I. Introduction

The Department, pursuant to Section 334.30, Florida Statutes, issues this RFP to solicit competitive bids and proposals from Design-Build Firms for two separate contracts. The first contract will be the Department Contract between the Department and the selected Proposer for the design and construction of the Total Project. The second contract will be the MDX Contract between MDX and the selected Proposer for the design and construction of the Total Project. The I-395 Agreements consist of the Department Contract and the MDX Contract. The payments from the Department for the Department Project are federally funded and which requires the Department Project to be a FHWA Federal-Aid Oversight construction project.

Contractual Structure

The Department Contract requires the Design-Build Firm to design and construct the Total Project. The MDX Contract requires the Design-Build Firm to design and construct the Total Project. The MDX Contract obligates MDX to pay for the cost of the MDX Project. Valid claims for extra work on the Department Project are solely the responsibility of the Department. Valid claims for extra work on the MDX Project are solely the responsibility of MDX. Delay damages on the Total Project will be paid by the Department and MDX in a proportion to the amounts of the Department Contract and the MDX Contract as it pertains to the total value of the I-395 Agreements.

Order of Precedence

Each of the Contract Documents is an essential part of the Department Contract. The Contract Documents are intended to be complementary and to be read together as a complete agreement.

In the event of any conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency among the Contract Documents, the order of precedence shall be as follows:

1. Supplemental Agreements; 2. Alternative Technical Concepts; 3. Request for Proposal; 4. Project Advertisement; 5. Special Provisions; 6. Technical Special Provisions; 7. Plans; 8. Design Standards; 9. Developmental Specifications; 10. Supplemental Specifications; 11. Standard Specifications; 12. Technical and Price Proposals, except Alternative Technical Concepts contained therein; and 13. Other Contract Documents not listed above.

Notwithstanding the order of precedence among Contract Documents set forth above, in the event of any conflict, ambiguity or inconsistency between or among any of the provisions in the Contract Documents,

December 12, 2016 Page 8 of 216

Request for Proposal SR 836/I-395/I-95 Project December 12, 2016 the provisions that use more stringent standards or establish the higher quality, manner or method of performing the work for the Total Project will prevail. If the Technical Proposal or Proposer’s written statements or transcripts or minutes of Proposer presentations, includes statements, terms, concepts or designs that can reasonably be interpreted as offers to provide higher quality items than otherwise required by the other Contract Documents or to perform services or meet standards in addition to or better than those otherwise required, then Proposer’s obligations hereunder shall include compliance with all such statements, terms, concepts and designs. Additional details in a lower priority Contract Document shall be given effect except to the extent it irreconcilably conflicts with requirements, provisions and practices contained in the higher priority Contract Document. Computed dimensions govern over scaled dimensions.

II. Instructions to Proposers

The Total Project is being solicited under a single procurement that will result in the award of separate contracts. It is in the best interest of the Department and MDX to have one Design-Build Firm simultaneously design and construct the Total Project in order to minimize negative effects of construction on the traveling public and to maximize any savings of scale. The Instructions to Proposers and other provisions of the RFP will establish the phases that will be utilized in this procurement to achieve the best value to the Department and MDX. In case of failure to follow the instructions contained in the RFP, the Department may determine the Proposer to be deemed non-responsive.

A. Procurement Schedule

The schedule of the events for this procurement process is set forth in the table immediately below. These dates are subject to change and the Department reserves the right to make changes to the schedule. Notices of changes (addenda) will be posted on the Department Website at: http://www.dot.state.fl.us/contractsadministrationdistrict6/Design_Build/DesignBuild.shtm. It is the responsibility of all potential Proposers to monitor this site for any changing information prior to submitting your Proposals. Unless otherwise notified in writing by the Department, the dates indicated below for submission of items or for other actions on the part of a Proposer shall constitute absolute deadlines for those activities and failure to fully comply by the time stated shall cause a Proposer to be disqualified.

A public meeting will be held for the final analysis and selection of the teams that have the highest likelihood of being selected the BVP. 3. Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals Pass/Fail

Each shortlisted firm will be given the option to submit draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals, pursuant to the Procurement Schedule, for review and comment by Department Staff, prior to final submission of Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals for ARC evaluation. Each shortlisted firm may submit up to three (3) Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals for evaluation by the ARC. Each ARC member will independently pass or fail each option submitted. Each ARC member will also rank the options provided by a Proposer against the other options provided by the same Proposer. An example of the pass-fail/ranking sheet that will be provided to the ARC members is provided as a reference document, RD-08, to this RFP.

Although the ARC members will rank the different options against the other options provided by a Proposer, these rankings are purely for informational purposes only, and will have no direct impact on the Pass/Fail decision or on the evaluation of the Proposer’s Technical Proposal.

In a public meeting, as outlined on the Procurement Schedule, the pass/fail results will be opened and confirmed by the PSC. In order for an option to be “passed,” it must receive four (4) out of five (5) “passes” from the ARC members.

If after all the options from all the Proposers have been scored, less than three (3) teams have received an option that “passed,” the PSC will recalculate the options based on “passing” being lowered to three (3) out of five (5) passes from the ARC members.

Proposers must receive at least one “pass” rating on at least one option to advance to Phase III of the procurement. Each Proposer that receives more than one (1) “passing” option must choose one of the “passed” options to incorporate in the Technical Proposals in Phase III of the procurement.

Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals and Draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals shall be delivered by the submission deadline on the Procurement Schedule to:

Nadine Chinapoo Procurement Office, District 6 1000 NW 111th Ave, Room #6202 Miami, FL 33172

Acknowledgement of receipt of the Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals and Draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals will be evidenced by the issuance of a receipt by a member of the Department staff. The Department will not accept facsimile or other electronically submitted Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals or Draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals.

The Department will not accept any Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals and/or Draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals delivered after the Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposal Due Date.

Vetting Meeting for the Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals

The Department will meet with each Proposer twice to discuss the submitted Draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals as outlined below. These meetings will be held in order to discuss any concerns the Proposers and/or the Department may have about the Proposers Draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals. For these vetting meetings only, there is no limit to number of Signature Bridge Options that may be submitted. No decisions will be made by the Department concerning ATCs, or other binding approvals, and no member of the PSC, TRC, or the ARC will attend the Vetting Meetings. The meetings are solely to have an open discussion with the Department concerning its understanding and completeness of the Draft Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposals prior to the Proposers Final Submission of the Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposal. If a Proposers Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposal is such that it will require an ATC to be approved in order for it to be in compliance with the RFP, the Proposer may still submit the Aesthetic Signature Bridge Proposal for evaluation, but the Department makes no commitment through the Vetting Meeting or any other correspondence that the ATC will be approved. A Passing Score by the ARC does not relieve the Proposer from seeking approval for any ATCs that may be required due to the design.

Request for Proposal SR 836/I-395/I-95 Project December 12, 2016

1. Adjectival Scoring System

The Department will evaluate and score the criteria for all portions of the Proposal. For the Technical and Aesthetic Proposals, the Department will rate the individual sections, as outlined in Section III.D, using an adjectival (qualitative/descriptive) ratings method, as follows:

ADJECTIVE DESCRIPTION RATING

Excellent The Proposal significantly exceeds stated requirements/objectives in a beneficial way, providing advantages, benefits or added value to the Total Project, and provides a consistently outstanding level of quality.

Very Good The Proposal exceeds the stated requirements/objectives in a beneficial way, providing advantages, benefits or added value to the Total Project, and offers a significantly better than acceptable quality.

Good The Proposal comfortably meets the stated requirements/objectives, provides some advantages, benefits or added value to the Total Project and offers a generally better than acceptable quality.

Fair The Proposer has demonstrated an approach which is considered to marginally meet stated requirements/objectives and meets a minimum level of quality.

Poor The Proposer has demonstrated an approach which contains significant weaknesses/deficiencies and/or unacceptable quality.

Department management, not involved in direct scoring of the Proposals, will establish the numerical equivalents to the above adjectival ratings prior to the Technical Proposal Due Date. All persons who will evaluate Proposals will not know the numerical equivalents assigned to the adjectival scores prior to the conclusion of the evaluation process. Once the Department has evaluated the Proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria and assigned adjectival scores, Department procurement personnel will convert the adjectival scores to numerical scores using numerical equivalents which will be rounded to the third decimal place.

Any such reduction should be billed by the Design-Build Firm on the next monthly invoice, or as otherwise outlined above.

4. Section 337.145 of the Florida Statutes, providing for offsetting payments, is not applicable to the Department Contract.

VII. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.

A. DBE Availability Goal Percentage:

The Department of Transportation has an overall, race-neutral DBE goal. This means that the State’s goal is to spend a portion of the highway dollars with Certified DBE’s as prime Design-Build Firms or as subcontractors. Race-neutral means that the Department believes that the overall goal can be achieved through the normal competitive procurement process. The Department has reviewed the Department Project and assigned a DBE availability goal shown in the Project Advertisement and on the bid blank/contract front page under “% DBE Availability Goal.” The Department has determined that this DBE percentage can be achieved on the Department Project based on the number of DBE’s associated with the different types of work that will be required.

Under 49 CFR Part 26, if the overall goal is not achieved, the Department may be required to return to a race- conscious program where goals are imposed on individual contracts. The Department encourages Design- Build Firms to actively pursue obtaining bids and quotes from Certified DBE’s.

The Department is reporting to the Federal Highway Administration the planned commitments to use DBE’s. This information is being collected through the Department’s Equal Opportunity Compliance (EOC) system.

B. DBE Supportive Services Providers:

The Department has contracted with a consultant, referred to as DBE Supportive Services Provider, to provide managerial and technical assistance to DBE’s. This consultant is also required to work with prime Design- Build Firms, who have been awarded contracts, to assist in identifying DBE’s that are available to participate on the Department Project. The successful Design-Build Firm should meet with the DBE Supportive Services Provider to discuss the DBE’s that are available to work on the Department Project. The current DBE Supportive Services Provider for the State of Florida can be found in the Equal Opportunity website at: http://www.dot.state.fl.us/equalopportunityoffice/serviceproviders.shtm

C. Bidders Opportunity List:

The Federal DBE Program requires States to maintain a database of all Firms that are participating, or attempting to participate, on DOT-assisted contracts. The list must include all Firms that bid on prime contracts or bid or quote subcontracts on DOT-assisted Projects, including both DBE’s and Non-DBE’s.

A Bid Opportunity List should be submitted through the Equal Opportunity Compliance system which is available at the Equal Opportunity Office Website. This information should be returned to the Equal

Opportunity Office within 3 days of submission.

B. Innovative Aspects:

All innovative aspects shall be identified separately as such in the Technical Proposal. An innovative aspect does not include revisions to specifications, standards or established Department policies. Innovative aspects may include, but are not limited to, the Design-Build Firm’s means and methods, roadway alignments, approach to Project, use of new products, and new uses for established products. Innovative aspects included in the Design-Build Firm’s Proposal must take into consideration the additional time which may be required for reviews and approvals. ATCs and APTEs are considered innovative aspects.

1. Alternative Technical Concept Proposals and Aesthetic Project Technical Enhancements

The ATC process allows innovation, flexibility, time and cost savings on the design and construction of Design-Build Projects while still meeting the Department Commitments. Any deviation from the requirements of the RFP that the Design-Build Firms seeks to obtain approval to utilize prior to Technical Proposal submission is, by definition, an ATC and therefore must be submitted to the Department for consideration through the ATC process. Any proposed material or technology not addressed by the RFP is considered an ATC and therefore must be submitted to the Department for consideration through the ATC process.

One-on-One ATC discussion meetings may be held in order for the Design-Build Firm to describe proposed changes to supplied basic configurations, Project scope, design criteria, and/or construction criteria. Each Design-Build Firm with proposed changes may request to attend one of the previously scheduled One-on- One ATC discussions meeting to describe the proposed changes. The Design-Build Firm shall provide, by the deadline shown in the Schedule of Events of this RFP, a preliminary list of ATC proposals to be reviewed and discussed during the One-on-One ATC discussion meetings. This list may not be inclusive of all ATCs to be discussed but it should be sufficiently comprehensive to allow the Department to identify appropriate personnel to participate in the One-on-One ATC discussion meetings. The purpose of the One- on-One ATC discussion meeting is to discuss the ATC proposals, answer questions that the Department may have related to the ATC proposal, review other relevant information and when possible establish whether the proposal meets the definition of an ATC thereby requiring the submittal of a formal ATC submittal. The meeting should be between representatives of the Design-Build Firm and/or the Design- Build Engineer of Record and District/Central Office staff as needed to provide feedback on the ATC

December 12, 2016 Page 80 of 216

Request for Proposal SR 836/I-395/I-95 Project December 12, 2016 proposal.

An APTE is a specific type of ATC, and must comply with all requirements in the RFP applicable to ATCs, that contains features that enhances the I-395 Specific component of the Department Project beyond the Aesthetic Baseline Requirements specified in the Aesthetics Manual (Attachment A-18). Potential APTEs are provided in the Aesthetics Manual in boxed text for various project components. The potential APTEs contained within the Aesthetics Manual are intended to provide examples of possible APTEs the Proposer may wish to consider. The examples are not intended to be exhaustive or restrictive, of possible APTEs. The inclusion of these examples, the order in which the examples appear, or the exclusion of other possible APTEs, is not an indication of weighting or importance. The Department reserves the right to reject APTEs that are deemed to be difficult or costly to maintain. All proposed APTEs must be discussed and submitted to the Department for consideration and approval through the ATC process.

All proposed ATCs shall provide an approach that is equal to or better than the requirements of the RFP, as determined by the Department. ATC Proposals which reduce scope, quality, performance, or reliability should not be proposed. A proposed concept does not meet the definition of an ATC if the concept is contemplated by the RFP.

The Department retains the sole discretion to approve or deny an ATC including, but not limited to, an ATC in which the visual appearance depicted for the Signature Bridge is noticeably different from that depicted in the Approved Signature Bridge Package, without a need to state justification. An ATC may be given an approval with preconditions at the sole discretion of the Department.

Pursuant to the timeframes contained in the Project Schedule in this RFP, the Proposers must submit all final ATC submittals by December 16, 2016 5:00 PM local time except those for the I-95 pavement design and the minimum width of lanes in direct response to the RFP dated November 21, 2016. The deadline for final ATC submittals that are exclusively for the I-95 pavement design and the minimum width of lanes in direct response to the RFP dated November 21, 2016 is December 21, 2016 5:00 PM local time. As a precondition to submitting a final ATC submittal, the Proposer must have previously submitted the ATC as a draft ATC submittal and discussed such draft ATC submittal with the Department. The Department shall not approve any final ATC submittal that has not been previously submitted as a draft ATC submittal and discussed at a One-on-One ATC Meeting with the Department. All draft ATC submittals must be submitted by October 31, 2016. The final ATC submittal must be identical to the draft ATC submittal except as modified pursuant to discussions with the Department at ATC Meeting No.4, or if the draft ATC submittal is being submitted as a direct response to an Addendum that was issued by the Department after October 31, 2016. A final ATC submittal must specifically identify the previously submitted draft ATC submittal that it is based upon with, if applicable, specific notation of modifications made pursuant to prior discussions with the Department at ATC Meeting No.4 or as a direct response to an Addendum that was issued by the Department after October 31, 2016.

The Department will endeavor to keep all ATC submissions confidential prior to the Final Selection of the Proposer to the fullest extent allowed by law, with few exceptions. All acceptable ATCs will be treated one of two ways; either an addendum to the RFP will be issued and all Proposers will be made aware of the allowance or no addendum will be issued and only the Proposer that submitted the ATC will be permitted to utilize the ATC in its design. The Department retains the right to issue an addendum in its sole discretion, regardless of the possibility that the addendum discloses a Design-Build Firm’s idea, in the specific cases where an error or oversight is discovered in the RFP. Except under situations described previously, prior to approving ATCs which would result in the issuance of an addendum, the Design-Build Firm will be given the option to withdraw previously submitted ATC proposals. In any situation in which the Department contemplates issuing an addendum for a submitted ATC the Department will endeavor to maintain

December 12, 2016 Page 81 of 216

Request for Proposal SR 836/I-395/I-95 Project December 12, 2016 confidentiality of the Design-Build Firm’s submitted ATC.

I-395, I-95, and MDX Specific The Design-Build Firm shall verify that all existing cross drains and storm sewers that are to remain have adequate hydraulic capacity and design life. Flood flow requirements will be determined in accordance with the Department’s procedures. If any of these existing cross drains or storm sewers are found to be hydraulically inadequate or found to have insufficient design life, they must be replaced or supplemented in accordance with the drainage requirements of this RFP. If any existing cross drains or storm sewers require repairs but otherwise would have sufficient remaining design life, repairs shall be made in accordance with the requirements of this RFP. These requirements apply to areas of pavement reconstruction and widening as defined in this RFP.

If pipes are proposed to cross bridge/MSE wall interfaces (e.g. thru end bent backwalls), such piping shall consist of steel pipe with welded joints and the piping system and bridge hangers shall be designed for the differential settlement. End I-395, I-95, and MDX Specific

I-395 and I-95 Specific Existing drainage systems both inside and outside the Project Right of Way that (a) convey runoff from the Project ROW and (b) are to remain in service, shall be cleaned and desilted to the first existing drainage structure downstream of the physical connection point, Right of Way, or limit of Project drainage improvement, whichever is further. This includes cleaning and desilting of City of Miami drainage lines that convey runoff from the Project ROW. These requirements apply to areas of pavement

Request for Proposal SR 836/I-395/I-95 Project December 12, 2016 reconstruction and widening as defined in this RFP. Existing drainage wells within the Project Limits or located along discharge pipes shall be cleaned.

The drainage system shall be independently designed based on the owner of the Right-of-Way in which each is being built in. All existing local street drainage within the FDOT Right of Way to remain in service shall remain connected to existing local street drainage systems and storm sewer outfall trunk lines and maintain these as overflow connections as long as pre-development discharges are not exceeded and/or there is not an adverse flooding impact downstream of the system. Drainage systems proposed outside of the FDOT Right-of-Way shall not be connected to drainage systems inside the FDOT Right-of- Way. Any proposed disconnection of local street drainage systems outside the ROW but within the Project shall be coordinated by the Design-Build Firm with the City of Miami Public Works Department. End I-395 and I-95 Specific

MDX Specific The proposed drainage system consists of catch basins, bridge scuppers, French drains, culverts and storm drains of various diameters collecting runoff from the SR 836 highway and its adjacent local roads and parcels. The conceptual design provides overflow points to the local drainage systems that belong to the City of Miami. The proposed final design shall not impact the conveyance capacity of these systems. Any new connection or rerouting of these systems shall be coordinated with the City of Miami, or legal entities having jurisdiction.

The Design-Build Firm shall desilt all existing pipes to remain in place. Existing outfall main pipes shall be cleaned/desilted from the connection to the discharge points. Existing drainage wells shall be cleaned. Outfall pipes to canals/rivers shall be fitted with manatee grates.

One system of particular importance is located underneath the SR-836 Bridge in a property used as a parking lot which is bounded by NW North River Drive, NW 12th Street, and NW 12th Avenue. This parking lot must remain operational during the construction phases, and the numbers of available parking spaces shall be maximized to the possible extent within the unaffected construction areas. Construction of the final conveyance system for the parking lot, as well as the grading shall be phased to minimize impact on the amount of available parking spaces.

Another critical system is the detention wet ponds located within the I-95/SR-836 Interchange. These ponds are not stage controlled and are receiving runoff from an existing City of Miami pump station located at the North East corner of the Interchange. The existing outlet located at the south east pond, as well as the connecting channel and culvert linking the south west pond and the north pond shall remain operational and free of obstructions since any rise in water level might affect the City of Miami Overtown Neighborhood. The conceptual design to collect and dispose the runoff consists of catch basins, detention swales, French drains, dry and wet detention ponds as shown in the Stormwater Management Report provided under Reference Document MDXRD-01.

The MDX Stormwater Management Report shall be revised as follows:

a. Section 2.6 Tidal Fluctuation – Replace the last sentence “The analysis performed will use these data in setting up the tail water conditions for the modeling of the drainage basins.” with “The design high water elevation of 2.0’ (N.A.V.D. 88) shall be used for tailwater and 1.0’ (N.A.V.D. 88) shall be used for Seasonal High Groundwater Elevation in the design of all roadway and site drainage systems within the Project Limits. ICPR Flood Routing shall establish Initial Water Level

December 12, 2016 Page 144 of 216

Request for Proposal SR 836/I-395/I-95 Project December 12, 2016

of 1.0’ (N.A.V.D. 88) and Peak Water Level of 2.0’ (N.A.V.D. 88) for Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and Groundwater Boundary.”

b. Section 2.7 Groundwater – Replace the entire paragraph with “Seasonal High Groundwater Elevation shall be 1.0’ (N.A.V.D. 88) for all locations within the Project corridor. This design elevation is established by FDOT D-6 in coastal areas in Miami-Dade County. Minimum Dry Retention Area Bottom Elevation shall be 2.0’ (N.A.V.D. 88). Optimum French drain invert elevation shall be 1.0’ (N.A.V.D. 88).” End MDX Specific

For streets that will be milled and resurfaced as identified in the conceptual Roadway Plans, the Design- Build Team shall clean/desilt all storm drains and drainage structures and replace all inlet tops. Inlet tops that are in good conditions may remain if approved by the Department.

For streets that will be reconstructed, a new drainage system will be required. Drainage design of the new drainage systems on roads that belongs to the City of Miami shall be done as per the City of Miami drainage design criteria as depicted in the Stormwater Management Report. In addition, all drainage work on surface streets will be per City of Miami Standards, which can be accessed through link below:

http://www.miamigov.com/publicworks/docs/pdfs/EngineeringStandards.pdf

The Design-Build Firm shall incorporate features into the drainage design that minimize long-term maintenance. New Trench Drains shall not be allowed.

The Design-Build Firm will consider optional culvert materials in accordance with the Department’s Drainage Manual Criteria.

Prior to proceeding with the Drainage Design, the Design-Build Firm shall meet with the District Drainage Engineer.

via the single mode FOC communications backbone installed along the corridor. The Arterial Dynamic Message Sign ADMS communicate with wireless radios to a hub site connected to the single mode FOC communications backbone installed along the corridor. The POMT’s DMS inserts are part of the POMT ITS equipment and communicate via the POMT’s single mode FOC and radio communication system.  Vehicle Detection Systems (VDS): The VDS consists of non-intrusive microwave technology sensors used to collect vehicle volume, speed and occupancy data from mainline travel lanes. The detectors are typically located at approximately one-third (1/3) mile intervals. The detectors are installed on stand-alone concrete poles and/or attached to other ITS device structures in a side-fired configuration to detect data on a lane by lane basis. The VDS is used for incident detection by Department staff and to communicate with the single mode FOC communications backbone installed along the corridor. The POMT’s VDS system, although not as extensive as the Department’s, operates similarly.  Fiber Optic Network (FON): The FON infrastructure provides communications for ITS and Tolls components. The FON is composed of the FOC communications backbone, lateral connections and communications equipment including but not limited to field and HUB Ethernet switches, port servers, routers, fiber patch panels installed at the various ITS device(s) serving as a local HUB. The POMT’s FON infrastructure, although not as extensive as the Department’s, operates similarly. The POMT’s FON is separate and distinct from the Department’s FON. In addition to the FON, the POMT has radio communication equipment.  For clarification purposes, any reference in this RFP to the mainline fiber optic backbone that is installed along the corridor shall be defined as the “backbone”. The fiber optic cable between the backbone and a building (ramp and mainline locations) shall be defined as the “Tolls lateral”. The fiber optic cable between the backbone and ITS components shall be defined as the “ITS lateral”.  The Department’s FOC communications backbone consists of a single mode fiber optic cable and conduit, locate tone wire, warning tape, fiber route markers, pull boxes, and splice boxes. The backbone provides access points for the various ITS and Toll System components along the corridor for network connectivity as previously described.  The majority of the Department’s ITS components are connected to the backbone through a lateral single mode fiber optic cable inside conduit. The majority of the POMT’s ITS components are connected through a six (6) count single mode fiber optic cable inside one (1), 2-inch HDPE conduit and radio communication equipment to a backbone single mode fiber connection.
