The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 10 heard that only one proposal was submitted in response to the county's RFTQ for a fiber ring intended to link critical county facilities in Noblesville. Speaker 4 told commissioners "The 1 submission we got was from Barry Kong," and recommended sending the response to the Information System Services Department (ISSD) for technical review and an eventual award.

Commissioner Mike moved to take the bid under advisement; the motion was seconded and the board agreed to forward the single submission to ISSD for evaluation. Staff said the project is intended to be standards-compliant and to establish resilient connectivity for county locations in Noblesville, referenced in the meeting as the Timberwing link. The board did not award a contract at the meeting and directed staff to return with ISSD's recommendation.
