<br />City of Sunny Isles Beach |Request for Proposal No. 22-04-01 40 <br /> <br />4.11 Testing <br />The contractor shall perform fiber testing on 100% of all fiber strands installed. Testing shall be <br />completed using the following standards using equipment calibrated within the past 12 months. <br />4.11.A Reel Testing <br />All fiber shall be tested on the reel prior to installation utilizing an OTDR. Testing shall be <br />completed to verify continuity of length consistent with the length of the reel documented. OTDR <br />reel test shall be completed in one direction at 1550nm. Raw OTDR traces as well as .pdf copies <br />of reel test shall be provided to the city as a project deliverable. Traces shall be performed long <br />enough to provide a clean trace and show beginning and end of fiber. Any issues in fiber continuity <br />or defects discovered shall be brought to the attention of the City and shall not be installed until <br />the issue is rectified. <br />4.11.B Post Installation Testing <br />All fiber strands shall be tested once they are in their final configuration. Test documentations <br />shall be provided to the City as part of the project deliverables. Acceptance testing shall be <br />completed utilizing two wavelengths of 1310 and 1550nm. Acceptance testing shall utilize both <br />OTDR and Powermeter testing. OTDR test shall be delivered to the City in both raw trace format <br />as well as .pdf copies. Powermeter test shall be documented and delivered on a Powermeter test <br />form. <br />All field splicing shall have a bi-directional dB loss no greater than -.20dB. All connectors shall have a dB <br />loss no greater than -.50dB. <br />In the event any fiber splice or termination test with a dB loss higher than the maximum loss, fiber splices <br />shall be broken and re-spliced until allowable dB loss can be achieved. In the event a fiber stand has been <br />re-spliced three different times and cannot meet these standards, an exception document shall be <br />provided identifying the fiber, splice locations, and documentation showing the three attempts of re- <br />splicing. <br />5. Underground Construction <br />5.1 General Guidelines <br />Governing Florida Department of Transportation indexes and regulations will be used as well as all <br />applicable codes in force.
