ITB-092121 - Internet Connectivity and Broadband Study Consultant

The City of Novi is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms to perform an internet connectivity and broadband study. The purpose of the study is to provide the Novi community with the information needed to analyze, select, and implement the most reliable, innovative, and effective approach for expanding broadband access in the community. The first step, GOAL 1, should provide the City of Novi with a clear assessment of the existing internet connectivity systems and feedback from the community on the existing infrastructure. Additionally, in GOAL 2, the City of Novi is seeking recommendations on how to proceed with funding, feasibility, network design, and deployment.

As this is a Request for Qualifications, the purpose of the RFQ is to receive proposals from qualified consulting firms from which City Staff evaluates and makes recommendation to the Consultant Review Committee who will then make a selection for City Council approval.
