About this opportunity

The City of Elberton, Georgia is seeking bids for the ElbertonNET System Upgrade, a comprehensive Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network construction project covering approximately 124 plant miles across multiple HFC Node Boundaries in Dooly County and Elbert County. The procurement involves constructing a next-generation fiber optic network infrastructure, which includes overlashing 607,118 linear feet of fiber optic cable and direct burial of 50,729 feet of fiber. The primary objective is to transition 3,705 existing ElbertonNET subscribers from a legacy HFC system to a new XGS/25G-PON fiber-optic network, significantly enhancing network capacity, reliability, and scalability. Bidders must submit a comprehensive bid package containing a detailed cost summary, bid certification, federal work authorization forms, and a mandatory bid bond of at least 5% of the total bid amount. The bid is scheduled to be opened on July 30, 2025, with a projected project completion timeline of 18 months from contract execution. The City will supply all materials and cabling, while the selected contractor must provide labor, tools, and equipment to complete the installation.

The contract does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will be required to provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in bodily injury and property damage liability. The project will cover areas within Elberton city limits and surrounding rural areas of Elbert County, with fiber routing along main roads and supporting distribution configurations of 12, 24, and 36-fiber counts. While the exact contract value is not specified in the documentation, the extensive infrastructure requirements and 124-mile construction scope suggest a significant investment. Potential bidders should note that the project involves complex network infrastructure work, requiring specialized expertise in fiber optic installation, network engineering, and municipal telecommunications infrastructure deployment. The successful contractor will need to demonstrate technical proficiency, robust project management capabilities, and the ability to execute a large-scale network upgrade within the specified 18-month timeframe.
