Invitation to Bid
Telephone and Cable TV
Include all required work to bring the telephone & cable TV cables to the building. Your bid should
include (2) 4” underground conduit extending from the existing service to the point of service at the
building, or as indicated on the Utility Plan.
Follow these guidelines for the installation of the incoming Telecommunications conduit:
‣ Four inch diameter conduit.
‣ PVC or galvanized conduit.
‣ Conduit is to be buried at least 36 inches deep from sub-soil level. For example, if the conduit
goes under a road, driveway, or parking lot that will be paved concrete, the 36 inch measurement
is from the soil level down. The depth of pavement or concrete that is placed on top of the soil is
not counted in this measurement.
‣ If power is in the same trench as telecommunication conduit, there must be a 12 inch separation
between the power facility and Telco facilities. In this case, Telco would be at a minimum of 24
inches preferably with power at 48 inches below sub-soil level and Telco at 36 inches below subsoil
level.
‣ In all cases, a minimum of six inches of “safe in” gravel above and below the conduits is
recommended to protect the conduit from rocks and uneven trench base and from overburden
(dirt clods and rocks) being backfilled in the trench. In the case of power and Telco using the
same trench, safe-in gravel should be the medium separating the power and Telco.
Water and Sewer
Provide (furnish and install) all water and sewer services lines and associated accessories as indicated
on the Civil Drawings and/or Plumbing Drawings.
