Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op

Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op (“PIEG” or “Owner”), issues this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to engage a qualified and experienced contractor to assist in initiating a comprehensive fiber network restoration and validation effort following recent storm-related disruptions. This project focuses on the critical task of testing the network using advanced diagnostic methods—specifically Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) and Intelligent Optical Link Mapper (IOLM) testing. These tests are essential for identifying major loss and reflection points within the network, with particular attention to backbone infrastructure such as transport rings and high-count fiber cables (e.g., 144 ct). The primary objective is to identify and document major loss points, reflection anomalies, and physical disruptions resulting from the March 2025 Ice Storm and compromising network integrity—such as downed trees, cable strain, or infrastructure displacement. The results will inform targeted repairs and ensure the network meets operational standards and FEMA restoration requirements.

This RFP does not include any construction, splicing, or installation activities. It is strictly limited to diagnostic testing and reporting. PIEG main office is located at 3149 Main St, Onaway, MI. This project may be funded in whole or in part by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), and/or other federal grants. As such, Respondents should have experience in projects similar in scope and size as well as FEMA requirements and federal, state, and local guidelines and regulations applicable to this project. All work will be completed in compliance with FEMA’s rules and guidance, as well as Federal laws, regulations, executive orders, and the federal cost principles at 2 C.F.R. Part 200.

All proposals must be emailed, with the subject line as RFP Fiber Testing, to stormrfp@pieg.com by April 20th.
