Since 2012, the Main-Kinzig district, through its subsidiary, Breitband Main-Kinzig GmbH (client), has built an almost nationwide passive broadband/fiber optic network for VDSL with bandwidths between 25 and 50 Mbit/s in the district area.

After Deutsche Telekom's cable branches were connected from 2013 to mid-2015, from 2016 to the beginning of 2019 additional white spots (courtyards, hamlets), all schools, town halls and properties in the district as well as buildings in industrial parks were connected to the existing network using FTTH (densification). Where Breitband Main-Kinzig GmbH is allowed to develop buildings with FTTH in accordance with the federal funding guidelines, a complete FTTH migration has been taking place in the MKK since 2022.

It is now intended that

• remote farms and hamlets (Lot 1) using EAFRD funding from the Land of Hesse (hereinafter referred to as farms),

• radio masts of a mobile operator (Lot 2) without subsidies (hereinafter referred to as radio masts) and

• Backbone routes for FTTH migration (Lot 3) using subsidies from the Federal Government and the State of Hesse (hereinafter referred to as Backbone)

in the Main-Kinzig district can be connected with fiber optics (gigabit, FTTH into the building or to the outdoor unit of the radio tower; Expansion cluster).

The aim of this tender is to commission qualified civil engineering companies for the above-mentioned explanations. The construction and the execution planning to be taken over by the contractor are to be carried out in close coordination with Breitband Main-Kinzig GmbH (Planungsbüro Athanus Partners GmbH).

The contractor has to expand a total of approx. 58 locations of farms and hamlets with the present GEE (property owner declaration), approx. 5 radio masts and a backbone route (FTTH). In addition, there may be further connections of buildings along the lines to be built in the course of the project.

The total length of the network to be built with civil engineering is approximately 49.6 km to connect the buildings and radio masts and to build the backbone routes. Of these, about 4.3 km are paved and about 45.3 km unpaved. The pipe network, the house introduction and the grid coupling to the existing network must be built, including fiber optic assembly (cable pulling and wiring), also in parts of the existing network. No fiber optic work is required for the construction of the backbone (lot 3).

The tender does not cover the building materials required for network expansion (with the exception of small materials such as sand, pipe closures, etc. in accordance with the specifications). These are provided by the client.

For more information, see tender documents.

FTTH connection of remote farms and hamlets to the existing network of BBMK (approx. 77 buildings with GEE in 56 expansion clusters with 43.7 km of civil engineering, of which approx. 40.0 km are unpaved).

For more information, see tender documents.

FTTH connection of radio masts of a mobile phone provider to the existing network of BBMK (approx. 5 units, approx. 1,830 m civil engineering).

For more information, see tender documents.

Implementation of a backbone route for the FTTH expansion between the existing network of Breitband Main-Kinzig GmbH and future FTTH network (approx. 1 cluster, approx. 4.03 km civil engineering).
