About this file
This document is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Nevada Office of Science, Innovation and Technology for a Fiber Marketing and Construction Partner for the High Speed Nevada Phase II - Nevada Middle Mile Network project. The project aims to expand affordable, reliable, and scalable broadband access across unserved and underserved residential and business locations in Nevada. The RFP outlines the project goals, technical specifications, scope of work, application process, scoring criteria, and key milestones. It seeks a partner to provide fiber infrastructure, including two six-way innerduct systems, and to manage the marketing and sales of lit services, IRU/dark fiber, and last-mile internet access. Proposals are due by October 16, 2023, and the selected partner is expected to begin work no later than December 2023, with the project required to be completed by September 30, 2026.
The RFP provides an overview of the funding sources for the project, which include the Capital Projects Fund and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's Enabling Middle Mile Program. Bidders are required to submit two separate budgets, one for the I-80 route and one for the US93 route. Compliance with Treasury and NTIA rules, as well as Nevada's prevailing wage requirements, is mandatory. The RFP encourages bidders to articulate how they will ensure the participation of minority, women-owned, and labor surplus area firms in the project.
