RFP-CCS-270000000210-2 | RFP - District Fiber Renovations

Caledonia Community Schools is soliciting bids for the expansion of its private fiber optic network infrastructure in Michigan. The project encompasses both inside and outside plant work, requiring the contractor to design, engineer, supply, connect, test, and warrant a fully operational Optical Fiber Backbone. Key technical requirements include the installation of a 24-strand OS2 single-mode armored, plenum-rated fiber optic cable extending from a utility pole on Kraft Avenue through the North and South campuses of Caledonia High School to the Kraft Meadows Intermediate School MDF, as well as splicing cable to provide services to Dutton and Kettle Lake Elementary Schools. All work must adhere to EIA/TIA and OSHA standards, with strict attenuation limits of 0.3 dB per splice or termination and a final operational test requiring the successful transfer of a 10Mb file between linked computers. Bids must be submitted in both hard copy and on a USB drive in PDF format, with the Schedule of Values provided as a spreadsheet. The submission must include a bid security equal to 5% of the total bid amount, and the selected contractor will be required to provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the bid amount. Evaluation is based on the proposed materials and the bidder's competency, solvency, and responsibility, though the owner reserves the right to reject any bid. Additionally, all offerors must provide a sworn statement certifying they are not an Iran Linked Business per Michigan Public Act No. 517 of 2012.
