After your project is funded, detailed and deliberate management of the implementation process ensures that your network is completed on time, within budget, and according to the technological standards you’ve set. DynamicCity uses proven methods to plan and execute implementation on community network projects. DynamicCity guides progress through every step of the implementation, providing seasoned and experienced project managers who are intimately familiar with all aspects of fiber-optic network construction.

RFP/Bid management

The project managers coordinate closely with the project executive management team to authorize and initiate the release of RFPs to the vendor community, and also to manage the bidding and selection processes.

Contracts and Agreements

DynamicCity uses custom contract templates as tools to expedite contract execution with contractors. We will ensure that contract structures properly align the completion of and payment for progress milestones with stated network objectives.

Engineering

With DynamicCity’s award-winning fiber plant design tools, we  engineer the outside and inside plant facilities, following the guidelines and standards developed specifically for the project. Because the design of a last-mile access network is particularly unique, a network engineered by DynamicCity is intended to be the most flexible, expandable, future-proof design in today’s marketplace.

Construction Management

DynamicCity places an experienced construction manager in the field to provide the most effective and efficient oversight of construction contractors. In this manner, the cost, schedules, and product quality are maintained and properly managed.

Inspection and Documentation

DynamicCity’s inspectors are tasked with ensuring every component of the inside and outside plant is constructed and installed to industry and project specifications. The fiber plant will be tested and inspectors will review the test results and authorize plant turnover to the network integration team. Inspectors authorize and annotate changes from the engineering design and an “as-built” network inventory database will be prepared for delivery to operations.

Network Integration

Once the outside and inside plant elements are constructed, inspected and tested, field technicians will rack, stack, and integrate the electronic elements into the network. They will install and configure out-of-band and in-band management systems, network monitoring and security systems, and will document the physical and logical configuration of the network.

Testing and Turnover

Prior to opening the network to customers and production traffic, network engineers will run the network through rigorous testing to ensure that network will perform to the highest of expectations. Test teams will perform network load, capacity, failover, and security tests on the network to ensure the network will exceed the performance levels dictated by network service levels. Once passed and completed, the network is turned over to operations for network launch.
