Bidders will supply pricing for time and materials to install a fiber optic cable run of approximately 250 lineal feet from the computer lab in the basement in the northwest corner of the High School to the AG shop, a annex just north of the main High School building (see diagram at the end of the RFP document). Contractor should evaluate the existing termination equipment and determine if it can still be used or if it needs to be replaced and if it can be housed in the existing shelves.
