Fiber Optic Construction Services

The Brazos Valley Council of Governments (BVCOG) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide turnkey fiber optic installation services in Robertson County, Texas. The scope of work includes the design, permitting, trenching, installation, and testing of underground fiber optic cables to establish a reliable and high-speed fiber network connection between the existing 350-mile BVCOGnet fiber ring and the City of Bremond. The purpose of this project is to support local communication needs and serve as a demarcation point for further expansion. The RFP provides detailed technical specifications and service requirements, and the evaluation criteria include cost, vendor qualifications, project plan, quality of materials, and support. Proposals are due on January 25, 2024, by 3:00 pm, and the contract term is not specified but may be extended.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations, but the Offeror Acknowledgement and Certification Form requires the disclosure of any subcontractors that would qualify as Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) or Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE). The RFP also does not list any incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that requires integration. The budget or award value for this project is not provided.
