FIBER OPTIC DESIGN AND OPTIONAL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Otsego County (“County”) invites proposals from qualified professional engineering firms to provide fiber-optic outside-plant and inside-plant design services, with optional constructionmanagement (CM) services, for two independent projects: • Project A — Cornish Hill E911 Fiber Extension: a primary communications connection supporting mission-critical 911 operations. • Project B — Public Defender Fiber Extension: a reliable County-office connection serving the Public Defender’s office at 21 Railroad Avenue, Cooperstown. Known endpoint, building-entrance, and equipment-room information is stated in Exhibit 2 and must be verified by the Designer. The projects have different operational criticality, funding sources, approvals, budgets, accounting, and schedules. Proposals, fees, evaluation, awards, contracts or purchase orders, invoicing, and grant records must remain separable by project. Physical fiber construction is excluded and will be procured separately after the County accepts construction-ready designs. Business enterprises awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years: None.
