About this opportunity

The Town of Farragut, located in Knox County, Tennessee, is seeking proposals for RFP #2025-08 Farragut Fiber Optic Cable Implementation, a comprehensive project to expand the existing municipal fiber network. The procurement involves constructing, installing, and testing new fiber optic communications equipment across approximately 8.070 miles, which includes splicing new fiber optic cables to existing infrastructure and terminating cables in new patch panels inside buildings. Bidders must be pre-qualified through TDOT and submit comprehensive documentation, including proposal certification, bid forms, and proposal bonds. Proposals are due on November 18, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with a sealed bid submission to 239 Jamestowne Blvd., Farragut, TN 37934. A non-mandatory virtual pre-bid conference was held on October 25, 2024, and multiple addenda have been issued clarifying project specifications, including technical requirements for network equipment like Ruckus ICX 7550 Layer 3 Ethernet Switches and specific fiber optic cable specifications. The project has a twelve-month completion timeline from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages applicable for project delays.

The contract is funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which introduces specific federal procurement requirements including compliance with 2 CFR Part 200, domestic procurement preferences, and equal employment opportunity provisions. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the procurement requires strict adherence to federal regulations and non-discriminatory bidding practices. Creek Enterprises LLC was the sole bidder, submitting a comprehensive bid with a base price of $1,187,654.00 and an alternate bid of $111,265.25, totaling $1,298,860.25. The project does not involve integration with existing ethernet switches, as that work will be completed by others after project acceptance. Contractors must obtain necessary licenses from the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance and comply with detailed technical specifications for fiber optic cable installation, communications equipment deployment, and infrastructure expansion. The Town of Farragut will maintain the network after construction and testing, with the contractor responsible for maintenance prior to system acceptance testing.
