The project includes fiber optic cable, conduit, handholes, and equipment installation and modifications to implement the master fiber optic redundancy needed for both the traffic signal communication network utilized by the Public Works Department and the overall City operations network managed by the Information Technology (IT) Department. The project will place fiber optic cable to implement efficient path-diverse fiber optic rings for primary and secondary communications between traffic signals and between City facilities. The project includes installing approximately 180,000 LF of single-mode fiber optic cable and 24,500 LF HDPE conduit, with approximately 34 handholes, 4,000 fiber optic cable splices/terminations, and 30 new splice enclosures/cases. Other improvements include removal of outdated equipment, handholes, or hub cabinets, and installation of tracer wires, locate terminals/test stations, and new fiber optic equipment, temporary traffic control, mobilization, site restoration and miscellaneous associated work necessary to complete the project. The City will furnish approximately 24,500 LF of HDPE conduit for Contractor installation. The City will furnish approximately 6,600 LF of 24-count and 173,400 LF of 96-count single-mode fiber optic cable for Contractor installation.
