- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY FOR CL008 Fiber Optics Project Office to Control Works North Pole, ALASKA. OFFER OR PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR THIS NOTICE. THIS IS NOT A PRESOLICITATION. The District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska is conducting market research prior to releasing a bid for this work in North Pole, Alaska. The scope of this project is to install fiber optic connectivity at the Chena River Lakes Project in North Pole, AK from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Project Office to the Control Works of Moose Creek Dam on the Chena River. Two separate 12 strand fibers shall be installed underground in conduit between these sites. Both fibers may be installed in the same conduit. Fibers shall not be spliced. The minimum burial depth for the fiber shall be 42 inches except for a 250 foot section under the seepage collection channel which requires a minimum burial depth of 72 inches. The approximate length of the alignment is 16,000 feet. Junction boxes shall be installed on the alignment at 1,500 foot intervals and at major direction changes where the fiber passes under the seepage collector channel. Junction boxes shall be lockable. The alignment follows a bicycle path west of the seepage collector channel for 12,000 feet, at which point it crosses under the channel, then continues north through the cleared area downstream of the stability berm of the dam to the control works. At both termination points, existing conduits shall be used to access the communications rooms and a spool of 15 feet of extra fiber shall be left at each end. These conduits are mounted to utility poles and shall be modified to terminate at new junction boxes placed near these poles. Unused conduit mounted to the poles shall be removed. Spools of 25 feet of fiber shall be left in each junction box. Warning tape and detection wire shall be installed above the fiber. Directional boring may be used to install the fiber under roadways, the bike path and the seepage collection channel. If roadway surfaces are excavated to install the fiber in a trench, the conduit under all roadways shall be encased in concrete and the finished surface of the roadways shall be restored to its original condition. Questions for the contractor: (1)List exterior fiber installation projects with fiber lengths exceeding 10,000 feet the contractor has completed in the last 5 years. (2)List the jobs has the contractor completed in the last 5 years that required directional boring. (3)List the jobs the contractor has completed in the last 5 years requiring buried installation of fiber optics under streams or other bodies of water.
