About this file

This document is Amendment #1 to Invitation to Bid (ITB) 23-001 issued by the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) related to a state and local contract opportunity for technician labor and materials for cable installation and termination at the Anamosa State Penitentiary (ASP). The amendment revises Section 3.2.9 to allow for work outside of regular business hours with prior approval, adds new Section 3.3.6 requirements for phone cords, patch cords, conduit, fire stop, and a second Cat6 line to each tower, and clarifies that the awarded vendor shall focus on one building at a time. Bidders must provide costs for the materials listed in the Excel spreadsheet as a baseline estimate and may provide additional detailed breakdowns.

The contract opportunity is for the ASP, located in Jones County, Iowa, to establish a contract for technician labor and materials for horizontal and vertical copper and fiber optic cable installation and termination. Vendors meeting the technical specifications and requirements in Chapter 3 will have their bids evaluated. The ICN reserves the right to amend the ITB at any time, and vendors must acknowledge any amendments issued.

AMENDMENT #1 to ITB 23-001

Section 3.2.9 shall be revised and replaced, in its entirety with the following:

3.2.9 Work shall primarily take place during regular business hours, between 6:45am and 2:45pm;

unless ICN and or ASP determines it is necessary to work outside of regular business hours.

Vendor shall not work after-hours without prior approval, in writing, from the ICN and or ASP.

The following are added to the ITB and require Vendor to provide a positive response of confirmation when required, provide information requested and or how the Vendor complies with the requirement.

Section 3.3.6 shall be added to the ITB for the following items:

3.3.6.1 All phone cords, provided by the Vendor, shall be 10’ or less in length.

3.3.6.2 All patch cords provided by the Vendor to the phone shall be 10’ or less in length.

3.3.6.3 Vendor shall not be required to paint any installed conduit or surface raceway.

3.3.6.4 Fire stop shall be required on all floor or wall penetrations. Considering the number of wall penetrations is not identified in the ITB, Vendor may provide this as an individual cost component.

3.3.6.5 Vendor shall run a second Cat6 line to each of the towers.

3.3.6.6 Towers requiring SM fiber: each 6-fiber run shall be home run from the tower, to the associated IDF and fusion spliced to existing high-count SM fiber going to the MDF.

Clarification:

• The awarded Vendor shall focus on one building at a time. If the need arises, it will be an ASP decision to transition to a different building.

Bidder shall provide the cost components in Table 1 and also within Exhibit A, so ASP and ICN can compare estimates and timelines proposed. The ICN wants pricing based upon the material listed within the Excel spreadsheet, as a baseline estimate.

• Bidder may provide a separate price for an individual core drill.

• Bidder may provide additional detailed breakdown of installation accessories, such as conduit hangers, pull boxes, connectors and related.

Reminder,

1.2.4 Changes and Amendments. The ICN reserves the right to amend the ITB at any time. If the ICN amends the ITB, the ICN will post the amendment on its web site. It is suggested that all Vendors check the ICN web page periodically, for updates, amendments, etc. Vendors’ bid proposals must include acknowledgment of all amendments issued by ICN. If the ICN amends the ITB after the closing date of receipt of proposals, the ICN may, in its sole discretion, allow Vendors to amend their bid proposals in response to the ICN’s amendment.
