Broadband Alabama
Broadband Infrastructure Program RFA – Response Due Date: July 30, 2021, 4 p.m. CDT
Background and purpose
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) is seeking grant proposals from private providers interested in participating in a ‘covered partnership’ with ADECA for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA) Broadband Infrastructure Program (BIP). Through BIP, ADECA seeks to extend broadband deployment to areas of the state that are currently unserved by sustainable 25/3 Mbps broadband coverage. ADECA anticipates selecting one applicant with a track record of providing high quality services and that has the capabilities to implement the proposed project in the required timeline. To this end, ADECA has consulted with CTC Technology & Energy—an engineer consulting company—to facilitate creation of materials for the application on behalf of the State to NTIA’s BIP.
ADECA will host an informational webinar review of this RFA and to answer questions potential applicants may have on July 26, 2021 at 4 p.m. Central Standard Time.
