About this opportunity
The City of Colquitt and Miller County, Georgia, are seeking proposals for a comprehensive fiber optic network deployment through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on February 10, 2025. The project aims to construct approximately 126.6 miles of distribution fiber network, serving 1,069 unserved homes across the jurisdictions, funded by Capital Projects Fund grant GA-0013971. Prospective Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and vendors must deliver a network capable of providing gigabit download speeds, incorporating drop network access points (NAPs), and maintaining promised speeds during peak hours. The project requires both aerial strand and lash construction, with a preference for underground facilities. Evaluation criteria will assess company profile (10 points), company experience (10 points), project execution (10 points), and technical requirements (20 points). Key deadlines include final questions being accepted until February 24, 2025, with city responses by February 28, 2025, and proposals due by 5:00 PM EST on March 21, 2025. The network must be fully constructed, spliced, tested, and service-ready by December 31, 2026.
The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project incorporates a $395,300 equipment installation cost from a third-party engineering firm and allows respondents to leverage existing city-owned infrastructure. Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format and remain valid for 120 days from submission. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the grant funding of GA-0013971 suggests significant financial support for the network deployment. The city reserves the right to modify network design to optimize service to the underserved community. Respondents will need to demonstrate technical capabilities to integrate with potential existing infrastructure and provide a comprehensive solution for broadband access in Colquitt and Miller County.
