The procurement will implement a comprehensive telecommunications network, including over 8,500 linear feet of conduit, more than 5,400 linear feet of 144-fiber optic cable, and associated networking equipment such as fiber distribution cabinets, field switches, and modules. The project requires directional bore installation methods connecting intersections along Heards Ferry Drive, utilizing communication infrastructure improvements for the municipal fire station. Bidders must be pre-qualified by the Georgia Department of Transportation and capable of performing at least 51% of the work directly. The bid is due on June 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for May 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM.

The contract is funded through the Sandy Springs Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) program, with a project duration of 365 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly detailed, contractors must submit comprehensive documentation including bid bonds, insurance certificates, drug-free workplace certifications, and immigration compliance forms. The project includes a $40,000 miscellaneous construction allowance and provisions for liquidated damages of $500 per day for unexcused project delays. The city will provide field switches, which the selected contractor will be responsible for installing. Though a specific total contract value is not specified, the extensive infrastructure work and technological components suggest a significant investment in municipal communications infrastructure. The project is entirely located within Congressional District No. 13 and will require coordinating with local utility services to ensure minimal disruption to existing communications and transportation systems.
