Cable Service

Belknap County has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 2025-02NH for cable service targeting three county facilities: the Belknap County Nursing Home, Corrections facility, and Sheriff's Department. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive cable services for approximately 135 total connections, requiring complete installation of cable equipment, connections, and programming. The project mandates work performance between 7:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, with the contractor responsible for all installation, testing, and ensuring code compliance. Sealed bids are due by 2:00 pm on May 15, 2025, with four copies of proposals to be submitted to the County Commissioners Office. A mandatory site visitation is required, and interested bidders must contact RJ Pauley at (603-729-1227) to schedule their visit. The proposal requires the selected vendor to provide comprehensive general liability insurance with $250,000 coverage per claim and $2,000,000 per incident, along with workers' compensation coverage. The contractor must also provide a one-year guarantee on labor, materials, and equipment against defects.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the RFP documentation. Invoicing will occur after work completion, with payment to be made within 45 days of invoice receipt and acceptance by the Nursing Home and Corrections facility. While the RFP does not explicitly state a budget range or potential award value, it covers cable services for 135 connections across three county facilities. The procurement appears to be open to qualified cable service providers capable of meeting the comprehensive technical and insurance requirements. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require specific integration considerations. The procurement seems focused on securing a comprehensive cable service solution that can meet the technological and operational needs of Belknap County's various facilities.
