About this opportunity
Marathon County, Wisconsin, issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a comprehensive Broadband Feasibility Study to be completed by a qualified consulting firm. The study aims to evaluate and recommend strategies for deploying broadband service across Marathon County's 1,929 square miles, serving approximately 135,922 residents. Key deliverables include a written report analyzing broadband deployment methodologies, preliminary design modeling, business and financial modeling, cost estimations, GIS shapefiles, and cellular coverage analysis with implementation recommendations. The proposal evaluation criteria encompass compliance with RFP instructions, technical expertise, staff qualifications, similar project experience, delivery schedule, and cost-effectiveness. Specific proposal submission requirements included three copies of the proposal, to be hand-delivered or mailed to the Marathon County Administration Department by 3:00 p.m. CST on April 30, 2019. The project timeline outlined a short-list of 3-5 firms to be identified by May 6, 2019, followed by firm interviews from May 20-24, 2019, with contract negotiations to begin May 27, 2019, and project completion set for December 20, 2019.
The RFP required respondents to provide itemized flat-fee cost summaries for each task, including labor costs, overhead, profit, and direct expenses. Insurance requirements were substantial, mandating $1,000,000 in comprehensive general liability and professional liability coverage per occurrence, $1,000,000 in automobile liability coverage, and $1,000,000 in excess liability coverage. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned, the County reserved the right to reject any and all proposals, amend the project scope, and negotiate contract terms. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure details were provided in the documentation. The RFP did not specify a precise budget range, instead focusing on a lump-sum contract structure that would allow for comprehensive broadband infrastructure analysis and recommendations. Marathon County explicitly stated that it would not be liable for any costs incurred by proposers in preparing responses to the RFP.
