CITY OF OREGON CITY REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS SECTION 1: PROJECT SUMMARY The City of Oregon City has a 48-strand fiber optic installation terminated at our current Police Station at 320 Warner Milne Road. We wish to install an entirely new 48-strand fiber extension to a new facility at 698 Warner Parrott Road (the Mt. Pleasant School annex). The scope of this proposal includes the following: installation of 48-strand fiber to include a 200-foot coil at the new location prior to termination point, installation of a termination panel and cassettes at both ends, and providing strand tests and labelling upon completion. A map of the project is below. No slicing of fiber strands is anticipated for this installation only termination at both ends. Map of New Fiber Installation Route 320 Warner Milne Road to 698 Warner Parrot Road Oregon City, Oregon 97045 SECTION 2: BACKGROUND The City of Oregon City is requesting bids in the form of a turnkey solution for the design and installation of a 48-strand fiber connecting an existing location with a new location. The City considers turnkey to be the hand off of terminated, labelled, and tested fiber connections. This request covers the design, engineering, aerial and/or underground construction, and splicing as required to meet the stated objective. The City is requesting a bid for aerial fiber installation, but would entertain an underground option if costs are comparable, and should existing conduit exist that is available for use. The City is remodeling the annex location at Mt. Pleasant School, with construction to begin in October and be completed by March. The Contractor should be able to work within existing project work to accomplish the installation tasks. RFP.Docx - 4 -
