RFI2 PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY TO COMPLETING THE MMBI NETWORK

November 29, 2023 – During the year, CDT’s Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative
secured contracts to construct, lease, and purchase approximately 83% of the
Middle-Mile Broadband Network (MMBN), resulting in faster construction and
access to critical middle-mile connection points. Opportunities exist for
additional provider and community partnerships to bring middle-mile connections
to more communities sooner. To expedite the delivery of the MMBN, CDT released a
second Request for Innovative Ideas (RFI²) solicitation, a procurement vehicle
that seeks innovative ideas to solve a well-defined problem statement, then
selects a solution provider based on their ability to demonstrate its
effectiveness. 

The RFI2 concept was first introduced in 2019 when Gov. Gavin Newsom signed
an executive order that created the new procurement method by asking for
solutions to test in response to the wildfire challenges in California. The
vision of this methodology is to leverage the innovative vendor, academic,
scientific, and entrepreneurial communities to solve the State’s most pressing
challenges. 

The new RFI² solicitation will include all remaining 650 network miles not
currently contemplated in any existing construction, lease, or purchase
contracts or master agreements. CDT is focused on identifying and partnering on
any segments of the MMBI network miles located in dense urban areas that will
minimize the community and traffic disruptions associated with construction and
accelerate the pace of development. CDT will review proposals on any of the
remaining MMBI network miles identified in the RFI² solicitation. 

The new RFI² solicitation has been posted, and Innovative Concept Papers (the
first part of the RFI² process), are due by January 26, 2024. Local stakeholders
often know best which providers have a presence that might facilitate these
partnerships and should encourage provider participation in this RFI²
solicitation.  

CDT’s goal is to maximize participation for the remaining MMBI network miles to
bring connectivity to unserved communities throughout California sooner.
