Fiber Optic and Network Modernization Service

The government authority located in Captain Cook, Hawaii, is seeking a contractor to provide fiber optic and network modernization services. The agency needs to establish a new structured fiber optic network cable connection from an existing location to a mounted wall rack. This project aims to modernize the local network infrastructure through the installation of high-quality fiber and Cat6 cabling. The scope of work covers furnishing and installing fiber and Cat6 cable, conductors, and devices both inside the project buildings and for external fiber and shielding. The contractor must provide and place all termination devices, including fiber distribution panels, bulkheads, couplers, and fiber splice modules. All fiber-optic connector splicing must be fusion-based with two fiber optic strands of the exact make and model on each end using factory-terminated pigtails, as epoxy splices are unacceptable. The project requires a minimum of 20-foot service loops for all backbone cables at internal building termination locations. Additionally, the agency requires 10-foot service loops in hand hole and vault locations at the first, last, and where direction changes by 90 degrees or more. The contractor must also provide and install approved fire-stopping systems in all communication pass-throughs, conduit, and cable tray wall and floor penetrations. This procurement is set aside exclusively for total small businesses. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of all contracted work must take place onsite at the Captain Cook facility. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. Bidders can submit their responses digitally via email or online. The source document does not specify any key dates or detailed evaluation criteria for this opportunity.
