Broadband Implementation Project Services

The government authority located in San Luis Obispo, California is seeking broadband implementation project services. The agency requires the installation of fiber optic cables in accordance with manufacturer requirements. This project addresses the need for high-performance broadband infrastructure utilizing specific wavelength and physical cable standards. The scope of work covers the installation and splicing of fiber optic cables capable of supporting 288, 576, and 864 Mass Fusion fiber splices. The system must be expandable to accommodate additional cable ports or splicing capacity in the future. Bidders must ensure wavelengths of 1310/1383/1550 nm with maximum attenuation of 0.35/0.35/0.25 db/km, a maximum short-term tensile strength of 606.98 lbf, a minimum bend radius operation of 7.99 inches, and a minimum bend radius installation of 12.01 inches. Splicing requirements dictate that fibers must be fused using apparatus applicable to the specific fiber type and size. The insertion loss of the splicing unit must not exceed 0.2 dB on single-mode fibers and 0.25 dB on multimode fibers. The agency is requesting proposals to establish the budget for this project. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency allows the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 26, 2026. Responses must be submitted digitally via email or online.
