The work includes, but is not limited to: 1) Preventative Maintenance: Routine inspections, testing, and documentation to ensure optimal performance. 2) Non-Emergency Repair: Scheduled repairs and relocations of aerial/underground cables, conduits, handholes, and splice enclosures as directed. 3) Emergency Restoration: 24/7/365 emergency response for any service interruptions. 4) Installation/Removal: Handling of underground single-mode fiber optic cables and associated hardware using existing infrastructure. 5) Site Restoration: Full restoration of all excavated surfaces (concrete, asphalt, gravel, ground) to pre-excavated conditions. 6) Documentation and Reporting: Providing as-built drawings, test results, and performance evaluations for all work. PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Miami-Dade South Dade Transitway is a 20-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system that serves as a core component of the County's Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan. The corridor runs from the Dadeland South Metrorail station in the north to the SW 344th Street Park-and-Ride/Transit Terminal in Florida City. This system transforms a dedicated busway into a high-efficiency transit line designed to provide a rail-like experience. Key features include: 1) Dedicated Right-of-Way: Exclusive lanes along the U.S. Route 1 corridor. 2) Advanced Technology: Traffic signal preemption (TSP) at 46 intersections. 3) Safety Features: Rail-style gate arms at intersections. 4) Modern Stations: 14 signature BRT stations with climate-controlled areas, Wi-Fi, CCTV, and level boarding platforms. 5) All-Electric Fleet: The nation's longest battery-electric BRT system on a dedicated corridor. 6) Future Proofing: Designed for full convertibility to heavy rail transit (Metrorail). Fiber Optic Cable Infrastructure The fiber optic network serves as the "digital backbone" enabling seamless communication across all stations, intersections, and central control centers. 1) Cable Type: Single-mode fiber optic cable, optimized for high-bandwidth, long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. 2) Installation Method: Installed underground within a conduit system (raceway with four conduits) for maximum protection and reliability. 3) Network Configuration: Robust architecture with lateral connections to 14 stations and 46 signal locations, designed to remain operational even if a single station connection is down. 4) Purpose: Supports Traffic Signal Preemption (TSP), real-time bus tracking, security/CCTV, station Wi-Fi, and communication with central data centers LOCATION OF WORK: Dadeland South Metrorail Station SW 104 St Station Howard Dr Station Coral Reef Dr Station Richmond Dr Station Eureka Dr Station Marlin Rd Station Caribbean Blvd Station S Allapattah Rd Station SW 244 St Station Bauer Dr Station Avocado Dr Station Campbell Dr Station Civic Ct Station Krome Ave Station SW 344 St Park-and-Ride SW 336th ST SW 328th ST SW 324th ST / SW 4th ST SW 177th Ave / Krome SW 320 ST / Mowry NE 2nd DR / Civic SW 312th ST / 8th ST / Campbell Drive SW 308th ST SW 304th ST / NE 15th ST SW 296th ST SW 288th ST SW 157th Ave SW 280th ST SW 272nd ST SW 146th CT SW 107th Ave / Marlin SW 186th Ave / Quail Roost SW 184th Ave / Eureka SW 176th Ave / W.
