BICSI has a sample RFQ for this purpose. You can use the whole thing or just pull out the cabling phrase. You will need to update the standard names to the current ones. https://www.bicsi.org/single.aspx?l=1866 Kenneth M.

I run a small town network. A new building is being built that the town wants fiber access to. I have to specify for vendors what it is that the town expects in the cabling. I am (obviously) not a fiber expert, and I'm having trouble phrasing the language of the RFP so that we are assured a quality installation. My question is this; Is there an appropriate standard to specify for fiber-optic cabling that if it is followed the fiber will be installed correctly? Would specifying TIA/EIA 568-C.3, for example, be correct? I'm envisioning something like; "The vendor will provide fiber connectivity between (building A) and (building B). Vendor will be responsible for all building penetrations and terminations. When installing the fiber-optic cable the vendor will follow the appropriate TIA/EIA 568 standards for fiber-optic cabling." Any suggestions or examples of language would be very appreciated. Offlist contact is probably best. Many thanks, ---Sam
