PennDOT launches RFI for fiber optic network installation project
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) through Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has launched a request for information for a fiber-optic network project.
The project involves the design and installation of a network of eight fiber optic micro-ducts with an anticipated 1/2 inch diameter bundled inside 2 conduits, junction boxes spaced at a maximum 1/2 mile, 2 fiber optic cables, and associated equipment.
The installation includes approximately 112 miles along the East-West Mainline from Harrisburg to the Delaware River Bridge and crossing over 79 bridges. Installation includes approximately 110 miles along the Northeastern Extension from Mid County to Clarks Summit and crossing over 77 bridges and one tunnel. Connections are required to approximately 23 demarcation sites along the East-West Mainline and 19 along the Northeastern Extension.
The estimated cost for each of the two segments is approximately US$50,000,000.00 to US$75,000,000.00. The Commission anticipates letting these 2 projects in the Summer/Fall of 2019.
Prequalification by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) in the appropriate categories and an applicable capacity rating will be required to bid on these projects.
