On-Call Fiber Optic Infrastructure Services (Construction, Maintenance & Repair)

The City of Santa Monica has established a comprehensive municipal fiber optic network designed to enhance various city services including internal communications, public safety, and smart city initiatives. Managed by the Information Services Department’s Community Broadband Division, this network connects over 40 city-owned buildings such as schools and colleges, providing critical infrastructure for public Wi-Fi in parks, real-time parking systems, public safety video surveillance, and supports smart technologies like adaptive traffic signals, environmental monitoring, smart parking, and energy-efficient street lighting. Additionally, the network extends to private entities, including affordable housing complexes and commercial buildings, through leased broadband and dark fiber services, while also facilitating the deployment of small cell infrastructure to improve wireless coverage. To maintain and expand this vital infrastructure, the City is soliciting qualified contractors for on-call construction, installation, and maintenance of the fiber optic network. The contract, issued by the Information Services Department in Santa Monica, California, is open to service providers experienced in fiber optic infrastructure work. Interested parties must respond by the designated deadline, with the contract encompassing the full scope of services required to support the network’s continued reliability and growth across the city. For further information, the City has designated a principal buyer as the point of contact.
