The Main-Kinzig district uses subsidies to open up optical fiber optic industrial parks right into buildings (FTTH). The expansion of the industrial parks has been taking place since around autumn 2019. The expansion of the industrial parks took place until summer 2021, but it cannot be continued with the company originally commissioned for this purpose.
The aim of this announcement is to award works for the expansion of industrial parks (planning and construction of FTTH clusters) in the Main-Kinzig district in six (6) lots. The essential materials for broadband expansion are provided to the contractors commissioned by Broadband Main-Kinzig GmbH.
FTTH expansion of industrial parks and their connection to the existing networkThe Main-Kinzig district has built up a passive broadband network (VDSL) up to 50 Mbit/s in recent years and leased it to an operator. The expansion is to be pushed forward further. The focus is now on the industrial parks, which are to be opened up with gigabite-capable connections. The basis for this is the framework regulation of the Federal Republic of Germany to support the development of a nationwide next generation access (NGA) broadband supply from 15.06.2015 (“NGA framework regulation”), the directive “Funding to support broadband expansion in the Federal Republic of Germany” revision of 15.11.2018 and the special call for commercial parks contained therein.
The subject of the call for tenders is the turnkey construction of the necessary passive infrastructure, starting from the existing network, including execution planning based on a functional specification of services to the building (FTTH), including connections for active technology. The achievement to be allocated is divided into six (6) lots. The contractor (s) has/have to expand a total of about 40 industrial parks (clusters). The total length of the network to be built with civil engineering is approximately 37.5 km to reach the buildings (most of them fixed). Depending on the number of buildings actually to be built up (currently about 560), about 15 metres of civil engineering can also be provided optionally for each house introduction. A total of about 7 km of fiber optic feeder network (72 fiber) must be provided between the clusters to be built up and the existing network. Fiber-optic connections (12 fiber) between collocation points and buildings have to be provided with an average of about 180 metres to connect the buildings.
The contractor's scope of services includes all civil engineering work related to the fibre-optic expansion, including execution planning, in particular in the form of:
- open design, dishwasher drilling process, cable laying plow, trenching etc.
- route setting and coordination with suppliers, execution planning,
- obtaining regulatory approvals,
- coordination with other management providers (external line information),
- laying of conduits (cable conduits),
- setting cabinets, shafts and sockets,
- measurement of civil engineering routes,
- insertion of fiber optic cables into the installed or provided cable conduits,
- measurement of fiber optic lines including handover of measurement protocols,
- restoration of surfaces,
- documentation in GIS systems (format: DXF, DWG or a corresponding shape format) and handover to clients taking into account conveyor requirements, shaft documentation, test protocols for cable pulls, calibrations,
- Project management for construction execution taking into account further funding conditions.
The client provides rough planning based on GIS and ALK. Application procedures and coordination with authorities and management bodies must be carried out by the contractor (s) on this basis. The contractor (s) is responsible for the execution planning, its coordination and red pen corrections.
The required building materials are not the subject of the tender (with the exception of small material such as sand, etc., according to the specification of service). These are provided by the AG.
Note: The above versions apply to all 6 lots. The exact size of each lot can be found in the FLB.
Lot 2 size (Nidderau):
- Length route fixed: 6,214 m
- Length route unmounted: 0 m
- Total route length: 6,214 m
FTTH expansion of industrial parks and their connection to the existing networkThe description of procurement for all lots can be found under lot 2, II.2.4).
Note: The lot is called 6715 because it is composed of the former lots 6, 7, 15, as they were formed as part of the original order, which had to be terminated prematurely in the meantime. Maintaining the name and at least formal separation within execution is required for subsidies and administrative reasons.
