The Iowa Telecommunications and Technology Commission is inviting bids for a significant infrastructure project involving the relocation of fiber optic cables along a 6-mile section of Highway 18, between 140th Ave and 190th Ave, from Algona to Sexton in Kossuth County. This endeavor is crucial to improving the telecommunication infrastructure in the area by moving existing cables that impede planned road construction projects. The project will involve four major relocation efforts and includes the installation of about 11,350 feet of HDPE conduit, eight handholes with lids at grade, and new 48-strand OSP armored fiber optic cables through these conduits. Each relocation requires specific measures: Relocation #1 at 140th Ave entails the placement of 2,300 feet of HDPE and two handholes; Relocation #2 at 160th Ave involves 1,150 feet and two handholes; Relocation #3 at 170th/175th Ave encompasses 4,600 feet and two handholes; and Relocation #4 at 190th Ave includes 3,300 feet and two handholes. Additionally, 600 feet of existing live ICN cable must be exposed for splicing purposes. Scheduled to begin after right-of-way permits are secured in mid-June 2025, the project is expected to conclude by July 31, 2025, with potential allowances for weather or other unforeseen delays. The Iowa Communications Network oversees this project, with a solicitation posted on April 4, 2025, and requiring bid submissions by April 25, 2025.

PRE-QUALIFY VENDORS WHO CAN PROVIDE TELECOMMUNICATIONS OUTSIDE PLANT SERVICES IN SELECTED ZONES
Solicitation # 26-023
The Iowa Communications Network is seeking to pre-qualify up to three vendors in each of five geographic zones across the State of Iowa to provide telecommunications outside plant services. The scope of work includes underground fiber optic cable construction, aerial work, boring, plowing, and splicing, as well as emergency response for urgent repairs or relocations. Vendors may apply for up to five zones, though a maximum of three zones will be awarded per vendor. Proposals must be submitted by November 6, 2026, and must include a comprehensive set of documentation, including a unit price sheet for labor and materials, vendor qualifications, and a zone bid form. Awarded vendors will be selected based on a mandatory compliance gate followed by a point-based evaluation. Once pre-qualified, work is assigned based on project value: projects under 5,000 dollars are awarded at the agency's discretion, those between 5,000 and 50,000 dollars generally go to the lowest calculated cost or best operational value, and projects exceeding 50,000 dollars may require formal project-specific quotes or separate competitive bidding. The contract allows for an initial term with the possibility of five one-year extensions. Key requirements include the potential for performance bonds on jobs 5,000 dollars or more, adherence to OSHA and prevailing wage standards, and the submission of as-built drawings for final project acceptance.
