Renovation of a municipal facility in Lima, New York. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

The Village of Lima, New York, is seeking proposals from qualified network design and consulting contractors for professional design, engineering, and consulting services for a Broadband Fiber Optic Network capable of providing internet service to all premises in the Village of Lima. Although some residents and businesses may not choose to subscribe, we believe that interest is high; there are approximately 700 residential and business premises in the Village. The estimated length of fiber optic cabling needed is 12.4 miles. The estimated total project cost is $843,512. 80% (max of $664,960) will be funded from NBRC Grant # NBRC21GNY05 while the remaining 20% ($178,552) will be paid by the Village of Lima. The Village will finance the entire cost of the project ($843,512) using a Bond Anticipation Note. Upon completion of the project and receipt of all NBRC Grant Funds, the Village will finance the balance with a long term serial bond. The Engineering Design Firm will be required to perform all work, which includes specifying network architecture and technology, identifying permitting requirements, designing optimal fiber routes, surveying utility poles, overseeing the pole and conduit licensing process, overseeing utility pole "make ready" work (performed by National Grid or other utility/ telecom, depending on pole ownership), preparing the construction bid package, specifying testing procedures, performing construction quality assurance/quality control, developing detailed project budgets, coordination of and documentation of as-built records, and any other functions that may be needed to ensure successful construction and operation of a fiber optic broadband network in the Village in compliance with the standards and requirements under the Northern Border Regional Commission (NBRC) contract.
