Douthit Gunnery Complex Fiber Optic Repair

The U.S. Army is seeking a contractor to replace in-ground fiber optic cables at the Douthit Gunnery Range on Fort Riley, Kansas. The work includes digging trenches, removing old cables, installing new cables, and backfilling the excavated area. The project has two locations, with approximately 80 meters and 70 meters of fiber optics to be dug, respectively.
