Request for proposal - drop & premise installation for ftth

The City of Bainbridge, Georgia is seeking qualified contractors to provide labor and installation services for a Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) network in Dade County. The contractor will be responsible for all drop and premise installations, including both aerial and underground services. Key deliverables include arranging meetings with premise owners, installing network access equipment, and provisioning. Contractors must meet detailed technical specifications and provide pricing for various FTTH drop lengths, aerial and buried, as well as per customer installation and provisioning. A mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on September 24, 2024, and bids are due by October 8, 2024. The contract term will be 6 months to 1 year from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Pricing, payment terms, and successful past project experience will be the key factors considered in the award.

The City has not designated any set-aside requirements for this procurement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified. The City is providing the installation materials, so the successful contractor will need to integrate with the City's existing FTTH infrastructure and technology. While an award value or budget range was not provided, the City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, indicating flexibility in the contract value.
