Pole Attachment Audit Services

The City of Georgetown, Texas, is seeking a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive pole attachment audit services. The agency needs to resolve discrepancies between its existing joint-use records and the actual physical attachments currently installed on its utility poles. This project will establish an accurate inventory to improve ongoing joint-use management and ensure appropriate corrective action for any identified violations. The scope of work requires field data collection to capture pole identification numbers, GPS coordinates, heights, classes, conditions, manufacturing years, and material types. The selected contractor must measure span lengths between poles and document all attachments, including telecommunications, cable television, broadband, fiber, and wireless facilities. Field crews must also capture geotagged photographs of all audited poles and their associated attachments. The data management phase requires cross-referencing all field findings with the utility's joint-use and pole attachment records to identify unreported or misattributed attachments. The contractor must develop a comprehensive pole attachment inventory database compatible with the city's geographic information system and asset management system in shapefile or geodatabase format. The agency also requires the contractor to reconcile violations and communicate directly with attachment owners to facilitate corrective actions. Only onshore contractors operating within the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The selected contractor must perform all field data collection onsite in Georgetown, Texas. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal, and the agency is currently seeking budget proposals to determine the contract value. The agency will host a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 15, 2026, to address initial inquiries. Bidders must submit all clarification questions no later than June 18, 2026. The agency intends to award a contract with a performance period of one year.
