The City of Garland is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for the design, supply, and installation of a fiber‑optic control enclosure (new construction or re‑conditioning) for the TMPA Pruitt site. The scope includes OPGW fiber cable installation on transmission poles, rack mounting, splicing, termination inside the substation and control building, provision of required splice cases, breakout kits, fiber patch cables, and associated civil work such as inner‑duct installation. Bidders must submit a bid bond (5 % of bid) and will be required to provide performance and payment bonds upon award. The project must be completed by September 1 2027. Two bidding options are allowed: (1) supply and install a brand‑new enclosure, or (2) re‑condition the existing enclosure; bidders may submit for either or both options. The award will be based on a best‑value evaluation that balances price with technical criteria.
