Summary Explanation and Background:
On September 16, 2014, the Board authorized advertisement, award and execution of the Invitation to Bid No. B-4-15-65 for Traffic Operations Fiber Optics Construction, Rehabilitation, Maintenance, and Emergency Repair. Contracts were awarded to Advanced Cabling Solutions, Inc. and Precision Contracting Services, Inc. for these services. The current contracts will expire on July 21, 2020.
The recent pandemic of COVID-19 has impacted the development of the new Invitation to Bid. Staff has been working diligently to update the technical scope of services and bid price sheet for the upcoming Invitation to Bid. Furthermore, staff is working to incorporate the FEMA clauses to ensure work performed under the new contract is eligible for FEMA public assistance funding. The additional time will allow staff sufficient time to finalize the solicitation and ensure continuation of the existing contracts through the Hurricane season without disruption.
