Request for Proposals - Clermont County Broadband Expansion Phase 2 - Fiber Construction County Campuses

Clermont County is seeking proposals for a Broadband Expansion Phase 2 project focused on fiber construction across county campuses. This Request for Proposals (RFP) aims to enhance digital infrastructure by soliciting qualified contractors to design and implement comprehensive fiber optic network installations for various county facilities. The procurement is specifically targeting fiber construction services that will expand and improve broadband connectivity across Clermont County's governmental campuses. Proposals are due by July 31, 2025, with the solicitation initially posted on June 25, 2025. Interested vendors must carefully review the detailed requirements and prepare comprehensive technical and cost proposals that demonstrate their capability to successfully execute large-scale fiber network infrastructure projects. Potential respondents should be prepared to provide detailed network design plans, demonstrate technical expertise in fiber optic construction, and show proven experience in municipal and county-level telecommunications infrastructure deployments.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, Ohio typically encourages participation from minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises in public infrastructure projects. The broadband expansion initiative suggests potential opportunities for local and regional telecommunications contractors with specialized expertise in fiber optic network construction. Although exact budget ranges are not specified, county-level broadband infrastructure projects often represent significant investments ranging from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars. The project's second phase implies that there may be existing infrastructure or previous broadband expansion efforts that the selected contractor will need to integrate or complement. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical compatibility with existing county network systems and show a comprehensive understanding of Clermont County's specific technological requirements and future connectivity objectives.
