SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The project consists of approximately 5 miles of 3 x 1.25-inch conduit along 2 routes. Route #1 is from the
Middle School on Spring Mountain Blvd to Lick Creek turning west and ending at Davis Street. Route #2
completes the Deinhard section begun in 2019 north from the bike path to Lakeview Street. Route #1
includes connecting the Golf Maintenance and Golf Club House. Route #2 includes Industrial Loop which
will provide opportunity for Middle Mile connectivity.
This project provides three benefits:
1. Connecting City facilities securely and reliably to provide access to the internal network and internet.
2. Unused conduit will be leased to third parties in the community (school district, etc.).
3. This fiber backbone is an integral part of future municipal fiber deployments to the citizenry.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) was published for several weeks in different manners – website and
newspapers. The bid opening was conducted on April 24, 2020 by the City Clerk. There were 4 bids received
for the contract. Lead time for materials (provided by City of McCall) will be longer than expected as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic effecting the ability of the contractor to meet deadlines. All bids came in
higher than the budget allocated for this project. Staff recommends rejecting all bids and advertise the
project with a smaller scope focused on Route #1 to allow completion within budget and time constraints.
The bidder’s list is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Reject all bids received for Phase 2 Capital project of Buried Fiber Conduit installation for Spring Mountain
Boulevard and Deinhard Lane.
