About this opportunity

Clackamas County is conducting a Request for Quotes (RFQ #2024-27) to procure on-call residential fiber drop construction services for the Clackamas Broadband eXchange (CBX) as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) broadband expansion initiative. The county seeks qualified local outside plant construction companies capable of performing comprehensive fiber optic cable construction to residential sites to enhance broadband speeds. Selected vendors must demonstrate the ability to respond to new fiber drops within 48 hours and work continuously until project completion. The procurement requires vendors to submit detailed quotes including company experience, equipment lists, per-foot pricing schedules, references, and relevant qualifications. Quotes are due on April 18, 2024, at 2:00 PM PST and must be submitted electronically via Bid Locker. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on vendor capabilities, pricing, experience, and responsiveness. The contract term is two years, with the potential for multiple vendors to be awarded contracts.

The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The maximum compensation for each contract is $95,000, with Clackamas Broadband eXchange providing most construction materials and contractors responsible for flagging. Contractors will be required to utilize prevailing wage rates and complete detailed pricing documentation, including unit costs for various construction methods such as boring, trenching, plowing, and aerial installation. The scope includes comprehensive fiber drop services involving pull fiber cable, splicing, risers, and home installation coordination. Vendors must demonstrate technical proficiency in outside plant fiber optic cable construction and the capability to integrate with existing broadband infrastructure. The project aims to expand residential broadband access through precise, efficient fiber drop installations across Clackamas County.
