TENDER NO: KPLC1/4/3/1/PT/ITT/1 8/08
DESCRIPTION OF GOODS: Lease of Dark Fibres
TENDER CLOSING DATE: 18.05.09 at 10.00a.m.
The Kenya Power & Lighting Company Limited is installing approximately 1500 km of high quality single mode fibre optic network on established transmission lines to provide a telecommunications backbone for its SCADA / EMS system.
The network will cover the following routes
(i) Nairobi-Mombasa
(ii) Nairobi-Njakuru-Eldoret-Tororo
(iii) Eldoret-Kisumu (iv) Nairobi-Kiganjo-Nanyuki.
This network will be built progressively and released for use between August 2009 and January 2010.
The fibre optic network will have excess capacity which creates an opportunity for commercial exploitation by KPLC to provide facilities for public telecommunication services. KPLC has been granted Network Facility Provider - Tier 2 licence by CCK and plans to sell this excess capacity in the form of dark fibres through competitive bidding.
The bids will sell indefeasible rights of use (IRU) for dark fibre on specific routes and across the whole network. The terms for the sale will be published with the bids instructions. Successful bidders will be charged, in addition, an annual operating and maintenance fee. This fee will be specified for individual routes and for the whole network and will be published with the terms for the sale.
The dark fibre will be accessible at selected substations on KPLC's power transmission network. KPLC will have responsibility for the dark fibre and any other infrastructure necessary to maintain transmission that is installed between these substations. KPLC will generally provide collocation space at substations but the specification will vary from substation to substation.
The timetable for availability of the fibre, the locations of substations and the availability of space at substations will be provided on request.
KPLC is now seeking expressions of interest from telecommunications Service providers interested in participating in this bid that are licensed to provide telecommunications services in Kenya or to provide transit services through Kenya to and from neighbouring states.
The Expressions of Interest should provide the following information:
(i) Company name and address
(ii) Contact point to receive information about the bids
(iii) Relevant telecommunications licence(s) held
(iv) Specific Areas of interest and the number of fibres
