DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Flint, Michigan seeks a vendor to provide a fiber-based broadband initiative to serve all county residents and businesses. This initiative aims to establish a public/private, underground fiber broadband network offering 24/7 high-speed internet access that is equitable, accessible, affordable, and sustainable.
Key project components include identifying underserved and economically disadvantaged areas, utilizing fiber as the primary infrastructure, and leveraging county-provided routing and GIS data. The network must support scalable speeds for long-term needs, ensure redundancy, resiliency, and interconnection, and propose phased deployment options. Reliance on aerial construction should be minimized unless adequately justified by project requirements.
