The Government Entities recognize an outstanding need for reliable, climate-resilient infrastructure and a system that supports participation by multiple users, including the development and management of an open access underground conduit route throughout Puerto Rico. Therefore, the Government Entities are seeking proposals from Applicants with proven results and applicable knowledge that will lead to long-term project success. The NOFA includes a phased approach while in partnership with the Government Entities for input and approvals: plan, design, and engineer (Phase 1), construct and manage (Phase 2), and provide ongoing operational oversight, management, and maintenance of a conduit system (Phase 3) (collectively, the “Services” and/or “Scope of Work”). This project is an opportunity for management, including a minimum of a 10-year operations and maintenance commitment period and a long-term successful partnership with the island of Puerto Rico, its residents, businesses, and communities.

The Scope of Work, Project Objectives, and Outcomes for Phases 1, 2, and 3 are further divided into sub-phases, as detailed in the following sections. See Appendix 1 for a breakout of the responsibilities of the Applicant per phase.
