not known nor defined. Therefore, the contractor is expected to submit a bid which anticipates encountering rock, the extent of which should be reasonably ascertained by the contractor, and agrees to the following definition of rock:

Rock Bore Definition: Defined by ICN where an All-Terrain Horizontal Directional Drilling machine with dual drill pipe, bits, housings, and backreamers—designed specifically for rock applications are required to complete the boring operation. Experienced operators capable of utilizing this equipment are also required. The ICN expects that the bidder owns and is able to operate the described equipment.
