The work consists of constructing a municipality fiber optic network for the benefit of the City and its IT, ITS, and emergency response systems by the fall of 2018. The proposed network includes approximately 13.2 miles of outside plant (OSP) backbone construction, two (2) miles of OSP lateral construction, and inside plant construction (ISP) at eighteen City owned sites. The proposed construction will consist of an all underground conduit system connecting the eighteen sites throughout the City.
The City is seeking a contractor capable of working closely with the City of Highland Park, and their construction representative, in order to turn up a fully installed fiber optic ring type network.

The Contractor will be responsible to receive and safely store all materials (including the Fiber Optic Cable, HDPE Conduit, and Handholes) from contract execution for the length of the project.
