Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document provides a map and table detailing the primary and alternate fiber optic distribution paths for the "FIBER OPTIC INFRASTRUCTURE INSTALLATION FOR NEW COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY" project. It serves as a visual guide for the proposed fiber optic cable routes.

• Map: Illustrates the physical layout of buildings and the conceptual routes for fiber optic cables, color-coded to correspond with the table.
• Table: Lists "CABLE ID," "FROM BLDG.," "TO BLDG.," "STRANDS," and "PATH TYPE" (Primary or Alternate) for each fiber optic cable run.
• General Notes: Provides important context, stating that routes are conceptual pending field verification, existing duct banks and handholes should be reused, and route lengths require confirmation via site survey.

This document is crucial for bidders to understand the physical scope and proposed infrastructure for the fiber optic installation. It helps in visualizing the extent of the work, the buildings involved, and the nature of the paths (primary vs. alternate), which will inform proposal development and site assessment.
