Joint Use Pole Audit

The Lansing Board of Water and Light (BWL) is seeking proposals for a complete Joint Use pole audit of all utility poles within the BWL service territory. The audit will inventory all third-party communication fiber and equipment attachments attached to the utility poles, identify any violations of third-party attachments, and double wood (pole) locations. The successful vendor will be required to provide detailed information for each attachment, including owner, height, and type of attachment. The vendor will also be required to provide bi-weekly updates to the BWL and AT&T. The key aspects of the job include: • Data collection for approximately 35,000 BWL-owned poles and 3,500 foreign-owned poles • Verification of all attachments on BWL poles and BWL attachments to AT&T poles • Identification of third-party attachment violations and double wood locations • Provision of detailed information for each attachment, including owner, height, and type of attachment • Bi-weekly updates to the BWL and AT&T
