ISD – 400 E. Main St. Conduit Pathway Assessment

San Joaquin County is soliciting proposals under RFP 26245 for a comprehensive conduit pathway assessment at 400 E. Main Street in Stockton, California. The project requires an engineering and physical evaluation of telecommunications and utility conduit systems, including indoor vertical risers, horizontal distribution pathways, above-ceiling trays, and underground outside plant infrastructure. The primary objective is to determine the physical integrity and remaining capacity of these systems to support future technology upgrades such as Wi-Fi 7, security/CCTV deployment, and fiber backbone expansion. Key deliverables include a comprehensive assessment report, a pathway capacity matrix in Excel, an anomaly report with high-resolution documentation of blockages or damage, a Visio/CAD schematic drawing of the physical topology, and engineering recommendations with rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates. All capacity determinations must strictly adhere to TIA/EIA-569 standards. The anticipated contract term is one year, with payment terms set at Net 30 and Freight on Board Destination. Qualified contractors must ensure employees have at least five years of experience in telecommunications engineering and hold active BICSI RCDD and OSHA Confined Space Entry certifications. The submission process requires a specific format, including an original paper proposal and a USB electronic copy, with pricing submitted as a separate sealed envelope or file. Proposers must comply with the Levine Act and California Labor Code regarding prevailing wages. Evaluation will be conducted by a County Selection Team based on responsiveness and qualifications, with the final award contingent upon the negotiation of contract terms and approval by the County Board of Supervisors.
