Description

The Port of Long Beach seeks an on-call design-build contractor to provide materials and equipment and perform fiber-optic network enhancements and repairs on a time-and-material basis. Work includes design, procurement, construction, installation, connection and integration with the existing network, quality-assurance testing, optimization, staff training, and related documentation. The standard installation method is microduct and air-blown fiber; the existing network uses Emtelle fiber, and proposed alternatives must be described with evidence of compatibility and performance. The contract is expected to run for three years, with an estimated value of $8 million, subject to budget restrictions. Proposers must have a California Class A General Engineering Contractor license and provide evidence of active Department of Industrial Relations registration for the prime and applicable listed subcontractors. Proposals require a narrative proposal, completed rate sheet, DIR registration evidence, Class A license evidence, Background and Contractor Certification Form, and SBE/VSBE Commitment Plan. The SBE/VSBE participation goal is 10%. The selected contractor must provide 100% performance and payment bonds after award. Evaluation considers team structure, relevant experience and past performance, technical approach, and SBE/VSBE commitment.
