December 7, 2015Idaho National Laboratory (INL) needs additional fiber optic services at the Specific Manufacturing Capability (SMC). INL has a lease contract with Syringa Wireless, and Syringa wireless would perform the proposed action to extend fiber services at INL. The proposed service project would install approximately 2644 ft. of fiber optic cable from the TAN-601 Dial Room to the intersection of Lincoln Blvd and Hwy 33. Syringa Wireless would own the fiber optic cable and complete the installation work. Construction Management would oversee the project, and Syringa Wireless would use their own work control to complete the task. The trenching is not in the INL Storm Water Corridor and would not cross any stream channels.
