Description:
Oconee County plans to build an 80 mile, county-wide fiber ring to serve County facilities, with the primary purpose to serve as the backbone for the delivery of services by prospective partners to all residents and local businesses. The County has initiated this Request for Information (RFI) to identify one or more private partners (“the Partner”) to build, maintain, and service high-capacity broadband services over fiber to end-users within the County limits. We are particularly interested in partners who will use the fiber to provide ultra-high-speed network access. We define ultra- models high-speed as being in the multiple- hundred megabit-per- second (Mbps) to gigabit-per-second (Gbps) range.
The intention of this
RFI is to evaluate proposals for a public-private partnership in which the
County maintains ownership of the fiber infrastructure and the Partner assumes
all risks and responsibilities in the maintenance, operations, and expansion of
the fiber-optic network. Oconee County seeks to pass all of the risk to
potential partners for use, maintenance, operations and expansion the County’s
fiber infrastructure. RFI contact
