Burlington Electric Department RFP System
RFP#023-26 BED Fiber Splicing for Champlain Parkway Project
RFP# 023-26
Deadline: September 9, 2025 5:00 pm
The City of Burlington Electric Department invites proposals for an outside contractor to perform
splicing of an existing overhead 96-count BED owned fiber optic cable to a new underground 96-
count fiber optic cable at two pole locations.
Scope:
A new conduit system between two riser poles on the north side and south side of the
Champlain Parkway roadway along Pine St has been installed by the project contractors.
BED line crews will pull in a new section of fiber optic cable in the new duct bank at each
riser pole and will provide sufficient slack at each end to lower the new and existing cable
down to ground level for the contractor to perform splicing. BED line crews will also raise
the spliced fiber cables back into the primary space once all work is completed by the
contractor.
