About this opportunity

The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management & Budget, on behalf of the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure, is soliciting bids for the SmartPGH Cable Installation project (IFB #2025-IFB-025) in Allegheny County. The procurement involves the installation of 96-count fiber optic cable trunk lines between the Traffic Management Center (TMC) and specified termination points, with comprehensive requirements for fiber optic splicing, hub cabinet installation, and testing. The project will span multiple city streets including Forbes Avenue, First Avenue, Grant Street, and Boulevard of the Allies, focusing on developing a robust urban communication infrastructure in Pittsburgh's Central Business District. Key deliverables include conduit installation, fiber optic cable deployment, hub cabinet replacement, termination panels, and extensive system testing with specific performance standards for signal loss and network integrity. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 140 consecutive calendar days from the written Notice to Proceed, with a bid response deadline of March 18, 2025, at 2:00 pm. A pre-bid meeting was scheduled for February 25, 2025, with a site visit at the intersection of Forbes Avenue and Armstrong Tunnel, and the question submission deadline was March 11, 2025.

The contract includes specific set-aside designations for minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business enterprises, with established participation goals of 18% for minority businesses, 7% for women-owned businesses, and 5% for veteran-owned businesses. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage regulations for work orders totaling $25,000 or more and will need to coordinate with local entities including Pittsburgh Regional Transit and other ongoing infrastructure projects. The project requires integration with existing utility systems, particularly Duquesne Light Company (DLC) infrastructure, and mandates strict safety protocols for manhole entry and underground work. Bidders must include shipping and delivery costs in their pricing, with purchase orders to be F.O.B. Destination. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the detailed pricing proposal includes 17 line items covering various aspects of cable installation, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in fiber optic networking, traffic maintenance, and compliance with complex urban infrastructure installation requirements.
