Park City, Utah Releases RFP for Fiber Network

PARK CITY, UT – Park City Municipal Corporation is inviting vendors to submit proposals to design, build, deploy and operate a citywide fiber network. They are asking that the network be completed within five years, delivering gigabit speeds to all residential household and businesses with the Park City community. According the Park City News, City Hall will grant a firm access to its own municipal fiber optic infrastructure, such as conduit, to assist in the installation.

The newspaper goes on to say that the city wishes to diversify its economy, which relies heavily on tourism, to one that features a broader range of businesses. City Hall admits that it is unsure of the initial cost and how a network would be funded.

The deadline for proposals is June 6. Interested parties may contact Matthew J. Dias, assistant city manager, at Matt.Dias@parkcity.org.
