County broadband equipment out for bids as project moves forward
Summary
County officials said broadband project equipment has been put out to bid and staff expect submissions soon, moving the project closer to deployment after months of planning.
County commissioners received an update that equipment for a long-running broadband project has been released for bidding, a step officials said will move the project toward installation.
A committee member said the county has been working on the broadband project for about a year and that the equipment is now out for bids. “We finally have gotten the equipment out for bids. So, hopefully, we will receive those bids, and, hopefully, we'll be able to start bringing the equipment that we had discussed 6 months ago, into fruition,” the committee member said.
Officials asked for patience as the procurement and installation processes continue; no contract awards, vendor names or bid amounts were discussed publicly at this meeting. The report was informational and did not include a formal motion or action beyond the update.
Next steps noted by the committee include receiving and evaluating bids and returning to the commission with recommendations or contract approvals as necessary.
