COPE OF WORK
The City seeks a Contractor to build the
necessary components to create the
high-speed Fiber -To -The -Premise (FTTP)
10 Gigabit Symmetrical -Passive Optical
Network (XGS-PON) communications
Network (the Project) within the City's
defined Service Area and prepare it to
deliver backbone and fiber -to -the -home
services. The system shall be a fully
operational high-speed communications
network supporting Internet protocol
technology and allowing users access to
and from the Internet. The Project
requires the construction of a Fiber -to -
the -Premise feederldistribution and a
backbone network which will support
XGS-PON technologies to be utilized to
deliver best -effort and guaranteed serv-
ices to its customers within the City
Service Area.
The design (Attachment A) identifies the
placement of Fiber Distribution Hub
(FDH's) located at the City data center
and network PoP's. These locations will
also house active electronics and splitters
in support of the FTTP deployment. Fiber
routes to be built by contractor and
operated by the City and the Waterloo
Telecommunications Utility will be utilized
to interconnect these FDHs in a fiber ring
topology.
Fiber routes are laid out logically to
economically connect each service area
back to the local cabinet located at the
headend or alternate node site. Architec-
ture is a star design for the feeder
network and a ring connecting network
nodes.
The Project will be located at various
locations throughout the City.
Once construction of an FTTP area is
complete, tested and running for 30 days,
the Engineer will provide a certificate of
substantial completion for that FTTP area.
After substantial completion, the City
/Utilitryy shall be able to occupy or utilize
the FTTP area for its intended purpose.
The City/Utillly shall complete One Call
locales for all FTTPs that have received a
certificate of substantial completion.
The City has active grant applications
Into federal funding agencies for
portions of the backbone only (Divi-
sion 2 work). In the event of a grant
award, the City reserves the right to
remove the Division 2 work from this
Contract, with a reduction in fee to the
Contractor equivalent to the bid price
associated with the Division 2 work.
The City anticipates that a decision
regarding the Division 2 work will be
made on or before June 1, 2023.
Published pursuant to the provisions of
Chapter 26 of the City Code of Iowa and
upon order to the City Council of said
Waterloo, Iowa, on the day of 17th day of
April, 2023.
