CLOSED: Request for Proposals for RFP for Broadband Data Collection and Mapping Services

RFP No. 2022-MBI-02

Massachusetts Technology Collaborative on behalf of the Massachusetts Broadband Institute (“MBI”) is issuing this Request for Proposals for Broadband Data Mapping and Collection Services (RFP No. 2022-MBI-02) to solicit responses from qualified contractors with experience in broadband data collection, analysis and mapping using GIS and other tools.

MBI requires assistance in creating a statewide broadband coverage map that shows the served and unserved locations throughout the Commonwealth. This effort involves collecting, processing, analyzing and mapping data from service providers to show the resulting address locations in the Commonwealth that currently do not have access to broadband service at 25/3 Mbps, and possibly other speed thresholds such as 100/20 or 100/100 Mbps. MBI also needs assistance processing, analyzing, and mapping broadband speed test data and other sources of information on broadband availability and quality (such as subscriber survey data) to supplement and verify the provider coverage data and to identify areas with possible quality of service issues requiring further research and analysis.

Full details included in the RFP below.
