Description

Colby Community College is seeking a qualified vendor to install single‑mode armored fiber‑optic cabling to a new 80‑bed dormitory and a maintenance shop on its campus. The work includes trenching, conduit installation, fiber pulling, termination into SC rack enclosures, testing to 10 Gb/s (upgradeable to 100 Gb/s), labeling, and provision of warranties and insurance. The vendor must comply with direct‑burial standards, provide a $1 M liability insurance certificate, and possibly a performance bond for contracts exceeding $100 k. The project must be completed by mid‑May 2027. • Install 48 strands to the dormitory and 24 strands to the maintenance shop, using OS2 G.625 armored fiber. • Terminate each strand in SC UPC straight connectors within rack‑mount enclosures; perform full attenuation testing and deliver documentation. • Provide all civil work (conduit, splice closures, trenching), coordinate with existing campus infrastructure, and adhere to a no‑sales‑tax pricing structure.

Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

The contract will likely be a mid‑size campus fiber‑optic build, typically ranging from $200 k to $500 k depending on material choices, trench length, and labor rates. The requirement for 48 + 24 fibers, armored conduit, splice closures, and high‑speed testing pushes the cost upward, while the tax‑exempt status and competitive bidding may keep it under $600 k. Therefore a reasonable estimate for the vendor’s revenue is $200 k‑$500 k.
