📋 Tender Overview
Scope : Fiber Optic Conduit - Miscellaneous
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION : This improvement provides an annual program for installing conduit for fiber optic in miscellaneous projects throughout the community. Installation of fiber conduit into existing infrastructure typically ranges from $25 to $35 a linear foot when installed in a stand along project. When combined with other projects the cost can drop to around $10 to $20 a linear foot. This improvement item funds the installation of fiber conduit along other unscheduled City projects and in conjunction with other private utility projects where it is convenient and at a cost savings to the community. This budget item would extend fiber optic conduit as part of the city-wide effort to create a network of City owned fiber optic systems and will also aid linking adjacent projects together and can be shared with public/private partnerships. This fiber, once installed, is used by many City entities including Information Services, Fire, and Police Department.
